Farmers Market Fresh
The University Farmers Market starts Thursday, 9 am-2 pm, on Webster’s Lawn, just east of Pioneer Theatre. Goody. Last Monday I went to Slow Food’s get-together at Late Bloomin’ Heirlooms, a backyard mini-farm in West Jordan. Now I’m a convert to heirloom tomatoes. Well, that and the fact that my garden has produced exactly two tomatoes this year. The first one in early July could have been store bought, it was so tasteless and mushy. The heirlooms were delicious beyond belief. I am hoping someone will show up at the U’s Farmers Market with them. Also, it would be absolutely fantastic if someone would bring farm fresh eggs to the market, as I have never tasted a really fresh egg.
I was hoping that my office mate would bring some in, but one of his Bountiful “neighbors” turned him in to the city and he had to relocate his dear hens to a relative’s farm. We’ll see. Last year I saw President Young among the passersby and had to compliment him for signing off on this very civilized endeavor. I saw a lot of other people doing likewise. See you there!
