Jersey fresh*
Here in the most densely populated county of the nations's most densely populated state, we don't have a lot of room to grow vegetables. Fortunately for a few delicious weeks each summer, the farmers and their harvest come to us for the Tuesday afternoon Farmer's Market. They may be far outnumbered by us city dwellers, but New Jersey's farmers produce so much food that we actually export some.
They say New Jersey produces more than 100 kinds of fruits and vegetables, and I'd say most of them were represented at today's market. I only bought two kinds: green beans and potatoes.
*When the New Jersey Department of Agriculture uses this term, it's "Jersey Fresh."
