Field Day
Stay local to shop local
You can get the latest tech gadgets or even a dinner date with a few clicks of your mouse or swipes on your screen, so why not lush vegetables, ripe fruits or handmade cheeses produced by local farmers and artisans?
Enter Farmigo, a curated online marketplace for sustainable and locally sourced produce, meats and pantry goods from your favorite farmers' market vendors. Simply enter your zip code, find your community pickup hub (or create your own) and order all the fresh produce you desire.
Bonus: Tasting Table readers get 40 percent off their first order with code TastingTable.
Now that you're all stocked up, try these ideas for your next feast:
• Pack a hearty picnic: Whip up a warming mug of soup using fresh spinach, potatoes and leeks. For dessert, a few sweet Empire apples pair magnificently with some sunshine (browse the marketplace).
• Lay out a fresh vegetable spread: Grab a couple wheels of vegan cheese and the first crop of beefsteak tomatoes and basil, then slice and layer them up for a build-your-own caprese salad to share with your friends. Cap it off with a glass of freshly squeezed cherry juice (browse the marketplace).
How's that for fresh thinking?
