Hi there!

Hello, August! It's Week 10 here at Fresh Fork Market and we're welcoming the new month with a bang: big bags full of peaches, cucumbers, corn, cabbage & cantaloupe coming your way.  
 
The arrival of the roadside "SWEET CORN" stands signals the peak of summer around here.  Each plant grows two delicious ears, and the  sugars that make them so sweet begin to convert to starch right after they're harvested, which is why you should eat them as fresh as possible-- and always locally grown.   Click here to read more about our Sweet Corn. 

This week's bag is perfect for an outdoor cookout: a head of green cabbage and four more ears of sweet corn (make some of our Cabbage Cornslaw!), a candy onion and some cucumbers (try this tasty looking Cucumber Greek Salad), zucchini, cantaloupe, and some peaches. The Omnivores will also get a pack of our smoked Kielbasa: garlic forward, smoked link. 4 links per pack, 1.25# per package. This sausage is great braised with cabbage or kraut, seared on a skillet and finished in the oven, or grilled over indirect heat. 

The Vegetarian & Large bags will get some lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes and carrots, and the Large Shares will also get a bag of pinto beans (Large Vegetarians will also get eggs and grape cider.)
