 Happy SpringYou know spring has arrived when the days get longer and the daffodils begin emerging from their winter nap. Despite the chilly days this week, we've seen the forsythia buds as well. We have our eyes out for the tulips next. We are also looking forward to our early spring crops - both from the earth (think ramps, rhubarb, asparagus) as well as from our industrious greenhouse growers. This week Earth's Palate is bringing scallions. We're looking forward to seeing you at the market Saturday after our 4 week break. We have much of what you need for your holiday meals as well as some treats for Easter baskets - including the baskets themselves. A reminder that we've cancelled the 4/27 market, and added May 4 - which will be our next market. The remaining dates for the indoor market are: April 13 May 4 May 11 May 25 June 1 June 8. Market NotesHere are some highlights of the market this week. For a full list of vendors, see the end of the newsletter.
Anna Gill's column is titled Imminent Mint and features the herb of that name. She, too, celebrates the arrival of spring offerings, including the emergence of perennial spring herbs. Her column includes several recipes with mint you can find on our website, but the featured recipe -Chocolate Peppermint Flourless Torte - sounds downright too good not to try. So we will! See you at the market Saturday, April 13, INDOORS at the Community Center. Sustainable Tip of the WeekApril 13, 4 PM, Cornwall Library.
