Farm To Philly :: Eat Local!

Clark Park market report, 11/15 and 11/17

Monday, November 19, 2007

Last Thursday’s farmers’ market at Clark Park was clearly the end of the season--not only was it full dark by the time I arrived, a few of the stands had empty tables from having sold the last of their produce. I made out pretty well, though, having pre-ordered twenty pounds of Gold Rush apples and a gallon of cider from North Star Orchard. I was also quite pleased to see dried beans available from Quaff Valley Farm (those are the bag on the left). On Saturday morning, I picked up a parsnip and another bag of mixed beans, this time from Margerum’s. I’m so glad it’s soup weather now!

I’m kind of beating myself up for not ordering some of their cider. Next year…

Another source for dried beans and I missed it again! It’s hard for me to get over to Clark Park, but I’m dying for some of those local beans. What to do, what to do? I’ve gotta figure something out to get my hands on those!

I totally agree with Lauren. I need me some of those beans! I’ll go ahead and Google Quaff’s and Margerum’s, but if you have contact information, would you send it my way?

Support a local farmer, crave the freshest produce, worry about what's in or on your food - whatever your reason for eating locally grown and produced food in the Philadelphia area, Farm to Philly is probably writing about it.
