Something new every day!
Friday, April 18, 2008
This is really a fun time of year to eat locally. There’s not a ton of stuff that’s seasonal, but fresh things keep dribbling into the farmer’s markets and every day brings some new shoot in the garden. I have tons of chives already, and there’s some overwintered sorrel that looks ready to harvest! And did I mention the fig growing on my fig tree?
Every time I get the email about what’s coming in the next week at the Fair Food Farmstand, I can’t open it fast enough. This week there are wild garlic bulbs and spring scallions from Green Meadow Farm. There’s baby rainbow chard and beet greens. Spinach. There’s even a recipe included involving the garlic and the great, locally grown spelt berries sold at the farmstand.
I know what I’ll be eating this weekend!
What’s in season at your local market?
