The ancient Celts basically had two seasons. Winter - the dark cold time - which began on Halloween or Samhain. Summer began on Beltain, or May Day, which began the season of the sun. So I like to look at today as the start of summer!
And what better way to celebrate the beginning of the sun shiny days than some lovely fresh veggies and fruit. My garden is just beginning, but luckily I know a source for great local produce, meats and baked goods - The Rutgers Farmers Market!
Today is the first day of the Rutgers Farm Market, and I've anxiously been awaiting their reopening. It's a delightful shopping experience, with knowledgeable people helping you narrow down your choices. They are open every Friday through the summer, from 1 until 6 pm. You can find them on Ryders Lane in East Brunswick at the entrance to the Rutgers Gardens.If this open air market is too far for you to travel, find a market near you. Farmers deserve our support, and we deserve the finest in local goods at the peak of their season.
Let the summer begin!
