Summer foods at Rocklands

June 16, 2015 by Bishop Snedden

We love summer. Yup, it’s a great time for barbeque…and it’s also a great time for local produce. Corn. Carrots. Beans. Greens.

This chilly spring meant a slower start to summer’s bounty, but we’re in the swing now. Our summer corn salad is back, to enchant your stomach alongside a chopped pork sandwich. Arugula and blueberries salad may soon become arugula and strawberries — either one is pretty, tangy and sweet. And our chickpea salad is great for summer picnics (no wilting or fading in this heat).

Add the news that Farmer Byron is starting his Community Supported Agriculture drop-offs at all Rocklands locations this week, and we’re feeling pretty fresh-veggie summery. You?
