Well, it's nastyish out, but not too nasty to find great stuff today in the Greenmarket.

Violet Hill has all sorts of fresh pork cuts (smoked next week) and their unusual chicken egg varieties, as well as Belle Rouge chickens and chicken parts. Northshire has vegetables, including cabbages and rutabagas. (Check out last week's New York Magazine for a recipe for rutabagas! Windfall may have them, too.)

Monkshood, Shushan, D'Attolico, Windfall, and Two Guys all have interesting greens. Shushan has cherry tomatoes and vine tomatoes, and Two Guys has shitake mushrooms. Bulich has many kinds of mushrooms and Miglorelli, Norwich, and Paffenroth have many kinds of root vegetables and some greens. D'Attolico has young garlic and sprouts.

Roaming Acres has ostrich, Flying Pig has pork cuts and sausages, Quattro's has poultry, including ducks and geese, and Northshire has good-looking ducks. Hudson Valley Duck farm also has tasty fresh ducks as well as delicious charcuterie. Cayuga has addictive ale bread, delicious whole wheat bread, grains, beans, and oils. Rose Meadow has beautiful roses on sale today.
