Newness and Nostalgia at SOJ

We always find great things at the South of the James Market. We discovered tangerine tomatoes - bright orange and very sweet (Amy's Garden). And speaking of sweet we found candy onions at Walnut Hill Farm. They also had Dixie speckled butter peas - in a pod like a butter bean, but red and ecru in color.

And then a bit of nolstagia - black-eyed peas, unshelled. I have not seen this since my grandparents stopped gardening. These were from a farm in Chesterfield.

And Faith Farm had fresh whole chickens today. Can't wait to roast it!

Here are a few more photos:
