Aw Snaps: Red Onions

Every week our friends at Real Time Farms feature the top photos of farms, food artisans, and farmers markets shared on their site.

Onions may not be the item that make you eagerly anticipate market day, but when they can be coaxed into something as delicious as Merrill's Red Onion Jam, they just might get added to your regular shopping list. These beauties from Shamba Farms are basking in the sunshine at the West End Farmers' Market in Alexandria, Virginia. Whether red or white, in a jam or a tart, it's clear that onions deserve their day in the sun. Click here to see more, and then add a photo of your own - you might be featured here next week!

Real Time Farms is a crowd-sourced nationwide food guide. Everyone, from farmers to foodies, can share photos and information about food: how it was grown, who grew it and where to find it. We all deserve to know where our food comes from, and Real Time Farms enables you to trace your food back to the farm, so you can find food you feel good about eating.
