It's strawberry heaven today in the Greenmarket! Sycamore has fabulous berries, with many other farmers having good looking strawberries as well. Stokes has their delicious variety and Berried Treasures has the first of their Tri-Stars. Sugar snap peas are available at many stands as well. I tried one of Ted Blew's ample supply and it was sweet and flavorful. Evolution, Paffenroth, and other farmers have lovely produce. Mountain Sweet Berry has tasty wild baby arugula, young garlic, sucrine lettuce, and CHERVIL! Sycamore has crisp "burpless" cucumbers and greenhouse tomatoes. Cherry Lane has asparagus, spinach, and greenhouse heirloom tomatoes.
Tim Faoro of Flora Perfecta has exquisite peach-colored lilies, purple lilies, and other flowers. River Garden has beautiful wildflowers and grasses. Berried Treasures has lupins!
Albany, N.Y. -- New York State Agriculture Commissioner Patrick Hooker on Tuesday told consumers that New York grown tomatoes are safe to consume, and they have not been linked to the recent salmonella outbreak in raw red plum, raw red Roma, or raw round red tomatoes.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration confirmed this information and expanded its list of production areas not associated with the outbreak to include New York.
