With the kids back in school and leaves changing colors, it’s easy to forget the our local farmers’ markets still offer a wealth of ripe, luscious, late season produce. Get your weekend latte to go and head over to the market for bags of plums, lemon cucumbers, and a colorful array of just-plucked cherry tomatoes. Sweet as candy and wonderfully versatile, these juicy gems can be tossed in salads, packed in children’s lunchboxes, or eaten straight out of the carton.
