Growing up in Cyprus, we always ate what was in season. I remember how sweet the first cherries used to taste when they came out, the first walnuts with their creamy center. I can still taste the peppery flavor of our own olive oil live brought home from the mill. These were special occasion still vivid in my mind.
That's why when a group of us got together to found the Ringwood Farmer's market I was all in. Today, six years later, the market is going strong. I can't wait for the summer market to open so I can shop every week, discovering all the products that are making it to market in season. There's a monthly winter market that keeps us going through those cold northern winters.
Our vendors are all exceptional and I have a special relationship with them. Here's a glimpse at the Farmer's market at just a few of the wonderful stalls.

These are only a few of the wonderful people who welcome us at the market each week. It's a feast for the eyes, the heart and the stomach!
Visit your neighborhood Farmer's Market!
Enjoy,
Maria
