Summer weekends may be dwindling, but summer produce isn't!

Amelia Tarpey is a program and publicity manager for GrowNYC Greenmarkets. She says farmstands across the city are offering over 600 varieties of peppers this season. Many peppers are priced at about $4 per pound, and up to $8 per pound for specialty peppers. Or, you can get a half gallon container of peppers priced at around $6 a carton. Load up on Jimmy Nardello peppers this weekend to make sausage and peppers for Labor Day, or maybe try your hand at homemade hot sauce with some habaneros!
