Maxwell's! Race! Lani! Norwich! These and others have strawberries and other Spring produce!

It's peak season for local strawberries, with many stands having beautiful and tasty varieties. Prices vary, but most are worth the extra dollar, considering the loving care given by our farmers. Several stands also have rhubarb, so pies and shortcake are in order. Or just strawberries cut up over ice cream.

There are also garlic scapes, spring garlic, young leeks, cut herbs, salad greens, and squashes available at Lani's stand and others. Madura is here with mushrooms and other produce and Healthway has interesting potatoes and herb plants.

While I was away, a new poultry farmer arrived in the Monday market, Wildcraft Farms.  Check out his list for the chickens and other birds he's brought today. Roaming Acres has bison, pork, and ostrich. Consider Bardwell has veal. Hudson Valley Duck Farm has ducks, duck parts, and duck products, including rillettes.

To see these and other stands and produce here today: Monday Greenmarket
