Peaches are here!
It's my favorite part of summer and the guy manning the Rolling Hills booth said I'm not the only one who is crazy for local peaches. He's new at the booth and said he was surprised by how eager customers were, although he was quick to point out that peaches picked when truly ripe and delivered to customers really are miles better. The variety available today was Redstar.
I'll report back later on whether they are as wonderful as Red Haven, my all-time favorite.

The sun is finally shining on the Talent evening market. That makes it perfect weather for local ice cream, featured in today's Ala Carte section of the Mail Tribune.

If you're interested in local eating and what's going on in Southern Oregon (as well as around the country) you might enjoy the local dish! www.thelocaldish.com

What's for lunch? Last week's Word of Mouth review in Tempo recommended eating at the Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Market. (Yes, I wrote the review, so, of course, I think it has great advice. I did forget to include how awesome Roxy Ann Bakery's eclairs are, even though Sarah Lemon reminded me. Please consider them recommended, too.)

Another new market opened today, according to this Mail Tribune story. I haven't been to the Phoenix Community Artisans & Gardeners Market, yet, but in the story, the manager Shona Stargill promises that it will offer mostly organic farm and ranch produce.

Striving to be open when people are off work, the market will be open from noon to 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays in a large field beside Jack's Board Shop, just south of the center of Phoenix.

Anybody here check it out yet? Give us a report.

It was an absolutely beautiful day at the market in Medford. While I and plenty of others were buying up tomato plants, Dave Nance already has ripe tomatoes from his Grants Pass greenhouses. You have to get there early to score one of his ruby red beauties.

Another market find -- a new face for pasta. Sherry's Pasta was sold out when I got there, so I'd love to hear from anyone who bought some.
