The Blog Tech and I hit the road last Saturday and headed north looking for farm stands.
Nice barn, I guess all of those cupolas are for ventilation.
Abundant fields thanks to all of the June rain.
Amish country, farm stands are immanent.
A buggy driven by a woman.
Corn.
Good weather for hay making.
We forgot our camera so he used his phone.
The payoff for these trips is what all of our fresh finds are turned into as soon as we return. We scored red new potatoes.
 |
| And some new garlic. |
 |
| The potatoes were cubed and the garlic was diced. |
 |
| They were turned into buttered parsley potatoes using Amish butter and they were wonderful. |
We bought some candy onions...
a big cabbage....
some fresh carrots..
 |
| and made a very good coleslaw. |
The raspberries were eaten on cereal.
The cherries were just eaten.
 |
| The first corn of the season was oven roasted. |
 |
| And blueberries... |
were baked in a pie.
A few cherry tomatoes picked from the garden and we had a wonderful Summer lunch.

But it is a berry and fruit year, I'll get loads of raspberries and more blueberries than I've ever gotten before but none of those are close to ripe yet, we need a week or two with sunshine now.
I'll see if they have fresh corn next time I go to the super market, not Swedish of course, not many grow corn here and they won't be edible until way in to August I think.
Have a great day!
Christer.
All the vegetables and fruit you purchase look really amazing.
I love Amish Farm Markets, wish we had more down this way.
