Rats - the link to my blog doesn't work in my comment above so I'll try it again: Dave's Kitchen. There, better that time?
Can't wait to read all of your blogs! So glad there are still so many food blogs out there.

Wow - Great list! This'll sure give me some good summer reading material. Mine's Dave's Kitchen. I write posts about cooking, with some recipes, and I also cover what's happening at the New York City Farmers' Markets. Enjoy!
In Season: Strawberries
Freeze 'em! They freeze really well. Just hull them, cut them into quarters, and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight (you can stack additional layers with parchment paper or plastic wrap). In the morning, pour them into a ziplock bag. They'll keep for months in the freezer, and will give you a taste of peak springtime flavor well into winter. Other berries (and other farmers market goodies) freeze just as well -- I wrote a post about it on my blog last year.

Your idea of having the farmers submit what they expect to bring to market and when is a *great* idea. Like any "in season" guide (like here: http://bit.ly/QBYcz) this app bound to be only a very general guideline at best.
Farmers are very innovative and will find ways to grow a much wider variety of crops over a much more flexible growing season than any map can pin down. Last year i found plenty of strawberries in August -- the farmers told me they were growing varieties that produced berries all summer long. And you'll find much wider variety at the market than on the map too -- gooseberries anyone? Black currents?
As for recipes, Epicurious has a terrific free iPhone app, that taps into their 30,000-strong recipe database. Likely you'll find some guidance there for your bok choy.
