More Good Stuff at Cure Organic and Munson Stands

Two very different scenes this afternoon at my favorite farmstands at 75th and Valmont. People are whizzing in and out of the parking lot at Munson Farm, many seeking their fabulous corn that's nearly sold out for the day. The peaches and cream is gone, and there were four ears left of the yellow, so white corn is the remaining choice of the afternoon (but their white corn is absolutely delicious, too). They have onions the size of cantaloupes, fresh chiles, tomatoes, peaches, and lots more, some from their own farm, some from elsewhere. While they're not an organic farm, they do seem to support pesticide-free produce.

Meanwhile, the little self-serve stand tucked away across the street at Cure Organic Farm was quiet and brimming with organic options, plus beautiful flowers. Particularly notable were the pints of yellow cherry tomatoes (of the type I think are called pear), tomatillos, leek-like onions, chard, arugula in the fridge, and just a ton of other veggies out on the table. Of special interest, they're selling their regular red tomatoes for $3 a pound, same price as the ones across the street that don't seem to be organic or from the Munson farm. Cure also has heirloom tomatoes for $5 a pound. So much to choose from at this wonderful time of the year.
