Local Organic Produce!!!

Roadside farm stand goodies


I am in love with Vermont!!   I can drive a few miles down the road and purchase vegetables that have been cultivated organically by hands I can greet.  I feel so lucky to be in a location that appreciates local support.  Today I visited Foot Brook Farm in Johnson, VT. They had great prices and incredible produce.  Look at that uncured garlic, it is gor-geous!  The green beans and snap peas taste green, so fresh!  The guy at the stand told me that the heirloom tomatoes they had were as sweet as candy, I think this one will just be savored sliced.  Those pickling cucumbers are going to take a dip in a garlic salt brine.  Have  you ever seen red onions so beautiful with their greens to top them?!?  Sweet crunchy peppers and dark green zucchini, grill perhaps?  This is a welcome rainbow to my cutting board.  I wish I could write more but I just have to get back to my veggies and start something delish!
