While we certainly sell our share of vegetables and eggs at the farmer's market, we do our fair share of buying/trading too. Last week we brought home Northslope's farmhouse pears and sweet red and orange peppers, two bags of hot chiles to string and dry since we didn't plant drying chilies this year, half of a watermelon and a load of sweet potatoes from ER and Sons, fresh mozzarella from Griggstown farms, a loaf of challah and a mini-bagueete from the Village Bakery.

Our first local meal of the week was non local pasta mixed with sauteed summer squash, zuchinni, sweet peppers, onions (from ER and Sons), garlic (from Northslope), and some non-local olive oil.  Delicious!
