A recent e-mail from the Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing Research Program (and isn't that a mouthful?) tells me that August is Pennsylvania Produce Month.
The group says:
Whether it's visiting your local grocer or stopping by the roadside stand on your way home from work, local produce can be easily purchased for reasonable prices. The real bargains can be found now, during the peak season. So consider freezing or canning your locally bought produce to store for the winter months.
You'll remember I recently bought some local produce at Brown's. For some more suggestions on where to get local goodies veggies, visit paveggies.org.
Now, I have to ask. What's your favorite local fruit veggie, the one you wait all year for? I die for local strawberries and tomatoes. Jo would almost have me drummed out of the county for admitting I don't like corn. So I'm taking votes!
York County tomatoes-booo. Washington Boro tomatoes-yeaaa.
