Wellfleet
With the blowing of the conch shells, the farmers at the Wellfleet market are open for business. Rebecca Scanlon of Pleasant Lake Farm in Harwich recommends the yellow wax beans, the lingering snap peas, and the radishes that she re-seeds and grows all season long. Nestwood Farm is the place for summer squash right now with several specialty varieties. “Zephyr” is a beautiful two-tone: half pale yellow, half light green. “Golden Glory” is a bright sunflower yellow with a green stem, and of course there is the beloved pattypan: delicious to eat and baffling to cut.
