Was it just today?

The Copley Sq Farmer's Market was about half the size I remember -- it all fit alongside the library. Was this just today or has it been this size all season?

Even so I found SQUASH BLOSSOMS !!!!! I need to figure out a dish worthy of them!

has it been this size all season

that's what SHE said

It's been that size, in that location, for the last few weeks (which implies it's probably been like that all season)

Yes, both Tuesday and Friday markets have been small. And fewer people selling produce than I recall from before. It felt like a food court with 2 farms selling stuff.

I shouldn't complain. They had more than I could carry, and the samosas were good.

That's how I feel about this year's Kendall Sq market; there's one farm selling produce; the rest are prepared food, meat, fish, honey, etc.

Do you want Italian squash blossoms or Native American squash blossoms?

[cmcmck]

The Italians make fritters with them which are to die for

The Copley Square Farmer's Market is one of the few things I miss about living in Boston.

It may be smaller but it's still kicking, and has been joined by lots of other markets. I really love them.

It was literally right outside my office when I worked at Manulife. It was absolutely the best.

Do you know if Atlas Farms still shows up?

[minoanmiss]

I checked yesterday and didn't see them.

Oh, bummer. We bought a lot of our produce from them, and they were cool people. The other was...err...Siena Farms. They also had a stall in the Boston Public Market which was an easy trip from either the office or home (we were living in Eastie)
