Tis the season for corn, and we couldn't be happier. We like to eat sweet summer corn raw and straight off the cob. But, if you're gonna cook with corn be sure to quick it quickly as it doesn't need much. (Also, we shared this video last year, but thought it was worth sharing again. Check out this super cool trick for shucking a single ear of corn - via the microwave!) And see Corn Pancakes (From Martha Stewart) Whisk together in bowl: ½ c. flour ¾ t. salt 1 egg 1/3

Many of them were little more than shredded cardboard full of sub-standard ingredients. It was then that we decided to start making our own dog food using people grade, sustainable ingredients. I’ll admit that it is a big commitm

One of my favorite Fall indulgences is apple butter. Not the thin, watery commercial stuff but the thick, spicy kind that you make at home. My grandmother used to make hers in a roasting pan in the oven, but the crock pot has changed modern day apple butter production. The crock pot allows you to assemble your apple butter and forget about it for 12 hours. You can start it before you go to bed, or before you go to work. Almost any apple variety will work for this recipe altho

Did you know that the market has a kids club? The Market Sprouts Kids Club mission is to inspire children (ages 4-12) to take part in their local food system, enjoy eating nutritious food and to empower them to make healthy choices.

It is officially time to plant your tomato starts so we need to have “the” talk - determinate vs. indeterminate tomatoes. There are a lot of exciting and delicious tomato varieties available in the market – Black Prince, Green Zebra, Sun Gold, Brandywine… it is easy to get caught up in all of the tasty choices and forget to pay attention to whether you are buying a determinate or indeterminate variety. This matters because it determines how and where you plant your tomato. D
