Lovage Me Tender

One of the best farmers market signs I've seen in a long time #quince

Perfect little persimmons at the Marin market this morning. As I was filling my bag a little boy came up and took a the bite out of one. Exactly what I was thinking. #persimmons #vegetabletravels #sanfrancisco

This is the farmers market where I discovered myself 8 years ago. It's always a pleasure to return #ferrybuilding #sanfrancisco #vegetabletravels #buddhashand #citrus @cuesa (at Ferry Plaza Farmers Market San Fran)

A souvenir from my trip to the wholesale produce market in San Francisco. I have THE BEST JOB. #artichoke #vegetabletravels #sanfrancisco

Trying to imitate @onedishcloser's amazing #seasonalfruitbowl. It's much harder than it looks.

Wha bam!! Tardivo from the super talented duo @camporossofarm. (at Union Square Greenmarket)

I'm always hypnotized by tat soi. #winter #greens #Vermont @tamarackhollowfarm (at Union Square Greenmarket)

Sleep tight and have sweet dreams of these tiny Brussels sprouts.

There's nothing more elegant than a bunch of leeks. @tamarackhollowfarm has some stunning specimens

The latest vegetable fad: kale sprouts, a kind of weird cross between kale and Brussels sprouts. I love veggie fads because it means that farmers markets are hip enough to have fads. (at Dupont Circle Farmers Market)

Fresh chickpeas spotted early this AM at Hunts Point (at Hunts Point Produce Market)

Another great pie from @pizzacamp (at Pizzeria Beddia)

Snagged some @sunnoodles at the coop and decked them out with all kinds of Greenmarket veg, including @tamarackhollowfarm cabbage and @camporossofarm squash #dinnerwin #ramen

The gorgeous heart of a head of heirloom bull's heart cabbage from @tamarackhollowfarm

When it comes to storage radishes, the watermelon radish gets all the glory. But the green meat has a juicy texture and a better sweet-spicy radish flavor. And the grass green color ain't bad either. @tamarackhollowfarm #radishes (at Union Square Greenmarket)

Lately I've been obsessed with improbable fruits and vegetables. Who was the person that bit into a raw quince and saw the possibility? (at Union Square Greenmarket)
