At the Market

It’s midsummer, and the peak time to visit the market. These are the seasonal foods in central Ohio now, available from local farmers and gardeners: green and wax beans, zucchini and yellow summer squash, eggplant, beets, carrots, cucumbers, kale, Swiss chard, onions, sweet and hot peppers, potatoes, sweet corn, melons, peaches, cherries, tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs. You’ll also find meats and cheeses, baked goods, natural snacks and juices, jams and jellies, pickles, barbecue sauce, honey, granola, and more. See you at the market!

Summer Sweet Peas

6/21/2010 10:55am by Mary Meyer

Summer has officially begun. Days are long, and we’re finally getting some sunshine! More local produce will be appearing each week at Coshocton Farmers’ Market.

It’s been unfortunate weather for strawberries this year, with heavy rains coming right at their peak. But area gardens made up for the lack of strawberries with abundant lettuce and salad greens. Now it’s time for fresh peas. Look for the flat, edible-pod snow peas popular in Chinese cooking, sweet shelling peas, and sugar snap peas—full-size peas with edible, crunchy pods.
