In the edge of downtown, the Dallas Farmers Market is a vision of produce that excites the senses. Peruse the stalls of family farmers, and taste the fruits of their labor. Baskets of tomatoes, peppers, squash, peaches, plums, and melons compete for your attention. J. T. and Carolyn Lemley have 25 years experience growing tomatoes, peaches, green beans, and squash, while Pat Sherlock offers a variety of shelled peas and beans at Pat's Pea Patch. These recipes are from our friends at the market and our readers. Let them help you enjoy the bounty of fresh goodies this season.
