Farmers Market Countdown

Correction: This post originally gave the opening date as May 2; it is actually Saturday May 1.

The Greenfield Farmers Market opens May 1 - if this is where you shop, mark your calendar! At the first market of the year we are likely to see asparagus, salad greens, cooking greens, radishes, eggs, meat, and cheese, among other things. If past experience is a guide, we will also see fiddleheads and ramps, usually available only the first week - get them while you can!

This is also a good time to think about a CSA share. CISA offers a nice listing of farms with shares available for the 2010 season.

As for myself, I am watching plants sprout in the garden and stretch upward under the lights indoors - in between a lot of travel, mostly for work, which has put something of a damper on new recipe development lately. Keep checking back - more are forthcoming!
