Cape Cod's Addition to the Kitchen: Farmers Markets

Locavore, in case you are like the NEVR team and have not heard this word before it is a growing term that gives definition to a new group of eaters. Locavore’s are not vegetarians or vegans but people who are ready to throw aside the pesticides and GMO’s and opt for nothing less than locally grown farm to table.  As chefs go back to basics they hope to leave a smaller eco-footprint than importing and keep their dishes packed with nutrients which is why Farmers Markets are in growing demand.

As we drove down Route 28 on Tuesday the crisp sweetness of kettle corn stopped us in our tracks and we could not help but pull over to the Chatham Farmers Market. With rambunctious red tomatoes, glistening blueberries and even some refreshing ginger beer from Farmer Willies

to quench our thirst we sampled each stands newest flavor and even got to speak with some of Cape Cods local farmers.

Chef Lisa, owner of Chef Lisa’s Home Grown Gourmet, is a private chef who had us hooked with her new watermelon gazpacho which tied in the perfect amount of playful sweetness with delicate spice. This creative culinary expert plans her menus around what is ripe and growing in each season whether that be Zucchini, summer squash or tomatoes. This true farm to table experience leads to an ever changing mouth-watering display that incorporates whichever harvest happens to be in abundance from the farm stands that were surrounding us.

Drooling over the organic salted caramel ice cream pops from The Local Scoop, Foss Farms famous tomato sauce and the dressing from the Paul Newman’s of Cape Cod, DD’s Dressing, we truly understood why this farm to table movement was spreading with such clout.   

We are not sure whether it was Chef Lisa’s delicious gluten free oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies, or Allen Farms savory basil, but whatever it was our team is going back next week for our local addition to the kitchen.

 Don’t forget to live like a local with our friends at various Farmers Markets Cape-wide, including Chatham, Harwich, Orleans, Wellfleet and more!

Hello Summer...

Ah Summer how we missed you!!! 

 It finally feels like spring and summer all at once on Cape Cod.  For the first time in many years we actually had a cold snowy winter.  But as we drive around now we suddenly see green grass and trees and the flowers are now blooming.

There is nothing like a Cape Cod garden.  Our favorites are the beautiful perennial's and of course when the hydrangeas peak…then we know it is Cape Cod summer.

If you never have been to the Cape let us help you be a local and we will do our best to find you the best home for your group…any budget and any size.  You rent one of our vacation homes for as little as $800 a week for a cottage and up to $20,000 a week for a luxury home.

Memories are Made In Our Homes.  See you on the Cape!  New England Vacation Rentals
