Mid-summer veggies are starting to hit their stride, so be sure to stop by your area farmers market for tomatoes, berries, (the last of the) cherries and more. Keep reading for more foodie events near you!

The mid-summer veggie season is upon us and that means the beginning of tomatoes! For now, you’ll see a limited supply of greenhouse grown heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.
Also, arugula, beets, bok choy, cabbage, carrots, celery, collard greens, cucumbers, eggplant, fennel, garlic, green beans, hakurei turnips, head lettuce, kale, kohlrabi, mizuna, mustard greens, Napa cabbage, new potatoes, lettuce, lettuce mix, fresh onions, radishes, salad mix, summer squash, and Swiss chard. Sweet corn and tomatoes are right around the corner!
Also at the market this weekend: a chef demo with Luke Smithson of Jamie Hollander Catering & Events in New Hope. The market begins at 9 am and ends at 1 pm.
