Hello All!
I'm Ann, from Baltimore, and recently joined this site on the urging of Ms. Minx. I do NOT work in the food industry in any way but am very interested in local food and what I consider good cooking and business practices.
I'm the daughter of a farm girl so my expertise, as it were, is in the simple preparation of fresh and in-season produce. Although I do have an inheritance of southern recipes that some may kill for, including Mama Hilda's pound cake (which calls for a pound of butter) and the Smithville Men's Club Brunswick Stew. I also know how to make a BBQ sauce, courtesy of my grandpa Leroy, that will cover half a hog, wipe out your sinuses, clear your pores, and could probably clean your windows.
I'm trying to live off what I buy at local farmers' markets as well as eat at restaurants that serve local, in-season produce and local meats, also limiting artificial ingredients.
I completely cut out HFCS in March (as much as anyone can) and feel pretty great about that.
Good to meet you all.
32nd Street Farmers Market, Baltimore (aka Waverly Market)
in Farms and Farmers' Markets

Here's a guest post I did for the Baltimore Sun's Dining@Large column about my August 7 trip to the market (I go weekly).
It's very brief- someone typically gives a short report of the goodies to be found as the 32nd Street Farmer's Market is a good tip-off for what to find at the larger Baltimore Farmer's Market (under the JFX/83) on Sundays.
Waverly Market report
With our usual Saturday farmers' market correspondent away at the shore, BaltimoreGal graciously agreed to check out Waverly this week. Sounds like she had a great time. Here's BaltimoreGal. LV
It was a gorgeous day at the market -- one of the prime days of the year!
Tomatoes were at almost every stand but the star were the heirloom tomatoes in every shade: black, purple, red, orange, yellow, and green!
I saw all kinds of melon, including beautiful watermelons, as well as yellow and white peaches, nectarines, and all kinds of plums.
I saw eggplant great and small and a rainbow of peppers.
The other star for me came via Hollow Farms. They have Lima beans, black beans, black-eyed peas, and Crowder peas. I suggest buying at least a pound of each!
