Vegetables Are Better This Week in Local Market
The potato market remains unsettled with prices likely higher than usual for this period due to a hot dry summer. Dealers hope Colorado and Idaho crops moving soon will ease prices. Home grown produce shines with sweet corn and butter beans especially good, while tomatoes are winding down. New fruits from Michigan and California appear, including peaches, Bartlett pears, Concord grapes, cantaloupes from Rocky Ford, and plentiful muskmelons. Prices cover beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, celery, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce, onions, peppers, potatoes, squash, and various fruits with diverse per-pound and per-peck rates listed. Various local church and social notices follow, including gatherings, meetings, and events.
