RIGHT NOW AT ZEPHS': Summer is finally upon us and our menu will be bursting with the arrival of each new vegetable and fruit.
Having picked over 70 pounds of sour cherries, we’re confident that
Once-A-Year Sour Cherry Pie will be available through July.

A bumper crop of garlic planted last September is about to be harvested. So expect garlic chips, Greek Skordalia Sauce, Italian Puttanesca Sauce, Turkish Yogurt Sauce... and all manner of garlic infused dishes (but never the horror of garlic Ice Cream). Fresh picked garlic is such a real treat.
It may be a sparse summer for tomatoes and corn, thanks to the cool wet spring, but we will try our best to have the usual subjects: Tuscan Pappa alla Pomodoro, Corn Pudding, Corn Chowder, and maybe something new and exciting with corn AND tomatoes. We’re hoping that real farmers are better than we are at growing in adverse conditions.
Although our tomato crop is hurting, we should have no shortage of ground cherry husk tomatoes (knock on wood?!) for salads, and lots of fresh greens and beans.
Every week brings something new (change really is good). As the tomatoes and corn fade we will have Potato Leek Soup with our freshly dug potatoes and tender 
new leeks. It’s a classic simple soup, always delicious, that can be memorable in the height of the season.
