Beautiful Beans!



These string beans were so delicious and so green and beautiful! Quickly blanched and dressed with a simple red wine vinaigrette with fresh garlic and lemon basil, yum! They came from Amawalk Farm, a new farm only 2 minutes from my home, it's their second growing season and their first open to the public. They have the most amazing pick-your-own raspberries.....big, beautiful and so sweet! Also heirloom tomatoes, squash, garlic and in the Fall they'll have pumpkins. More and more local farms are popping up as people begin to awaken from the dream of fast, processed, industrial, world traveled food. This makes me smile.......local matters.
