VanPelt's Today

VanPelt's Farm Market
We made a trip out to Lisbon, Ohio today and zipped over to VanPelt's Farm Market on the return home.  The one "must have" item on the LFLF list today was garlic, and look what was on the sign!   They also had a couple of specialty items that you don't usually see at local markets around here.
The first one was okra .... and then nearby, they also had a bag of shelled lima beans.

Another rarely seen item ... ground cherries.  About the only time we see ground cherries are as entries at the county fairs!
VanPelt's Farm Market - Yellow Ground Cherries & Other Fruits! 
There were tomatoes by the bushel for canning out front and these cherry & grape tomatoes too. 
VanPelt's Farm Market - Potatoes, Tomatoes, & Sweet Potatoes
LFLF bought sweet corn, nectarines, baked granola cereal, oatmeal raisin cookies, and garlic, of course!   Can't even list the variety of what we didn't buy ... :) 
Local honey rounds out the pictures for today.

This farm market is well worth making a stop if you're nearby.  They also have refrigerated cases of local Amish country meats, cheeses, milk, eggs, butter, as well as a full line of baked goods!
