Statesville’s Evening Farmers Market will feature tomatoes and peppers on Thursday, July 22 from 4:00-6:30 pm. Now is the time to enjoy summer’s best offerings. Tomatoes are at the top of the list of favorite vegetables. Enjoy them fresh, cooked in recipes and preserved for winter. Harry Cogan, grower of heirloom tomatoes, says the tomatoes are fabulous this year. Talk to your grower about ordering a quantity to can or freeze. Peppers are ripening now too and make great additions to tomato dishes. Enjoy the many varieties raw, cooked, stuffed, hot or sweet. Risto’s Place Food & Spirits( formally Mayo’s Restaurant) located across from the market in historic Downtown Statesville will be serving samples of delicious tomato and pepper recipes.
The market is now at its peak of summer vegetables. Tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, beans, corn, eggplants and more are now abundant. Fresh fruits available now are peaches, apples, blueberries, plus fresh herbs & herb plants, flowers, handmade soaps and lotions, homemade-baked goods, eggs, goat cheese, homemade pet treats, and more.
