Our local newspaper has noticed the popularity of our Farmer's Market(s). Two farmer's markets flourish in Hastings. Yay for Farmers and for Farmer's Markets!!
A tip from my favorite Farmer's Market cookbook -- Gooseberry Patch's Farmer's Market Favorites (that is using the word FAVORITE a lot, lol).
Until they're ready for your best recipe, tuck sprigs of fresh herbs into water-filled Mason jars or votive holders for a few days. Not only will they stay fresh longer, they'll look so lovely.
