Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy, sweet new year. Tonight is the beginning of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year celebration. One tradition to celebrate the new year is to dip an apple in honey. The past couple of years I've been making sure to buy the apples and honey from my local farmer's market. The apples taste a million times better and so does the honey. And there's something special about knowing where what I'm eating comes from and that it's encouraging people that work so hard to keep healthy, tasty, local food available.
Farmer's markets are going to be around until November, so stop by and enjoy the fall harvest, it's one of the best times to get produce in New England! Check out this link to find a market near you: http://www.massfarmersmarkets.org/
My personal favorites:
Mondays in Central Sq - great asian greens selection
Tuesdays and Friday in Copley Sq - The flower stand sometimes has fresh ginger. And Sienna Farms has really interesting varieties of veggies.
Wednesdays in Davis Sq - Convenient location, sometimes in the fall they have fresh oysters, asian greens are here too.
Saturdays in Union Sq - Tons of stands, more mushrooms than any other market. And a lot of times there's some interesting event going on during or after the market.
