“For me, summer hasn’t really started until tomatoes reappear in local farmers’ markets.” ― José Andrés

Today, June 17^th, is National Eat Your Vegetables Day. Locally sourced organic vegetables have always been the cornerstone of the meals served at The Factory Café, and like many of our readers, farmer’s market produce is a staple on our home tables.
