This week market manager Laura Avery and Chef Bruce Kalman of Union in Pasadena discuss the minimum waste stream of root-to-leaf cooking. Plus, Aja Tamai of Tamai Family Farms discusses her sweet mini peppers and three varieties of honeydew melons – honeygold, honey dewlicious and summerdew.
What You Should Buy This Weekend from the Farmers’ Market:
– Persian and American cucumbers from Millikin Family Farms with growing locations in Santa Barbara and the Coachella Valley. Great both fresh and pickled!
– Melons and sweet peppers grown by Tamai Family Farms in the Coachella Valley. Listen to Aja Tamai discuss her produce on this week’s Market Report.
– The murrayberries from Murray Family Farms are only available for one more week. They are especially great for preserves and pie.
– Fava and yellow wax beans from Valdivia Farms in Carlsbad. Growing beans in your home garden will naturally enrich your soil with nitrogen.
