Every Saturday there is a fantastic Farmers Market in the city of Kalispell. Jessi and I made a trip out this weekend in a desperate search for Tomatoes. While all of my friends and neighbors back home in New Orleans are knee deep in Creole Tomatoes, finding a homegrown Tomato in the great state of Montana is a difficult task.
Luckily we arrived 20 minutes before the market started, just in time to take our place in the dramatically long line for...TOMATOES!!
Aqua Gardens, run by husband and wife team of Ron and Kelley Zimmerman, supplies us with their beautiful, hydroponically grown red and yellow tomatoes and new this year, English Cucumbers.
The Tomatoes, looked like soft jewels and the Cucumbers are some of the best I have every tasted. I love that they individually hand wrap them in saran wrap to mimic the cellophane wrapped English Cukes that you find at the grocery!
We were also able to pickup freshly dug New Potatoes, Arugula, Red Spring Onions, and Radishes.
