Summer Market Bliss: 5 Reasons To Hit The Farmer’s Market Right Now

Look, we're the ones who hit up the farmer's market in the pouring rain. In February. There's just something about the outdoor stalls and abundance of produce that brings us to life. Shopping at the farmer's market every week gives us those romantic, this is real life vibes we're looking for between homogenized shopping malls and overly-processed supermarket shelves. We're into it. And that passion goes over the top come the heat of summer! In August, farmer's markets come to life on a whole other level, bursting with giant heirloom tomatoes and some of the best eats that summer has to offer. Think grilled corn, neon greens, and peaches to die for. We asked Chef Yousef of the Fairmont's The Fig restaurant (right up the street from our favorite Wednesday market) to let us know what he's scooping up right now - and to share a recipe that makes the most of it all! Note his hit-list and head to your local market this week - you won't be disappointed. Then pick up some of the year's best stone fruits and make this salad to let 'em shine...
