Martha Stewart may not be everyone's cup of Earl Grey, but she has a great seasonal recipe section on her website. While the "spring" ingredients might not all make their appearance here until summer (green beans?), there are a bunch of recipes for asparagus, rhubarb, ramps, radishes, spring lettuce, and other yummies that will be ready soon if they aren't already. We should have radishes and ramps at the next market, and scallions and lettuce are coming soon. (Did anyone see our spring lettuce last year? We're hoping to get some even bigger, more beautiful heads this time!)

We'll also be adding some more spring-time recipes to our recipe section, so check back there for updates. If you have any favorites, let us know & we'll share!

Thanks to Joanna of Otter Creek Yoga for including information about our CSA in her April newsletter - just another example of why we love the Middlebury community so much. Welcome to anyone here as a result! Please poke around the website and get in touch if you have any questions.

That's ginger being planted down the middle of the solar heated bed, with seedlings on either side.  We're pretty exited about that.

(Yes, the CSA will get ginger. Yes, you can still sign up.)

And thanks to everyone who stopped by the market to visit and meet Sonora today - it was great to see you all! The farmers' market moves outside starting May 7, so if you didn't get a chance to come down today, stop by then for some spinach, pea shoots, and maybe radishes and more.

We'll be at the Middlebury Farmers' Market next Saturday, April 23, with a bunch of fresh spinach! We'll also have eggs from our chickens, who are psyched to be back on grass after the long winter.

Afterwards, we're going to be at the Middlebury College Earth Day celebration with some information about our solar heat set-up. Come down and say hello (and meet the new baby)!
