Sunday July 17th at Rhinebeck Farmers' Market

Market Report:

Peaches are here!

This week we welcome Chatham Brewing to the market.

Here's a sneak peak at what they offer:

• O.C. Blonde:  Orange zest compliments the citrus notes of the Cascade hops and coriander.  Silver medal winner at the Great International Beer Festival.
• Maple Amber:  Distinctively sweet as this ale is made with a generous portion of real maple syrup from Columbia County.
• IPA:  Light in body, strong in flavor.  This beer gets its characteristic bitterness from a combination of Cascade and East Kent Goldings hops.
• Amber Ale:  A mahogany colored ale with a rich malt body and moderate hops.  Munich and chocolate malts add depth to this sessions beer.

The corn is sweet and delicious.

We're also seeing broccoli starting to show up.

If you haven't tried the sweet summer onions from Brittany Hollow Farm, you don't know what you've been missing.

They are a perfect and unexpected addition to any BBQ.

Slice them into thick rings crosswise and then run 2 skewers side by side through the middle to keep the rings in place. Brush with a little olive oil, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Place them on the grill for a couple of minutes on each side when your other grill items are almost ready.

You'll be amazed at how sweet and wonderful an onion can be.
