Berried Treasure and Mountain Sweet Berry, neither of whom I saw this morning, both have great small European-style potatoes. And what goes better with potatoes than onions? Paffenroth has many kinds as well as leeks.

Sycamore's last day will probably be next Saturday, although there's a chance that they will be here with pumpkins and other vegetables for another day or two after that.

Berried Treasure is hoping to keep coming on Wednesdays and Fridays until Thanksgiving. Dancing Ewe will be coming in on Fridays with lamb and cheese until the middle of December.
