The Tuesday Brookland Farmers Market from Michael Tabor of Licking Creek Bend Farm starts back up today Tuesday June 5th. The farmers market is every Tuesday throughout the summer from 4:30pm-7pm under the Michigan Avenue (Brookland Bridge) just north of the Brookland Metro.
In past years the Tuesday Brookland Farmers Market has gone through the early fall, last year’s last farmers market of the season as on Tuesday October 25th.
The Tuesday Farmers Market is great and they always have good items to buy, also there are CSA memberships that can be purchased and picked up at the Tuesday Market. The Upper Crust Bakery will once again be selling their delicious baked goods as well.
This Tuesday is our first official Brookland Farmers market of the season and our first CSA.
Make our farmers market a new part of your routine for Tuesdays – from 4:30 – 7:00pm. Upper Crust Bakery will join us again this season, and a little later on in June, we hope to add a granola table and home grown mushrooms!
Make sure to bring your own bags to carry your produce off (and if you have extras, we can use them).
This week you can expect:
- vine ripe tomatoes
- green beans
- broccoli
- unwaxed cucumbers
- asparagus
- green and yellow squash
- cabbage
- baby onions
- scallions
- garlic scapes
- arugula
- lettuces
- Swiss chard
- radishes
- strawberries
- herb medley (chives, thyme, savory, oregano)
One of our customers offered this recipe for a white bean dip using garlic scapes:
- a can of white beans (or soak dry beans and use a similar amount)
- a good amount of garlic scapes (to taste)
- olive oil – again, he didn’t give an amount, but proportional – so maybe start with 1 or 2 tablespoons, again to taste and texture
- lemon juice (again to taste, start with a tablespoon)
- lemon zest
- Parmesan cheese, again to taste
- blend all ingredients in a Cuisinart or blender.
See you Tuesday at the market,
Michael, Esther and Charmaine
