Home-made organic chevre? In Dallas! Wow!
By: (Jul 30, 2008)
I had the garlic-&-basil & was it good! Next I'll try the caramelized onion. This is an amazingly diverse, growing, Farmers' Market. It has some organic/non-chemical growers, as well as local small farmers and odd truck with boxes from the State Farmers Market, as well as fresh cut herbs, baked goods, *amazing* local vegetables, free-range eggs, handicrafts, all you'd expect of a Farmers' Market. One *great* addition--and one which is taking the Dallas Farmers Market from corn & tomatoes out of the back of a truck or two to the level of an impressive & vital source for the yummiest goods in the county, is the participation of (and co-sponsorship by) the local Master Gardeners Association. They're the cheerful source for all your gardening questions, as well as rain barrels; they also sell plants--muscadines & scuppernongs, ornamentals, baby Japanese Maples for unbelievably low prices, and--most exciting to me--Southeastern native plants. It's an absolute *must*! Once you've tried corn just picked hours before, or a casaba melon so sweet and fragrant just taking it home perfumes your car for a week, or a home-grown tomato--all local and with a carbon toenailprint, not footprint!--you'll never feel the same way about grocery-store produce again. Get there early as you can--the Silver Queen goes fast!
