Sycamore is Back With Strawberries and Sugar Snaps! Beth is doing a demo today from 11:00 to 1 in Union Square Greenmarket!

I was so happy to see Sycamore here today! It's good to have these long-time farmstands back here, especially since I still give them the credit for making Union Square and its surrounding shops the destination place to shop for food and other items. Sycamore, Cherry Lane, and others have strawberries and Locust Grove and Hoeffner have rhubarb! Stokes, Cherry Lane, Hoeffner, and others have asparagus.

Honey Hollow is here with green garlic, mushrooms, and some exotic vegetables. Madura has several kinds of mushroom as well as other produce.
