We learned of a new taste treat this week.  Cherries from Martin Family
Orchards or Tiny’s Organics combined with Crimson Cove smoked blue cheese makes an excellent snack, or add to a salad. You can pit the cherries, stuff with cheese and enjoy! Yum!

The crops are flooding into the market, with tomatoes, zuchinni, peas, beans and more! Yummy time of year to be eating local!

Thanks,
Jackie and Michele
