The market has gotten off to a good start with lots of fresh veggies and fruit beginning to show up on vendor tables.

There are green top beets from small to medium size.  Green top shallots and onions.  You can find plenty of salad fixings with several kinds of lettuce, spinach, beet greens, and other goodies.  The herbs can be used so many ways, in cooking meals or salads.  Peas and broccoli are great this time of year.

You can find honey along with many kinds of jams and jellies.  And, on Saturdays there is maple syrup and locally raised meats.  Don’t forget the home baked bread and cookies, mmmm they are good.

Cucumbers and zucchini are just starting to show up along with a few fresh raspberries.  It’s about mid-season for strawberries.  Blueberries shouldn’t be too far in the future.

Check out some pictures from this season.

Be sure to stop in and visit Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 8 to noon.
