Farmers Market...

We here at Epicurious Academics are great proponents of the Farmers Market. Farmers Markets are good because they (normally) support local agriculture as well as sustainable farming. Also, lets be honest food, vegetables and fruits purchased at Farmers Markets tend to be tastier. Fresher, sweeter, more ripe and generally better quality because the growers don't have to pick the produce super early to meet with the packaging and shipping demands of the supermarkets. While we admit that sometimes shopping at the Farmers Markets can be more expensive, sometimes better quality costs a little bit more. We are still a struggling college student and college grad but we will always have a special place in our hearts for Farmers Markets!


A bread and Cheese spread.
Bread: ACME
Juice: FRESH PRESSED APPLE
Cheese: I CAN'T REMEMBER BUT DAMN WAS IT TASTY!

Thanks Epicuriuos Academic friends for sharing the plunder!














Farmers Markets: Good for the Soul! Not to mention the benefits of fresh air!














PRODUCT:
Batch of partially eaten roasted green onions that were absolutely scrumptious! Really very amazing! Both Epicurious Academics Glatt and Dew are now absolutely obsessed with roasting green onions

TIP OF THE DAY: Make sure you get the large green onions, in between the sizes of leeks and scallions.

Green onions from Ferry Building Saturday Farmers Market: $1.50




















Love,
The Epicurious Academics
