Winter blahs got you down? Plan now to enjoy the Spring Fever Recipe Contest sponsored by The South Kingstown Wintertime Farmers Market in Peace Dale on March 19, 2011.
Everyone is welcome to participate by sharing their culinary creations - or by cheering on their favorite home chefs.
Chef Frank Terranova of WJAR television and Johnson & Wales University and Chef Brandon from Celestial Café in Exeter, Rhode Island, will serve as celebrity judges.
There isn't a whole lot of fine print to this contest. In fact, the Spring Fever Recipe Contest has two rules.
Rule 1. Choose a recipe category:
- Appetizers
- Entrées
- Side Dishes
- Desserts
Rule 2. Each recipe you enter must use at least three ingredients from the South Kingstown Wintertime Farmers Market.
Sign up and gather your gustatory treasures the next two Saturdays, March 5 and March 12, from 10 am to 2 pm at the South Kingstown Wintertime Farmers Market, Peacedale Mill Complex, 1425 Kingstown Road, Peace Dale, RI.
The farmers market offers virtually anything you might need for your winning recipe - from vegetables of all descriptions to eggs, meats, cheeses, yogurt, sweeteners, baked goods. and more.
Get your creative juices flowing and impress the judges! Or just come and enjoy the event on March 19th.
Sign-up sheets are available at the farmers market, or join the South Kingstown Wintertime Market on Facebook to learn more. At press time, prizes had not been determined but were expected to include some cash prizes. There is no entry fee.

Beth, thanks for providing links to more great information. You have helped to build at the farmers market a wonderful community of farmers, growers, bakers, other vendors, musicians, AND CONSUMERS. I wonder if people in general realize that one can do much if not most of their weekly shopping at the farmers market?

Not only can you do your weekly shopping at the Farmers' Market, you can have fun while doing it! It's fun to plan your weekly meals using the fresh local foods that are available, run into people you know (as big as South County has become, it's still a wonderfully small community), asking the farmers for tips, how-tos and recipes - entering a recipe contest! A bright spot in the Saturday chore and errand list!
