We still have leeks, fennel, and plenty of spring mix, lettuce, collards, mustard and kale on offer. We expect to see more berries in the market. Blueberries are already coming in and will increase in volume later in the month. Blackberries may be in the market as early as this week. A tart early season variety of apple, Lodi, is in the market now. Sweet cherries are out, replaced by sour cherries. Cucumbers have arrived to the market as well.
Scott Perry and students were great. These talented musicians played tunes from a wide range of genres with a jazzy twist that was fun and different. Parents showed up to support the students and visit the market tables. We hope that he will be back with his students later in the season.
