Great opening weekend!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our opening weekend -- we hope you're enjoying your fresh oysters, strawberries, sausages, eggs, bread, lettuce and sugar snap peas, as well as those lovely flowers, soaps, ceramics, alpaca yarns, chocolates...the list goes on and on. Special thanks to all our volunteers, musicians and vendors -- this market simply wouldn't exist without all of you.
We'll continue to add new vendors, recipes and more to our website before the next market (June 7). And we'll keep updating the blog with ideas on local food, inside information on the market and its progress, and more. Also, if you have any recipes or any other market-related information you'd like to share, please contact us -- we're always on the lookout for fresh ideas!
Finally, there are new photos from Saturday on our flickr page...we'd love to see your photos from the market, too. Please join the flickr group and share your memories of the first day of the season.
See you at the next market, Saturday, June 7, at the Cheverly Community Center!

I for one had a great time hanging out and talking to all the Cheverly neighbors who stopped by. For those who tried the featured recipe, please stop by my website for the step by step assembly! It was delicious. And of course all the more delicious because of the impeccably fresh ingredients we picked up at the market.

I hope folks enjoyed the day as much as I did. We really stocked up on a lot of great meat, produce and other items (soap!) which should last us for awhile. A few highlights of what we enjoyed this week:

- juicy little strawberries as an appetizer
- beautiful green salad with lettuce that has flavor!
- scrambled eggs the color of the sun
- crunchy sauteed broccoli
- bolognese sauce made with grass-fed ground beef
- brioche with sweet strawberry-black raspberry jam

And that's just the start! I'm looking forward to all the interesting meal possibilities we'll have as we progress through the summer months.
