Brigid's Abbey!! Blood Orange Marmalade!! Cat Grass!!

Another beautiful day! I ran into one of the chefs who still come to the market despite the season, picking up microgreens from Windfall, and we commiserated on the winter slump and our hopes for the appearance of ramps, fiddleheads, reasonable morels, asparagus, and rhubarb, all of which won't be showing up for a while. We talked about Three Corner Field Farm's lamb and the fact that they won't be here much longer -- back in May! I bought some Bridgid's Abbey from Cato (this is its best time of year, by the way), and talked about Anthony Bourdain's visit to their farm, which aired recently.

Cayuga is here with beans and grains and Locust Grove, Breezy Hill, and Terhune, among other orchards, have apples and cider. Ronnybrook has milks, drinkable yogurts, and butters, and Madura is here with mushrooms. Red Jacket has various fruit flavored ciders. Beth's Jams, Our Daily Bread, Knoll Krest, and other stands are also here.
