On My Plate: Downing Fruit Farm Fall Festival
Visitors can walk or ride in a horse-drawn carriage amid the farm’s 2,500 fruit trees.
On My Plate: Apple Varieties
From Golden Delicious to Monroe apples, fall arrives early this year.
On My Plate: Pears
Not only are pears scarce here, production across the United States has declined by more than one-third in the past decade.
On My Plate: Peppers
I recently found five colors of sweet or bell peppers in the Farmers Market: red, yellow, purple, orange and green.
On My Plate: Chicken
I rarely bother to read chicken recipes, let alone follow them. However, I recently followed a chicken breast recipe, with excellent results.
On My Plate: Tomatoes
I usually toss the farmers market tomatoes in my shopping bag and lose track of the grower and variety. Last Saturday, I selected five varieties of tomatoes and carefully placed them in individual bags with the name of the grower and variety.
