We have many farmers markets in our city but my all time favorite in the downtown one. It is every Saturday from 7am to 1pm. I have never gotten there at 7am and probably never will~Just look at the amazing produce I picked up last Saturday. The peaches didn't last through Sunday breakfast. I truly think my 4 year old thinks they are candy. Which is fine with me because he is my picky, picky eater. I''m happy if we can make a day without cookies. So if he loves peaches than I will be buying double next Saturday!
And just look at the size of these green beans one bean would be a serving!
Is there really anything better than fresh yummy tomatoes?
My sister-in-law's family live up in Ripley, Tennessee and if you have never heard of Ripley tomatoes well then you have never lived or visited the south for very long. I am hoping to score a huge box of tomatoes from her family's farm to can this year.
And these, these are the best butter roll ever.

We had them with our homemade blueberry jelly and the next day with homemade blackberry jelly and tonight we had they lightly toasted with .........butter. They went perfect with my meatloaf, twice baked potatoes, sauteed onions and yellow squash & fresh green beans. I really think they would pair wonderfully with anything sweet or savory.

The small pink tomatoes are from Whitton Farms http://www.whittonfarms.com/
They also just opened a little eatery in Memphis called:
The Trolley Stop Market
"The Trolley Stop Market serves breakfast & lunch, and our menu will feature farmers and food artisans from across the MidSouth."
My goal tomorrow is to make it down there for lunch, I have been drooling weekly reading their daily menus on their facebook page.
And the huge yellow tomatoes are from another vendor at the farmers market.
Our local growers and bakers are wonderful people. Growing some of the finest produce & flowers, raising the best animals for meat, and baking the best baked goods around.
And these, these are the best butter roll ever.
