Hurray for spring! I was so happy to see that Ochoa Produce had fresh salad greens today. Not only are they beautiful, they taste great too.
It was a chilly, rainy morning but we really need the rain, so I'm not complaining. It was great to see everyone and my son was ecstatic about buying some of Karen's delicious cookies. Today she had oatmeal raisin, oatmeal, and pecan. It seems that her first customer of the morning bought all of the chocolate chip cookies that she brought! I can understand why, they're delicious.
There are a couple of changes this year:
- market hours are changing to 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
- Tasty Fixin's will be participating sporadically and only carrying
perennial herbs, although hopefully Andy will bring along some of his
delicious canned goods
- Dogpatch Nursery won't be participating this year, although hopefully Keith will be around occasionally
Today the following was available at the market.
Baked Goods
- Rhubarb Orange Loaf
- Banana Nut Loaf
- Carrot Loaf
- Apple Loaf
Canned Goods
In addition to her usual
widely varied selection, Karen had the following seasonal favorites:
- Strawberry Preserves
- Strawberry Banana Preserves
- Strawberry Kiwi Preserves
- Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves
