Belmont Farmer’s Market, originally uploaded by joshuat1974. Wandering around today, I happened across signs for the Belmont Farmer’s Market, which takes place every Wednesday from 2:00 pm to 6:30 pm.

I regret neglecting the plants, and hope to do better this year. In the meantime, I’ve finally revisited my cheesemaking interest, largely [...]
