Harvard Farmers Market

Saturday May 15^th in Provincetown, MA, the farmer’s market opened for another season.  Several years into this venture, townsfolk and tourists alike enjoy morning strolls along the harbor street near the town hall where fresh veggies are offered from farms such as Lucky Field Organics (Rochester, MA) and Silverbrook Farm (Dartmouth, MA).  Samples of sumptuous oils from Olio di Melli (Westport, MA) entice as do strawberry jams and chutney preserves from other stalls where chatty vendors detail their cultivating, pruning, and harvesting methods.  The scent of fresh herbs rise from an adorable stand with hand-decorated sign ‘Thyme After Thyme’, and once again I am reminded of the dedication and attention that keep the whole in whole foods, the quality in final products, and the fresh in items that are grown short distances away.  If you visit the Outer Cape this summer, don’t miss this seascape delight of hand-grown, home grown.
