$35 to glory at Headhouse Square market
Photo l Felicia D'Ambrosio Feed your head There's no getting around the fact that local sustainable/organic produce costs more than the flavorless, nutrient-poor, shipped-from-Chile stuff in the supermarket. But that doesn't mean you can't afford to eat the grub your body loves -- check out my photogenic haul from Sunday's Headhouse Square farmers' market, above. $35 purchased the following: - Two quarts of ripe, ruby New Jersey strawberries; - One bunch local asparagus; - Two zucchini, all from from A.T. Buzby Farm - One bunch dinosaur (Tuscan) kale and one bunch baby Russian kale; - One big bunch French breakfast radishes, from Blooming Glen Farm (They're back! With tons of stuff!) - Giant pile of petite snow peas from Culton Organics (2 lbs.) - Another bunch of fresh-dug radishes, these from Queen's Farm (home of the epic oyster mushrooms) All this was $35 and will last two of us, plus the occasional drop-by friend in need of a snack, through the week. Headhouse is the only reason to get out of bed at 10 a.m. on Sunday. Get on it. Carolyn Posted 2010-05-18 13:10:09

Totally agree. I spent a little less on a quart of strawberries, a loaf of polenta bread, two types of cheese (one for $5 or two for $8 at Patches of Star, so ... natch), four apples, a head of lettuce, two gigantic tomatoes, and an overpriced yet delicious lemonade. Worth it.
