Fruit, Produce And Customers Abound At Huntley Market

Fresh sweet corn and just-picked apples featured at Saturday's Huntley Farmers' Market.  Apples?  Well, with last month's extreme heat it's been an unusual year.  "Everything's about a month ahead (of schedule)," remarked one grower.

Saturday's edition included a home-cooking demo sourced entirely from market produce.  Next Saturday's will feature a Garden Salsa competition.  Registration will be from 10 to 10:30 am. Judging for hot, medium and mile salsas homemade by each participant (with written recipe) will follow immediately.  An entry form is here: http://www.huntley.il.us/documents/GardenSalsaEntryForm2012.pdf
