http://www.aluminumchef.net -- South Dakota's vibrant agricultural industry offers Sioux Falls residents an amazing opportunity to get fresh from the farm produce. Each weekend from May to September, Sioux Falls is the site of not one, but three vibrant Farmers Markets. Sadly I, like most Sioux Falls residents, rarely take advantage of this opportunity. We’re all struggling to eat healthier these days, and what better place to start than with fresh produce? That's why this blog was born. My challenge is to visit the Market each week throughout the summer, find one or two special items and create a dish around them. I hope you’ll join me on this little adventure and we’ll see what our local farmers have to offer.
