Some fantastic fruit at the farmers market the last few weeks:

Weiser Family Farms


Persian Mulberries:

Thanks to the FTC’er who recommended these last year, for this year’s Mulberry season (now), we remembered to ask Weiser Family Farms about their Mulberries! :slight_smile: They keep them hidden (in an ice cooler).

They were fragrant, sweet-tart (some were a little more tart than sweet), but quite tasty. :slight_smile:

Sugar Queen Melon:

Beautiful aroma before you even cut into it. Weiser’s Sugar Queen wasn’t overly sweet this year (at least for this melon), but it has a beautiful Honeydew-like sweetness (not Cantaloupe even though it might look like one). Lovely when served chilled last week. :blush:

Tenerelli Orchards


The maestros of great Peaches every year (don’t miss out on their varieties of White Peaches!), they had some amazing Persian Mulberries last year, and they are now in season again this Summer. We couldn’t wait to see how they might taste this year.

Persian Mulberries:

To use a @J_L phrase, seriously, like candy! :blush: The intoxicating aroma, Berry-like, floral, and ridiculously sweet! Not saccharine, but they were so amazing and sweet that we seriously had a small Salad (with The Garden Of…'s awesome Organic Lettuces) of just Lettuces and Tenerelli Orchard’s Persian Mulberries.

That’s it. :open_mouth:

They had enough sweetness and aroma that we didn’t even need dressing. A bit pricey, but give them a try if you get a chance. So good! :heart:
