Garlic Vinaigrette

1 lemon, juiced
2 T Worcestershire sauce
15–20 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup balsamic vinegar

The Farmstand:
The farmstand is self-serve and open dawn to dusk. We make an effort to stock the stand most every morning so that you will have the freshest veggies and herbs. We round all our prices down to the nearest quarter dollar to make things easier for you (and us) as we do not make change. Checks are accepted.

Have a great week!
