I have been enjoying the Newton Farmer’s Market this summer more than usual. It really helped that my kids were in camp all day until 4:00 on Tuesdays so that I could go to the bigger Cold Spring Park Farmer’s Market sans cranky children. We have been eating 6 pounds of fresh peaches every three days, simply peeled and sliced at dinner. My youngest has also been enjoying the cucumbers; he loves them as does our dog. The Farmer’s Market cucumbers are fresher and more crisp than the ones at the grocery store. Both local Farmer’s Markets have the fish guys with very fresh fish and I’m always saying Finney’s Freshest Fish French Fried at dinner time (apologies to Dr. Seuss!). The tuna steaks were amazing!
If you have a chance, stop by. Get an ice cream at the Cold Spring Park one with your kids if you are nice and bring them along. There’s also a lemonade stand. I can’t believe that summer is almost over but the good news is that the Newton Farmer’s Markets continue until almost Halloween! Enjoy the bounty!
