What's a farmer to do then to showcase our abundant crops? So that's what Laurie did on Wednesday for Livingston's Farmers Market. She slaved over the stove all day making nearly a dozen zucchini bread loafs, a couple of pie-sized chard quiches and zucchini chocolate cake that Sara and I could use to market all the chard and zucs.
It goes without saying but I'll say it anyway: they were delicious.
And they were a big hit among the market goers. They devoured our samples. Just about every person who had a bite of the chard quiche asked if they could buy a piece and were so disappointed when we told them they could buy our chard and make it themselves.
Nevertheless, the samples got some of our chard and zucs off the shelf. The geode zuc's (they look like little pumpkins) were a big hit when we explained how Laurie had been cutting off the top, coring out the middle, stuffing and baking them.
For the next couple of weeks (or months), we'll have to come up with lots of creative ways to sell zucs and our soon to be booming tomatoes.
