Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following tip for a fruit and vegetable wash from author Suzy Scherr's book The Apple Cider Vinegar Companion: "Fill a clean sink halfway with lukewarm water and add 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Add your fruit and/or vegetables and soak items for about 10 minutes (less time for fragile berries - 2-5 minutes is fine). Then rinse well".

Wright's Farm is now in full on heirloom tomato mode - time to savor the season!

Conant Valley Jam will have this year's limited edition of Wild Raspberry Jam, which has a rich and pure flavor. Also, they'll have Plum & Pinot Jam, which makes a great sauce for any meat or poultry (and, of course, is great on your breakfast toast or yogurt).

Spice Revolution has two brand NEW and delicious sea salts, just in time for heirloom vegetable season. First is Ghost pepper sea salt (very spicy, adding a serious kick of heat and flavor), the second is Espresso sea salt (rich and earthy, adding depth to your dishes).

Both Fjord Vineyards and Cooper's Daughter Spirits are in this Saturday - each offering a terrific representation of what the Hudson Valley offers in fine wines and creative farm distillery items.

Did you run out of oats this morning? River Valley Community Grains is in again this week with their full line of heirloom grains, milled perfectly.

The ripeness of summer arrives at the Edgwick Farm tent with two new seasonal pairings with their fresh goat cheese. For the sweet pairing, a fresh apricot jam is layered under their honeyed soft goat cheese. For the savory one, a basil pesto (with pine nuts) is layered under their soft goat cheese. Edgwick Farm is offering a taste of each to try this Saturday.

Trotta Foods makes fresh pasta, for every market. This week try their Summer Squash Caramelle. These handmade "candy wraps" of basil pasta, are generously filled with a delicious mixture of green & yellow summer squash, red roasted peppers, and fresh ricotta and spices. Great with a simple sauce like Trotta's Filetto di Pomodorio
