We’re back and it is high summer! This week we give thanks for snappy green beans, tender peaches, tart cherries, shy foraged chanterelles, meltingly juicy melons, and the garlic harvest — always a bittersweet harbinger of summer’s close.

But for now, let’s just enjoy the bounty, and not worry about the chilly days to come, yes?

NO MACRO MAMAS at this Saturday Market, July 20, 2019

Hey guys! Forgive us for the late notice, but you see — we are on vacation! Macro Mamas will NOT be at the market this Saturday — that’s tomorrow, if you’re paying attention. Instead, we are enjoying high summer — tending our gardens, dancing at the festival, skipping town altogether: the Macro Mamas are on vacation, as a result we will not be cooking for you this Saturday. We’ll miss you! See you next week!
