Bodhitree's Mint! Mountain Sweet Berry's Ramps!! Hudson Valley Duck Farm's Pet Food!!

There isn't much news today, aside from Oak Grove's TOMATO PLANTS and rumors of asparagus for next week -- maybe!!!! Today there are some new greens, but the main item around the market is flowers -- flowering branches, tulips, roses, anemones, daffodils. It bodes well for Friday and Saturday, when there will be plenty for Spring celebrations.

Hudson Valley's duck pet food patties look good -- treat your dog or cat!!

Beautiful if chilly! Ramps, ducks, elk meat, bison, ostrich!!

It's a smallish but exotic Greenmarket today, with all sorts of special items. In addition to Race's ramps, Hudson Valley Duck Farm's ducks and duck products, Roaming Acres ostrich and emu eggs and bison, pork, and ostrich meat, there are delicious fresh fish (PE&DD), young garlic and shallots (Lani), and all sorts of honey (Andrew's).

I bought flounder, spinach, and baking potatoes (Healthway), as well as gorgeous tulips (Dutchmill). Dutchmill also has herb flats and Phillips and Race have flowering plant flats and produce. Consider Bardwell has their chips and cheese, but didn't bring meat in today. (They'll be here with meats on Friday.)
