If you missed the last post, the Lloyd Farmers Market is now a year-round farmers market. We originally planned to finish up on March 16th and re-open in June. However, vendors and customers alike wanted to stay open. Who am I to get in the way? Thank you all for the great support. Be sure to tell your friends and co-workers.
This week you should find lots of greens both cultivated (chard, collards, kales, salad mixes, spinach) and wild (nettles,miner’s lettuce, mountain cress). Rick Steffen Farm will also have some asparagus. Brassicas like broccoli raab, bok choy, broccoli, kohlrabi and turnips should be available.
