Red Corn, Corn Bread was delicious. Have bought it Gluten Free in the past. If you want it gluten free, please call ahead of time to make sure they are making it gluten free, otherwise, it will be a regular red corn, corn bread.
This time of the year, peaches, and berries. so you will find plenty of pies….making it easier to entertain all those summer guests.
Flat Breads for an easy lunch or early dinner. Add a salad and you have a meal.
Their version of a pop tart is called toasted pastries.
Lately, my favorite pick has been the Ancient Grain Bread.
Buy all things local!! Have a great day.

Definitely, farmers markets are not just for chefs anymore. In come the foodies who have a very discriminating palate. Nothing but the best for them. Getting up close and personal, the farmers love to show off their produce, so please ask questions!!
My friend, Cindi, drove all the way from Ocean City, Maryland, and Brenda Jones is a local. You will find Brenda at the Historic Lewes Farmers Market most every Saturday in the a.m. The market opens at 8 a.m. until Noon.
Historic Lewes Farmers Market is celebrating 10 years in the community. During the summer season, you can find the market at the Lewes Historical Society Complex, located between Second & Third Streets at Shipcarpenter St. Please note that on August 1st the market will take place at Shields Elementary School Parking Lot at 910 Shields St. Fall hours will be 10/3 – 11/21 from 9 a.m. until Noon at Shields Elementary Parking Lot. No pets are allowed, so leave Fido at home for a few hours. Please visit the website at http://www.historiclewesmarket.org.
The white tents are scattered throughtout the Historical Complex, a beautiful place to be on Saturday morning. To find out the vendors that come to this market, please visit http://www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org/market-vendors.
Celebrate Summer’s Bounty by Growing Local, Buying Local and Eating Local!!
Please open the Historic Lewes Farmers Market website to get some of their delicious recipes…http://www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org/recipes.
Markets are rising in popularity because consumers can get fresh produce directly from the farm. The pick of the day, shall we say.
Learning about ground cherries. Had not seen them before. They have a papery husk, which encloses the small fruit. The fruit is small and orange. Ground cherries are part of the same family as the tomatillos. They are good in pies and they are also good with salsa and in a salad.
Never too early to start your day with fresh shucked oysters!!
Beautiful mushrooms!!
Peach Season and Bennett’s tent was full of beautiful peaches. The long line of customers waited patiently but the line went fast.

Nothing better than a cup of coffe early in the morning with fresh baked bread. I remember years ago when my grandmother in Puerto Rico would always invite her neighbors for a cup a coffee and bread in the afternoons. It was a routine.
Stopping at Old World Breads reminded me of that so long ago. Old World Breads are making a statement at the Delaware Beaches and beyond. They are located at 32191 Nassau Rd., Unit 4, Lewes, DE 19958 Tel. 302-313-5191 Website? http://www.oldworldbreads.com.

Arriving at Old World Breads….we were not the only ones taking the bakery in. Gorgeous breads, delicious aroma.
The croissants were ready to go…and they were. Local jams and jellies, the perfect addition to any baked goods.
 
Tons of local peaches peeled for just out of the oven peach pies.
Plum pies made with Frangipane. This is a pastry cream used in baking desserts, sweets, cakes and pancakes. It is made with milk, sugar, flour, eggs, and butter, mixed with crushed macaroons or ground almonds. It gives the baked goods a special taste.
And last but not least we took home some flat breads. Surprise, surprise…a little kick to get those tastebuds going.

I have bought corn everywhere, here, at the beaches, and don’t get me wrong, it has all been pretty good. But, it is only when I buy it from Freeman’s that I really fall in love with it, time and time again.
Last summer I mentioned that I have even sent this corn to Puerto Rico; a small fortune but worth it since they do not have this type of corn there.
Freeman’s corn is located on the road that is parallel to Rt. 1. That road is 1D but it is also called Plantations Rd. He is at the corner of Robinsonville and Plantations Rds.
You cannot miss Freeman’s Corn since you will see plenty of cars stopping starting at about 11:00 a.m. It is a family operated business. The orange bins will be filled with other produce, as well.
But, their haywagon truck holds the most important bins; that beautiful corn; clean, kept cool, and no blemishes.
Friendly and cordial making chit chat with their customers; that’s what I like so much. The older man that has been there for years asked me if I was sending corn this year to PR. Not sure yet, was my answer, since the person that loved it the most is no longer there.
One vegetable that attracted my attention yesterday was the white eggplant. I had never seen it. It was beautiful.
Apparently eggplants got their name because they used to come in only one color; white. Hanging from the plant they looked like eggs.
The original white eggplant is now very trendy; smaller than the purple, supposedly, more tender. The skin is tougher and must be peeled. They are available seasonally.
Freeman’s corn is also at the Farmers Markets every week in Lewes at the Lewes Historical Society Complex on 110 Shipcarpenters St., on Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon and on Tuesdays at the Rehoboth Farmers Market located at Grove Park by the round about, behind the Chamber of Commerce, from noon until 4 p.m. These markets are held rain or shine.
So what can I say about Freeman’s corn that I have not said? Well boil, bake it, grill it and really enjoy it this summer. It looks like a great crop.
Talk to you later…
