Hydrangeas, Local Peaches & Fresh Peas

The bargain of the day is fresh-cut hydrangeas - only .50 a stem! So, for only a few $ you can bring home a summertime bouquet. We also have Chilton County Peaches (yum), local yellow squash, local pattypan squash, Florida Ruskin tomatoes, and Silver Queen Corn. And then, there are the creamer peas and butterbeans. Gotta love summertime!

Another fun thing to try: Make your own vanilla extract. We now have vanilla beans, and this is so easy. Begin with a pint of brandy. Take 3 -4 vanilla beans, and slice them open lengthwise. Add them to the brandy and let is sit for about 3 weeks. Then, when a recipe calls for vanilla extract, use your home-brewed flavoring instead. It really is incredible!

  1. If you have a great recipe for tomato pie, send it along on our blog and we'll share it with everyone. We would like to compile a collection of good food recipes over the summer, and make them readily available for all to enjoy. Thanks!!
