Rehoboth Farmers Market

Just got back from a visit to the new Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market in Grove Park (near the Chamber of Commerce on Rehoboth Avenue.)

The setting is really great - the park is shaded, there's a playground, public restrooms and free parking on several streets. People are so psyched to have this market in town. Consumers today want to know where their produce is coming from and how it's grown. Farmers are right on hand to answer all questions. The market is held every Tuesday from 3 to 6 p.m. (Go early - that's when the best pick of produce is available.) I picked up some amazing baby eggplants, super ripe tomatoes, corn, Lavendar Farms bug spray (all natural and it's supposed to keep away mosquitos) and some of the most fragrant peaches I have ever smelled, along with some local honey. I'm writing a story about this market for next Thursday's Home & Garden section. I'll keep you posted. OK, gotta go.. The corn I bought and boiled is ready.
