Summer has two weeks left, but these can be some of the best ones. Recent hot weather has kept supplies of summer tomatoes and peppers plentiful, with a bumper crop of color and flavor expected this Saturday at the Pleasantville Farmers Market. Make one last heirloom tomato salad, or grill a batch of gorgeous peppers. Enjoy these while you can as fall’s cool weather will eventually bring the parade of tomatoes and peppers to a close, setting the stage for fall produce, fruits and meats, and fall menus.

This week’s Phelps Health Tip:
To Keep It Healthy, Keep It Simple
“The fewer the ingredients, the more healthful the food. Great advice when it comes to purchasing fresh, seasonal food from regional farms. Tomatoes, peppers, carrots, apples, leafy greens – all just have one ingredient – themselves!”

Trotta Foods Prepared Meals
With kids back to school, school sports back in swing, and perhaps a desire by home cooks for an easy night -- get prepared! This Saturday Trotta Foods will have their Pasta and Vegetable Prepared Dinners. These feature great dishes made with market veggies. Two examples: their Eggplant Parmigiana and Vegetable Lasagna, and their Seasonal Eggplant Marinara and Basil Pasta.
Warwick Valley Winery & Black Dirt Distillery
The producers of the critically acclaimed Doc’s Craft Hard Apple Cider are also front and center in our region’s growing farm distillery movement. They created New York’s first Fruit Distillery to produce apple and pear brandies and a line of natural fruit liqueurs. Last summer, with some fanfare, they released their much anticipated Black Dirt Bourbon. Saturday stop by to collect favorite items, or learn about new additions to their line up.
