A SOLSTICE TO REMEMBER
UNIVERSAL TRADITIONS
The Summer solstice is celebrated all around the world. The Swedes call it Midsommer; a celebration of the summer solstice and the longest day of sunlight all year long . A traditional event that revolves mostly around friends and food, Midsommer can easily be translated into a good time anywhere.
The basic idea is to celebrate the flavors of summer and the bounty of the markets at this time of year and the North Park Farmer's Market has plenty to share. Start your own midsummer tradition and toss some of Kawano Farm's sweet white corn in a salad with some chopped dill from Suzie's Farm and tomatoes from Valdivia. Grill halved avocados from Paradise Valley Ranch and made a smokier version of guacamole. While you're at it, add some bacon from Da Le Ranch and cilantro and lime too. A fruit salad of Smit Orchard's peaches and berries from Hillside and you've got summer in San Diego fully represented.
We may not spend our winters in almost perpetual darkness and snow, but we still love a good celebration of the sun. Why not start with the Summer Solstice Social at Suzie's Farm this Saturday?
