Farmers market season is our favorite time of the year. We relish in the fresh tastes and colorful offerings at every turn. This special issue was inspired by those who know how to appreciate peak produce best--the farmers. No matter where you live, you, too, can make wholesome recipes from your market finds with the same love as those who till the land. If you are time-crunched, look for recipes with the FAST icon (preps in 30 minutes or less), or if you want to go meatless, look for the VEG icon. Grab a basket and visit your local farm stands--there's so much deliciousness in store!
Food From the Heart
THANK YOU, FARMERS
GATHER IN THE KITCHEN • This special room is the place to bond over life’s most simple, delicious moments. Invite loved ones to mingle and linger over casual fare while you prepare your market finds.
RELAX ON THE PORCH • Take a much-needed breather after your farmers market run to share delicious refreshments with those close to you. Maybe a friendly neighbor will drop in to say hello.
TAKE IT OUTSIDE • Make the most of abundant seasonal produce by enjoying it where it grew. Create precious memories in the fresh open air with colorful, nature-inspired eats and grilled dishes to share.
DINNER IN THE DINING ROOM • You don’t need a big occasion to host a special dinner. Any time is a good time to celebrate the earth’s bounty. So gather your favorite people together and toast to nature’s best ingredients.
DESSERTS TO SHARE • There’s no greater joy than sharing the fruits of your labor with others. Enclose your market find in buttery pastry, crumble nuts over it or use it to top a glorious cake. Bake up sweet magic!
