It's GROW Time!

It's that fabulous time of year again for delicious convenience and affordability! The Menomonee Falls Farmers Market is open weekly, now through November.

Our Menomonee Falls Farm Market opened up this past Wednesday and although I did not get a chance to visit,  it's absolutely on my calendar for the coming week.  As an organic cook and strong supporter of sustained farming, this is easily my favorite "food time" of the year!  With an array of  fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and even meats and dairy, our farm markets provide us with a convenient and affordable means of bringing fabulous tasting natural foods into our homes and into our health.  This is truly the best definition of "cooking with love".

Providing optimal nutrition and flavor to our family while supporting our local farm community is the healthiest way to direct our food dollars.  Talk to your farm market farmers - ask them about growing methods, recipe ideas, storage, freezing, etc.  If you spend your food dollars wisely and learn the simple art of freezing, fermenting and/or jarring, you may be able to enjoy this delicious and affordable harvest all year long.

See you Wednesday, at the Menomonee Falls Farmers Market!
