Come Party With Me: Farmers Market Feast — The Look
Turn your patio or backyard into an inviting and eclectic dining space for a meal inspired by the freshness of the farmers market. Set up a wooden table and put a placemat in front of each seat. Place a blue plate, napkin, low glass tumbler, and silverware on the placemats.
Come Party With Me: Farmers Market Feast — Drinks
Kick-start your farmers market feast with a potent, fresh-fruit cocktail in the form of a watermelon-rum mash. Cubes of melon are pureed and mixed with mint and rum. The final concoction is refreshing and conversation enhancing.
Come Party With Me: Farmers Market Feast — Dessert

The recipe shown here is an updated version of strawberry shortcake.
Come Party With Me: Farmers Market Feast — Menu
