I highly recommend this. It goes on from early in the morning until about 12-12:30 in the afternoon. You can find a bit of everything here.

In August it's very disappointing when it comes to fresh produce, which is bizarre given the…read moreseason. I have never seen a cabbage completely infected by Fusarium fungus until today. Sure it happens on Kale, but with cabbage there are so many resistant strains like Cardinal it never usually ends up being sold? Plant pathogenic fungi produce compounds that can be toxic to people, although the pathogen itself does not infect people. For example, Fusarium, produces "mycotoxins" (toxins produced by fungi). The mycotoxins produced by Fusarium include fumonisins, zearalenone, and the aptly-named vomitoxin. Effects of mycotoxins can include development and reproductive problems, vomiting, general lethargy, and death, depending on the particular mycotoxin present and the level of contamination. Vomitoxin will definitely not make your cabbage salad popular with friends at the church BBQ. I really hope Sequoia's buyer starts looking a bit more critical at produce to protect customers.
