These folks have a stand at the Saturday Berkeley farmers' market. While I didn't buy any of their mushrooms, I did buy a 2 lb bag of Fuyu persimmons and a couple of large, beautiful sweet potatoes. They had 2 lb bags of those too, but I didn't buy a bag because I doubted I would use it up. I've had commercial sweet potatoes go bad because it's taken me so long to get around to them. True to form, I cooked one tonight, about 3 weeks since I bought it. It hadn't gone bad, probably because it was fresher than the ones from the store. The skin was a dark red, so I was surprised when I opened it and the flesh was a pale yellow. It was so sweet, though, much sweeter than the ones I usually get. I would certainly go back for more of those. I haven't tried the persimmons yet. A couple are on the windowsill ripening and the rest are in the refrigerator. Next time I return to the Berkeley farmers' market I will certainly check out their offerings. read more
