Northern Wisconsin's abbreviated growing season makes it hard to eat fresh and local year-round, although we are faring much better this year, thanks to hoop houses that many area growers have installed on their farms. We have two winter farm markets.
I dream of
summer markets, though, especially with the Daylight Savings Time and the spring equinox only days away.
Here's what I'm thinking about as I dream:
 |
| Big Juicy Tomatoes |
Favorite Way to Eat: Sliced, on a
breakfast tartine, with cheese, avocado or cucumber.
 |
| Bite-Size Indigo Rose Tomato |
Favorite Way to Eat: One by one, or in a salad.
 |
| Bicolor Corn |
Favorite Way to Eat: On the cob, with onion and chive butter, or in
this wild-rice salad.
 |
| Wax Beans and Green Beans |
Favorite Way to Eat: In a stir fry or in
Green Beans Amandine.
 |
| Fresh potatoes |
Favorite Way to Eat: In
potato salad or
roasted.
Lemon cucumber
Favorite Way to Eat: With sea alt in a salad. Must try
these recipes.
 |
| Sweet Red Peppers |
Favorite Way to Eat:
Stuffed,
roasted,
on pizza,
with chicken,
with zucchini and eggplant.
