summer fruits and veg.

It never feels like summer has fully arrived until there are field tomatoes and peaches at the market. The tomatoes are gnarled and bulbous and leaking with ripeness; so ugly they’re beautiful. The peaches are like fuzzier, softer tennis balls; the perfect size for the palm of your hand.

On Sundays, there’s a new farmers’ market in town. If you’re in the neighborhood, Down to Earth markets has gathered a tiny group of farmers to sell their goods at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Fresh meats and veg to enjoy on the grill? Sounds like a perfect match to me.
