News: The Return of the Farmers’ Markets
Across our region, several of the major farmer’s market are back in business for the season. What might you find this weekend? Various lettuces, spring mix, mesclun, arugula, kale, chard, broccoli rabe, asparagus, rhubarb, peas, mushrooms, spring garlic and herbs. You can also shop for milk, cheese, poultry, meat, fish, honey, maple syrup, wine, flowers, bread, pickles, jams, pies. There will also be lots of bedding plants for your garden and cut flowers. Every farmer may not show up the first weekend. In Hudson, they are calling it a “soft” opening, but promise that at least 20 vendors will be on hand by June 14.
