    Be on the lookout for the Summer 2013 issue of Edible Boston with this fresh seasonal cover of shrimp from SKy8 Shrimp Farm. 

    Farmers' Market Listings by County

    This issue contains listings of the summer farmers' markets by county. I know I'll be clipping and posting those pages on my refrigerator to check when I'm going to be in a specific neighborhood or town. I love visiting all the different markets in our area.

    How do you support a publisher like Ilene Bezahler and her remarkably talented team?

    May I suggest that you let their sponsors know you saw them in the magazine and grab an extra copy and get it to someone else who cares about supporting the local food movement. Also, if you have a blog, twitter account, or facebook page, write about them, link to them, follow them, retweet their tweets, like them on Facebook, and in general, spread the word about this great asset to our community.

    And, to be sure you never miss an issue, you can subscribe over on their website!

    You can also buy the Edible cookbook – Edible: A Celebration of Local Foods or find more local food in The Boston Homegrown Cookbook.

  • Edible Boston Spring 2013 Issue Has Arrived!

    Ediblespring - Version 22013-02-27edible-Boston-spring-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    When my preview copy of Edible Boston arrives, it goes to the top of my reading file. Not only because I want to read about all the local food news and meet some of the people who supply the food I love, but also because I want to look at it. As always, this month's cover is another stunning photo by Michael Piazza.

    I often smile and nod as I read Publisher/Editor, Ilene Bezahler's letter from the editor. This month, it was her comment on her gratitude to those who have made winter farmers' markets a part of our long dull winter and again when she wrote about cooking more meals at home. I've been doing that too!

    This edition, the incredible Edible Boston team and their readers have given you the information you need to become a master of lamb. Writer Elizabeth Gawthrop Riely takes you to Springdell Farm in Littleton, MA and then gives you a primer on lamb, its history, recipes, and talks about the increasing interest in this red meat. A second article provides more lamb recipes from Edible readers who entered their favorites in a recent recipe contest. 

    (I never got around to entering, but here is my favorite lamb recipe: Lamb Shanks Braised in Chipotle-Coffee Sauce.)

    Of course, there is much more to read in the issue from a tour of the Medford food scene to a piece on growing those beautiful mushrooms on the cover. Here's where you can pick up a copy.

  • Winter Farmers’ Markets 2012 – 2013

    With the summer farmers’ market season coming to a close Thanksgiving week, it’s time to spread the word on winter markets. Today's Friday Link will take you to farmers' markets around the area.

    DSC_0086 - Version 22012-11-11-Coolidge Corner Arcade-brokline winter market-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    A few, like the Brookline Winter Farmers' Market, have opened in time to add local flavor to your Thanksgiving menu. Here's our full report on the Brookline Winter Market from earlier this week. 

    The team over at Mass Farmers’ Markets says, “Turns out they are opening up all over the state! We are expecting more than 30 of them to crop up this winter; to find out if there is a Winter Market opening up near you visit our website [www.massfarmersmarkets.org], click on the FIND tab and type the word "WINTER' in the 'name of market' field.” They are adding new information as market details are submitted.

    Here are some Boston area dates & locations:

    Brookline Winter Farmers’ Market, Sundays, Noon – 5pm, (Nov 4 – Early June) at The Arcade, Coolidge Corner, 318 Harvard St., Brookline

    Egleston Farmers’ Market, Some Saturdays, 11am – 2pm, (Nov 10 – Feb 23) 45 Brookside Ave., Jamaica Plain (Details on dates at www.eglestonfarmersmarket.org)

    Newton Highlands Winter Farmers' Market, Tuesdays, 1:30pm – 6:00pm, (Nov 13 – June 25)

    A Destination Market in Wayland

    We've included the Wayland Market in this list because this is a wonderful destination market. 

    When father frost has us in his icy grip, the Wayland Winter Market at Russell’s Garden Center is a trip to the tropics. Russell’s lush greenhouses are turned into a festival of food vendors. They not only sell products for you to enjoy at home, but also host a food court where you can enjoy breakfast or lunch in the greenhouse.

    Wayland Winter Farmers' Market’s “Massachusetts Farm Wineries Day”

    This market supports all aspects of local food production. In addition to having local wine and cheese producers on their regular vendor list, they hold special events for them. The annual Massachusetts Farm Wineries Day will be held on January 26. This year, the Russell’s team has added a Farm Cheese Day on March 2nd. These are opportunities to sample, purchase, and support these value-added products from area farms.

    Update: Over on Chowhound I learned about the  Medford Winter Farmers' Market on Thursdays from 3 pm to 7pm at Hyatt Place in Medford Square.
