Local Farmers Come to School

My school, Rutgers University, has opened a new farmers’ market recently. I paid my first visit there on Friday and was amazed by the variety of goods sold there.

The schedule, feel free to join me! And I picked up a copy of the magazine that has a long list of Jersey farmers’ market.

Anyone knows how to cook with kohlrabi? Please let me know!

I snack on fresh zucchini and squash; they are loaded with vitamin A, C and dietary fibers (low calories too, ladies). Just slice them and dip them into pesto, peanut butter, guacamole, or sprinkle a little salt on them for some flavor.

Carrots. Carrot cake after my banana bread?…perhaps.

Jersey cherries and blueberries are “in”!

Something I’d like to try soon.

Last but not least…cheese made from sheep milk. Cheese - I can’t live without it.
