Looking over the selectionAs if there’s not enough to enjoy about warm weather, the bounty of summer produce makes the whole season that much more sublime. Shunned are bland, anemic tomatoes and too-firm fruits shipped from distant climes. These are the days when local farmers spread out their wares in jewel-toned, glistening splendor, when overflowing baskets weigh down wooden platforms with their heavy, sun-ripened goodness. It’s the time of year for farmers’ markets and roadside stands, when we eat locally and seasonally and eagerly search out the ready abundance. |
