Melon Season!

It's my husband's favorite time of year, melon season!  This week we got my favorite, orange watermelons, not to mention delicious little French cantalopes that are perfect for lunch; I just pop one into my lunch bag with a spoon.  There's plenty to choose from at the market at this time of year and Ochoa Produce offers fresh, flavorful varieties of watermelons, cantaloupes, casaba melons, tomatoes (many sizes and colors), squash (from zucchini to patty pan), cucumbers (salad, pickling, green and yellow), beans (many varieties), onions, greens, herbs... and I'm sure I've missed some things! 

Check back next week for pictures of Hilo's wonderful bounty.  I hope you're enjoying your summer.

Flowers, Onions, Salad, Greens and Herbs

I didn't realize how much I'd missed Ochoa Produce until I pulled up and saw the beautiful array of flowers in pots and flats and spied my very favorite onions on the table!  I bought a bag of mixed salad greens and two heads of red-leaf lettuce as well.  Unfortunately I forgot my camera, but I'll be sure to bring it along next week so you can see the early bounty.

It's been a cold, late spring that's even got the trees blooming a couple of weeks late, so look for an increasing variety of produce as the plants catch up.

The Market Begins This Sunday

After a cold, wet spring, the Eastern Orange Farmer's Market will begin for the season this Sunday, May 4th.  I can't wait to see what fresh delights are in store!

Spring has sprung!

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the beginning of Farmer's Market season!  Ochoa Produce will be returning this year and I look forward to seeing what spring treats and seedlings they have to offer.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.
