NEWTONS' FARMERS' MARKETS HEAT UP

Newton's Elm Street & Cold Spring Park Farmers' Markets are heating up, and that's even before SA's homestyle hot sauce joins the party on July 21st...

PLAY IT COOL: OUR 1ST EVER

BEER TASTING EVENT

JULY 21 9:30 AM - 2 PM

That's right, the Newton Farmers' Market is teaming up with some of the coolest local breweries, Paddy's Pub, and Judith's Kitchen to bring great craft beer to you! Join us on July 21st to sample craft beer from Jack's Abby, Mighty Squirrel, Lord Hobo, & Willie's Superbrew. Shop the market, taste the brews at Paddy's, where you can also purchase full pours, & then purchase beer to take home from Judith's Kitchen.

HOT STUFF: GRILLED VEGETABLES

We love the ease of summer, including getting out of the kitchen and cooking dinner on the grill. Pair Taste of Home's Grilled Vegetable Platter with the best corn soup we've sampled-- Cooking Light's Chilled Corn Soup, and a slab of grilled, crusty, bread , for a perfect summer meal. And be sure to check out Liberty Bread's artisanal masterpieces at the Cold Spring Park market.

LOOK HOT: MAYUR NATURALS

At Elm Street on July 14

We're welcoming Manjari Saha and her line of organic, vegan, and gluten free skincare and cosmetics to the market this Saturday!

STAY COOL: WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS

BEST LEMONADE IN NEWTON

When Life Gves You Lemons is hands down the best lemonade in Newton. Each colossal cup is fresh squeezed and made to order with ingredients you choose. Last Saturday it was lemonade, mint and watermelon with agave. This week--who knows?

BE COOL: EAT LOCAL

‌

Eating locally grown food not only tastes better, it's healthier for you, helps the environment by cutting down on fuel usage, and supports the local farming industry. Read about other benefits of eating locally, and why you should feel great about purchasing your food from the farmers' market.

UMMM, SO WHAT DO I DO WITH KOHLRABI?

Kohlrabi never takes center stage at the farmers' market. Those spots are reserved for sweet corn, meaty tomatoes, and lush heads of lettuce--straight-forward vegetables that you know exactly how to prepare. Kohlrabi usually lurks in the side bin; its strange, alien-looking shape scaring away all but the most adventurous of shoppers.

Well, if you haven't yet given kohlrabi a whirl, why not pick some up at the next farmers' market? It's a member of the Brassica family, along with broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage, and is the perfect starring attraction served raw in slaws. We've culled through recipes and our favorite is Kohlrabi Slaw with Cilantro, Jalapeño & Lime . Try it and let us know what you think!

THAT'S HOT: MARKET 2DAY PULLS INTO COLD SPRING PARK
