We were in upstate NY this weekend for my father's celebration of life service, and I popped into a little unmanned farmstand to see what was available.
Cukes were 4/$1 and blueberries were $3/pint. I also snagged a bag of dragon beans for $3 and a bunch of large patty pan squash for 2/$1. I did not buy any summer squash because I didn't know if it was GMO (it's a common GMO item).
Using a combination of items from my CSA, from a little farmstand in upstate NY, our garden, and a couple of items from the store, I came up with this:
Store items:
Organic carrots: $.65
Organic dill: $2.99 (I used all of it, but I went a bit overboard!)
CSA items:
2 heads garlic
Garden items:
2 red peppers
Farmstand:
Cucumbers: $2
Beans: $3 (didn't use them all)
Miscellaneous items:
Sea salt
Peppercorns
Not too bad for under $10!
We didn't try to grow much in our garden this season, but I'll be doing a jar of pickles from our garden as well soon! That's if Chuckie the pilferer doesn't get them first! He seems more interested in tomatoes.
Have you been fermenting this season?
