Roslindale Farmers Market Opening Day 2012

                                          

It’s getting close to that time: opening day. Baseball season has already started, so I’m talking about the next big opening day in my life, my local farmers market. My local market begins June 2nd. I’m also hoping the Red Sox start getting a little better by then.

I love my market and all of the folks involved. It takes a small army to put together this weekly Saturday community event. The Roslindale (Mass) Farmer’s Market not only has great produce, locally made foods, plants and crafts, there’s also live music and always  something going on that brings the community together.

Last year, I attended opening day – and I was also there on the final day, doing a food demo and giving out samples with Chef Odessa Piper. Odessa is the former owner and chef of the reknown restaurant L’Etoile in Madison Wisconsin. Her restaurant was one of the early pioneers of sourcing all locally-raised ingredients.

Odessa now lives in Roslindale and has become part of the community by being involved and using her experience at our farmers market. It was a pleasure sous cheffing with Odessa, and I hope we can do it again this year.

 As for opening day, I can’t wait to see my farmer friends and neighbors and of course, I’ll be picking up beautiful and delicious local produce, grass fed meats and other local products for my clients and family.

The love of my Farmers Market and community has also inspired me to lead what I call The Roslindale Farmers Market Tour of local ethnic and gourmet shopping. Checkout the web page for more information: http://www.lesteresser.com/food-tours/.

I hope to see you there.

Sounds like a great time. Hope it all goes well both with the Market and the Red Sox, except when they play the Rays. Enjoy!
