Willow Pond Farm’s lemon cucumbers. Lemon cucumbers don’t taste like lemons, they just resemble them. They taste like really nice, mild and sweet cucumbers. At the Portsmouth Farmers’ Market

I *heart* lacinato kale, also called dinosaur kale. It is dark green and more narrow than the other kinds of kale, and just has a flavor and texture that can’t be beat. This is Meadow’s Mirth kale, seen at the Exeter Farmers’ Market.

I love September, when you get everything awesome from summer along with fall food – watermelons are at their peak right now. These are Barker’s Farm watermelons, from the Portsmouth Farmers’ Market.
