It’s that time of year again, friends! Farmers Markets across New England are finally opening this month, encouraging us pale, undernourished customers to flock towards the tents to purchase their offerings. Sure, this early in the season, most of the farmers really only have lettuce and other greens to sell, but nonetheless, it is enough

Spring has sprung.  It was a glorious morning as I set out for the east bay to check out the Berkeley Farmer’s Market. The air was crisp and heavily scented with jasmine and cherry blossoms.  *sigh*  I love spring mornings… I decided to head across the bridge to the other side of the bay to

While I make coffee in the morning, I like to open our kitchen door to let in the warmth of the sun or the coolness of the winter rain. Today, I could smell the remaining footprints of our last winter rains mixed with the scent of springtime jasmine. After two days of icy cold rains,

I moved to the north shores of Massachusetts almost four years ago when my husband took a job at Green Meadows Farm in Hamilton, Massachusetts. I had been living in Somerville, Massachusetts, which I loved, and was a bit anxious about moving to the suburbs. I was amazed at how quickly we were integrated into

I miss Summer. I know I’m not the only one. But while others miss the beach and icy margaritas, I miss visiting the farmers’ market each week. Last year was the first time I signed up for a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Each Monday,

One of our foodie goals for 2010 is to have a better idea of where our food originates. We are about 85% there. In the same breathe, we’d like to make sure that we’re eating as local as possible, plus or minus those guilty pleasures (French wine and cheese, of course). In order to make

Photos by Paul Cary Goldberg One of my favorite things about winter is getting to see more of my farmer friends (and farmer husband). As the fields are put to bed for the winter, there is more time to plan for the future, see friends and family, and create delicious meals. This week, I invited

Design is such a priority overseas, especially when it pertains to food. I wanted to share the cutest little cafe/deli that has several outposts in Finland. I can’t understand anything on the actual Website for the Sis Deli + Cafe, but Remodelista did a little write-up to share the details of their interior design and

My dearest friend and contributing photographer to this site, Lise Pellegrin, is on a year-long work-play holiday traveling the world. She spent much of this year living and working across Australia, and has spent the last few months traveling around Asia. For the last few weeks, she’s been headquartered in Kathmandu, Nepal and just shared

Farmer’s Market in Naples, Florida

by Maggie Battista

I really don’t love Florida. I love the warm weather, I love the ocean breezes, I really love the fresh citrus fruits. And Miami is kinda fun. But I’ve never really fit with the Florida vibe. Everything’s a little slower (aside from Miami) and I’m not a slow kinda gal. And I guess I’ve never

The Bounties of Portabello Market, London

by Maggie Battista

Saturdays are so lovely in London, especially when blue skies hang above, temperatures are mild and Portabello Road is in full swing. With a week of work behind us, several of us gals tubed our way over to Notting Hill for a great brunch at Electric Brasserie, and some very expensive shopping. I knew we

by maggie

Alice Waters, owner of legendary Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California and one of the earliest and strongest supporters of sustainable agriculture, has emerged in recent years to more and more press. Here she discusses how she works a farmer’s market, specifically the Union Square Farmer’s Market in Manhattan – a market I visited 2-3 days
