It’s September. should I write a post on Gelato??? Absolutely!
Love Gelato and make it year round. It's not reserved just for the summer months.
Since I love citrus, I embrace it in my desserts whenever possible.
The Lemon Gelato recipe follows in this post after I share with you photos of the
Princeton Farmer’s Market located in Princeton , New Jersey
This past summer I’ve visited several farmers’ markets and posted photos on my blog.
I must say, I had a blast. I met so many nice people and enjoyed seeing
all the different produce, products etc. that vendors offered for sale.

On Thursday, September 1st, I stopped by the Princeton Farmers’ Market.
Hurricane Irene passed through the east coast a few days earlier, August 27 and 28 (Saturday and Sunday). There was some damage in my area, but not as severe as other locations. I didn’t anticipate the market being open. Fortunately, it was business as usual in Princeton . The Princeton Farmers’ Market is located in a plaza setting. There’s a great vibe here. There is also live music. Had a great time meeting the vendors and taking photos of their products.
Support your local farmers’ markets.
it’s good for you and the economy.
“The Princeton Farmers Market offers the community a wonderful variety of vegetables, fruits, grassfed poultry and meats, eggs, cheeses, honey, fresh juices, breads, flowers, and vegan/gluten free snacks. All the farmers are local and only sell what they grow themselves. All breads, baked goods, and other products are freshly made using healthy ingredients and include connections with local farmers. No commercial mixes are allowed to be used. Supporting your local farmers and thereby knowing where your food comes from assures the safety and sustainability of what you buy. Come and enjoy the market--sitting at the tables under an umbrella, listening to the music at noontime, feeling a part of the community, and taking home all the rich tasting fresh edibles.”
