Summery, savoury watermelon: Salad expands the possibilities | Black Watermelon Seeds

Arvada & Lakewood While most kids erect lemonade stands in their front yards, Kelly Conley’s and Ginny Kooyman’s children are more likely to be found selling scones and other treats that their mothers bake each week for their four-month-old CFA bakery, Counter Currant. Arvada-based Conley and Kooyman, a Lakewood resident, first crossed paths five years ago at a home-school meetup, where they bonded over their shared love of all things DIY—including baking. “Now we just bake a lot more,” Kooyman says. “[Counter Currant] gives both of us the flexibility to work on a level that works for us.” Their selections—apple pies, pear tarts, sticky fig cake, chocolate shortbread—change weekly, often star local produce, and there are always gluten-free options available. The mamas’ can-do venture is even inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs: Kooyman’s 13- and 11-year-olds and Conley’s 12-year-old are teaming up to launch a CFA-certified granola line this month.How To Buy: Weekly menus can be found via @counter.currant’s Instagram account; prices range from $6 for two croissants to $27 for a 10-inch pie. Order online by Thursday for Saturday pickup in Lakewood or Arvada.

Heirloom tomatoes ($12) — when they were still in season, natch — arrived with a cool puddle of herbed ricotta and a bright tomatillo puree, a tart contrast to the sweet summer fruit. More recently, grilled figs ($14) have made an appearance in an earthy and fragrant tangle alongside beets, hazelnuts and sorrel with a touch of citrusy yuzu froth.
