Let the fresh produce start rolling in....

Thanks to Mother Nature, as well as our hard working farmers at Dry Dock Farms and the International Institute here in St. Louis, the fresh stuff is already coming our way! 

If you aren't aware, we are now getting some produce from the International Institute. That means that an urban garden is growing food naturally, without the aid of chemicals, and selling them to an urban market. This is what eating locally is all about! Bringing healthy, fresh food into the community, and look how little distance it has to travel before it ends up on YOUR table. 

Based on conversations with our farmers, this is what I expect us to have on Thursday:

-Asparagus

-Kale

-Collards

-Herbs

-Heads of lettuce

-Beet Greens

-Heads of romaine

-Swiss Chard

-Wavy Green Kale

-Green onions

-Baby Beets

-Spinach

-Cherry Bell Radishes

If you haven't been coming to the market recently, this really would be the week to make a stop. Let's enjoy this gift of early season fresh veggies and greens, as well as this beautiful weather. 

Of course our freezer will be stocked with meat... time to get the grill going if you haven't already. And plenty of canned goods, jellies and jams!

Hope to see you between 11-5 on Thursday!
