Today is a perfect day to come to the Beverly Farmers' Market. We will have beautiful summer produce from Farmer Dave, Eastern Farm of New England, The Food Project and Len from Wenham: beans, beets, butternut squash, carrots, corn, cucumbers, garlic, lettuce, onions, peppers, scallions, summer squash, tomatoes, and zucchini. Be sure to check out the fruit at Farmers Dave's stand; the pears are ripe now, blueberries will only be around for two more weeks, buy a bunch now and freeze them for a winter blues treat! There will also be cantelope, peaches, plums, nectarines, raspberries, and watermelon. Yum!
Local Honey is available at Eastern Farm of New England and The Food Project. The Food Project also brings local goat cheese from Valley View Farm in Topsfield. Try goat cheese, tomato, onion, and fresh basil on some bread from In Good Taste Bakery! A simple, Monday night Farmers' Market dinner! Don't forget wild flowers for your table.
Rowands Fish Market will no longer be joining us at the Farmers' Market, but you can still visit them at the market on the right just before the Salem Bridge. Be sure to let them know that you enjoyed seeing them at the Market!
Check out Beverly Farms Soapwerks today. They have a wide range of soaps available and a high level of customer service...they can find the perfect soap for anyone! We also have a new vendor to welcome: Thoughtwear Global from Beverly has some super cool t-shirts to offer.
Jonathan Rand from Midnight-Thirty will be performing at the Market today! There may be special guest appearances from the Rand Family Band.
There are two restaurants in Beverly that are now shopping at the Beverly Farmers' Market. Please, visit Sub Marinos Cafe and Rawbert's Organic Garden Cafe to taste the difference of food prepared using local produce!
Please remember that we accept WIC Coupons, Senior Coupons, and SNAP/Food Stamps. The Market is offering a 50% bonus for all purchases made using SNAP/Food Stamp benefits! Spread the word; this is a great way to buy super fresh, super local produce out in the sunshine!
Hope to see you down at the market, buying produce, listening to music, reading books, getting a massage, and enjoying Beverly in the sunshine! And a huge thank you to all of you who came out in the pouring rain last week!!! I wish I had a photo of the woman buying sunflowers in the rain...it was beautiful!
Call for Volunteers:
The Market is looking for a small team of volunteers to help with weekly set up and/or break down of the farmers' market manager's tent. Please, come visit the manager's tent if you are interested, or email beverlyfarmersmarket@gmail.com. Thanks!

Rain or Shine!
Come enjoy the Beverly Farmers' Market today. Wear your rain gear, rock your rain boots! Come buy butternut squash, carrots, potatoes, onions and herbs for a yummy, veggie soup. Pick up fresh fish from Rowands Fish Market and make it a fish stew. We will also have goodies from In Good Taste Bakery and from The Organic Cafe.
Relax and warm up with a massage from Ahimsa massage. Stop by Beverly Farms Soapwerks for a beautifully, aromatic experience. I don't know what smells better, the basil or the natural soaps!

Come visit the farmers' market tent for some coffee or tea or just to get out of the rain! Coffee and Tea provided by Sub-Marinos Cafe, 200 Rantoul Street. See you soon!

Spotlight on: Rowand's Fisheries
Join us in welcoming Rowand's Fisheries to the Beverly Farmers' Market!
Rowand's Fisheries is a third generation family business has been serving the North Shore for over 50 years. Located at 2 Cabot Street (under the Beverly/Salem Bridge), Rowand's offers fresh, local seafood to prepare in your own kitchen, as well as prepared entrees, chowder, appetizers, and hor d'oeuvres. They even cater lobster or clambakes and raw bars!
On the opening day of the farmers' market, Rowand's offered haddock, scallops, Atlantic salmon, and cooked lobster. They also offer prepared crab cakes and salmon burgers. I purchased scallops and just ended up pan searing them, but try the recipe if you're looking for a quick weeknight meal! Be sure to check the farm stands at the market for greens and fennel!
Looking forward to seeing you at the market on July 12th.
Grilled Scallop Salad
Serves 4.
* 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
* 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
* 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
* Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
* 2 cups leafy greens
* 1/2 bulb fennel, halved lengthwise, cored, and thinly sliced lengthwise
* 12 large sea scallops, tough muscle removed
1. Heat a grill pan over high heat or prepare your outdoor grill. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, orange juice, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Place watercress and fennel in a medium bowl, and toss with enough dressing to coat.
2. Lightly brush scallops with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Skewer if cooking on an outdoor grill (be sure to soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes before you plan to cook). Grill scallops until just opaque, about 2 minutes per side.
3. Divide greens evenly between four plates. Top with 3 scallops each. Drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve immediately.

There is no farmers' market this Monday, July 5. We will be back on Monday, July 12.
Happy Fourth of July!

Opening Day is this Monday, June 28th, 2010!!! We are super excited to start the farmers' market season. The park is quietly waiting for us to fill it with fresh fruit and vegetables, beautiful music, art, and smiling faces. This week you can plan to buy your fresh produce and fish at the Beverly Farmers' Market, in the open air. Yes!
We have really great new vendors and also amazing returning vendors. There will be massage, guitar accessories, handmade bags, gourmet dog treats, books, jewelry, soap, pottery, clothing, and music! Check out the partners page to see an up to date list of farms and vendors.
Live musical entertainment will be provided by the Michael Miksis Farmers' Market Trio. Michael Miksis is a fantastic, local bass player. It will be a treat for everyone to hear this group perform in the park, especially for the kids too young to catch these guys playing into the wee hours.
Veteran's Park is a great little spot for our market; it is child friendly, dog friendly, and picnic friendly. If you don't have a chance to remember your reusable grocery bags and pack a picnic, then pick up a pizza at Casa de Lucca, add some fresh greens and strawberries for an easy dinner and desert! (Remember to bring water to rinse your fresh produce.)
Thank you for supporting the Beverly Farmers' Market! We are going to have a great time, and get some yummy, real, fresh, local food!
