CrescentFresh Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Incredibly delicious Catawba grapes at the USDA farmer's market last Friday. Probably the most powerfully-flavored grapes I've ever eaten. Wonderful. Today at USDA, this particular stand had 3 different varieties of grapes. I got a quart of Suffolk for $3.50. Not as powerful nor as sweet as the Catawba. A bit more of a spicier essence to them. Utterly superb. My colleage had the fresh churned peach ice cream. She said it was not overly sweetened, letting the peaches do the work. And the empanadas for $3 are a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to jump on the Metro and find out...And get some of those heirlooms too Oh yes, he's there - good stuff. Not that we need kettle corn in the house on a regular basis, but the $10 bucket, with $5 refills, isn't a bad deal.The farmer I mentioned in the Clarendon market thread is at the USDA market (still didn't get a name) with his Sunrise apples, and all the other good stone fruits that are in season right now.

Pool Boy Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Is the kettle corn vendor there regularly?

I am pretty sure they are there every time. I am told they are opening a store in Calvert County to be open all the time to make and sell the stuff, too.

The good(?) news is that they are also at the "American Market" at National Harbor, Saturdays from 9am-2pm. How much kettle corn can be consumed in a 48-hour period!?!Add kettle corn to my list of off-limits foods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a short-term thing for only a few weeks as they had other commitments later in the summer. Imagine my disappointment... They are supposed to be back there next summer.The good news is they are opening a store in North Beach, MD - see the link for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
