Seeds of Friendship: A Farmers’ Market Supper

Revel in the cheerful camaraderie of a visit to the farmers’ market, and share your treasured bounty at a pleasant alfresco supper. 

An early morning spent foraging the local produce market cultivates delights that fill this outdoor repast with dashing seasonal allure. Strawberry-hued flatware accents a classic check-pattern charger topped by a plate that echoes the floral flurry. 

The most charming of all is a display of party tokens for guests—seed packets ready for planting—perched alongside just-picked tomatoes, sweet corn, ripe peaches, and luscious berries. Find the full menu on the next page.

A summertime pasta with yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, and sugar snap peas anchors the menu, which brims with fruits and vegetables from the day’s harvest. Tangy Avocado-Mango Salad joins grilled melon tinged with mint and honey.
