So armed with our canvas bag we hit up the Belmont Farmer's Market to see what we could find. Now don't get me wrong i love the sweet strawberries and bright raspberries and sweet peaches in the summer months but I feel like the dark kale and rainbow chard and crunchy heirloom apples feel more quintessentially New England to me.
A bunch of interesting shaped gourds and pumpkins.
A whole passel of heirloom tomatoes.
Boxes of crisp apples: Cortland, Macoun and Empire.
And one of my personal favorites, Swiss chard. Not only because it is tasty but look at the colors!
And of course mr. Oliver needed a snack, a Anjou pear seemed to fit the bill nicely.
