Local Produce at GFM...and Salad!

I did a little grocery shopping at Green Fields Market on Sunday and took note of what local produce was available. The pickings are still pretty thin, but a bit better than a couple weeks ago.

Of greatest note, at least for me: baby spinach and salad greens from Red Fire Farm!

Also: celeriac, sunchokes, sweet potatoes, purple top turnips, Gilfeather turnips, and several kinds of sprouts from Uppingil Farm in Gill.

Combine those salad greens, a little spinach, some sprouts and a bit of sliced sun choke, and it is again possible to have fresh salad from local ingredients. Top with a little feta from Chase Hill Farm or some Berkshire Blue for extra kick.
