M'Peaches, like M'Cookies.

After Saturday’s pickup, all I’m left thinking of is millions of peaches, peaches for me. Some people just want to have fun, by movin’ to the country and eating a lot of peaches. All you need is peaches. Peaches are all you need; because everyone knows that love is a warm peach.

Peaches are the fruit of the trees. You can barbeque ’em, broil ‘em, bake ’em, saute ’em. Dey’s uh, peach kabobs, peach gazpacho, peach pie. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. Of course, cinnamon is authorized, so kick it up a notch. BAM! Did you know that peaches are a great source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C? Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it. However, you can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.

Well, we’ve got those people covered as well!

If you’re looking for fruit, Hardin Farm has taken a short hiatus but will be back next week with some late melons (and peas!). In the meantime, Willow Springs has some amazing early apples *that must be tasted. If you are looking to spice things up, New South has some very intriguing *Fish Peppers, Arkansas Natural Produce has the multipurpose Pablanos, and Crimmins has kickin’ Cayennes. Personally, I feel McSwain’s lamb chops calling my name, but I believe that the wife has already planned a special Farm Girl Poulet Libre dinner this week. Thankfully, I can always throw the chops in the freezer for a rainy day.

It is the dog days of summer and with all this heat, you might not want to heat up the house. But you have to eat. Luckily, we have all the lettuce, zucchini, squash, and accouterments necessary for incredible salads and plenty of frozen berries for smoothies.

The Market. is open! So let them eat cake veggies!
