Peaches

Clarkdale Fruit Farms has its first peaches of the season available - check them out at the Greenfield Farmers Market tomorrow. The farm stand should be open soon, too.

And speaking of local fruit, there are lots of berries in season right now, too. My husband and son just went down to Nourse Farms in Whately this morning and came home with strawberries (!), red raspberries, black raspberries, three kinds of currants, and two kinds of gooseberries. They had blueberries for picking and for sale as well - we didn't get any because our own bushes are still producing.

All this fruit is fantastic fresh, but we were also eager to get some more into the freezer for use in smoothies and popsicles, which we go through at quite a rate at this time of year.
