Julia Child once said, "You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients". Even as late summer begins its seasonal transition into early
fall, North Carolina farmers markets still have plenty of "fresh ingredients for good food"! Summer favorites like tomatoes and peppers continue to hold court on market tables well into fall and cool weather favorites like collards, turnips, mustard greens and onions become increasingly abundant. Crisp pears and apples replace sweet peaches and juicy berries. The old Southern favorite, the muscadine grape, makes a brief appearance in September. Last but not least, the sweet potato begins a long harvest period and will be available for months to come.
