This week we bought five watermelons and a couple of small melons, as well as lots of wonderful veggies and our usual six chocolate chip cookies. This week's new discovery was golden marconi peppers, which are awesome in a stir fry! I added some of Hilo's onions and my family loved it.

A wonderful variety, as always, whether you're looking for something tasty, something beautiful, or something that serves both purposes. We've had such a variety of melons that I froze some of it and made fruit drinks that are so flavorful and complex that I had to share with my Farmer's Market friends.

Here's a fruit drink recipe that I posted last year:

Cantaloupe-Peach Smoothie (printable)

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
  • 1/2 ripe cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, cut into chunks, and frozen

  • 1 peach, pitted, cut into chunks, and frozen

  • 1 cup fruit juice

  • 1 cup vanilla fat-free yogurt

Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Makes about 4 cups.

Every week samples of Ochoa Produce's delicious melons and peaches are available, so you know what you're getting before you purchase.

July 3, 2011 - Let Melon Season Commence!

This week's market was wonderful! I probably say that too often here, but that doesn't make it any less true! Due to time constraints I'm going to try something new, putting the photos from this week's market in a slideshow instead of showing them individually. Hopefully it'll work smoothly and you'll be able to see all of the wonderful produce, fruit, herbs, plants, canned goods, and baked goods that were offered this week. I'd love it if you would leave a comment and let me know what you think of the slideshow compared to showing the photos individually.
