Cheerful Cherry is back!!! Buzzard Crest may be late or not coming!! Mountain Sweet Berry has CROSNES!!

Cheerful Cherry is back!!! They have Italian plums, grapes, tomatoes, apples, and jams. Locust Grove is here with honey crisp and macoun apples as well as pears and some tomatoes and raspberries. S&SO, Paffenroth, and Norwich are here with a wide variety of produce and Gorzynski and Keith have greens and root vegetables. Stokes has heirloom tomatoes, cut herbs, lettuces, and other vegetables. (I've been drying their herbs for the winter and find their tarragon, thymes, and other herbs particularly good for that purpose.)

The frost affected Mountain Sweet Berry's beans -- they only had flageolets early today -- but they have an interesting kind of broccoli and CROSNES as well as sucrine lettuce, wild arugula, and delicious European style small potatoes. D'Attolico has flavorful carrots, sprouts, and other vegetables and Oak Grove has heirloom tomatoes, squashes, pumpkins, and hot peppers as well as corn and many kinds of cherry tomato.

I didn't see Buzzard Crest, but they could have been held up somehow. It's worth checking to see if they've arrived late -- their grapes and grape juices are delicious.
