Change of season is always an exciting time for me. I love seeing "new" fruit and vegetables. I know it happens every year, but somehow, it seems new to me everytime. I know apples and pears come in the fall, but each year, when August rolls around, I can't help but be on the look out for them.
There are still plenty of local stone fruit and strawberries around, thanks to our wonderful California weather. For the next few weeks, you will see some transition between summer and fall. Peaches, plum/pluots, figs, Gravenstein apples, French Butter pears, and hopefully, huckleberries are expected to make appearance at our market tables.
I was happy to see local apples cropping up today at Monterey Market. I picked up a few, quite a few, Galas from Gregory Farm for this week's galettes. They grow their fruit without any pesticide, no spray and, basically, organically. I also picked up some organic yellow peaches from Twin Girl farm, Dapple Fire Pluots from Kashiwase farm, and small organic strawberries from Mien farm.
Market line up this week:
Galettes: Gala apple, Peach, Pluot-Strawberry
Macarons: Strawberry (new flavor), Banana with salted caramel (new flavor), Mocha, Vanilla
Cupcakes: Red Velvet with Vanilla buttercream, Lemon with Caramel buttercream
