farmers market haul: week of august 16

August 23, 2020 by Guest User in food and cooking

I love the farmers market. I love being able to buy local, seasonal produce and products directly from the source. You can really taste the difference both in the quality and care. Plus, I’ve found that it pushes me to try new things and gets me excited about cooking. I’ve shared several of my market hauls, but what happens to all these amazing ingredients?

Over the last week, I documented the things I’ve cooked using many of the items from these amazing farmers. I included a list of items from my August 16 haul (categorized by farm) and linked adapted recipes where applicable. If you have questions on modifications I made or about something that doesn’t have a recipe link (some things I made up!), let me know in the comments below.

A few notes…

  • I didn’t use everything I bought from the market this week and I also used some items from past purchases.

  • All the photos in this post were taken with my iPhone.
