First the big news. The market season has been extended! The Lloyd Farmers Market will continue to run weekly until December 22nd. We’ll take a week off and return on January 5th. The market will again run weekly through March 16. Thank you for your great support. As the seasons change, you’ll see a few new vendors.
There will be a nice selection of fruit this week – melons, apples, pears, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, plums, and prune plums. It rained pretty hard on Saturday so the wild huckleberry season may be over. You should also find a nice selection of lettuces and other greens, beets, green beans, eggplants, daikon, carrots, cucumbers and other vegetables. Matsutake mushroom season began a little while back. Bill may have some tomorrow. He should also have chanterelles, lobster mushrooms, porcini and chicken of the woods as well as cultivated shitake and maitake mushrooms.
