Glen Farm to celebrate the release of Kristin Nicholas’ newest book Crafting a Patterned Home. Kristin’s farmhouse is inspiringly decorated, with so much color and vibrancy around every corner! Kristin is at Tuesday Market every week selling their farm’s lamb. Stop by their booth to check out the new book!

More and more local food is arriving at the market each week. Last week saw the arrival of radishes, ramps and fiddlehead ferns! If you’re there early this week you might find some asparagus, which has been popping up at roadside stands in the Valley in the last few days. Other local veggies that are available now are spinach, lettuce mix, pea shoots (pictured below), micro-greens and many storage crops from last fall.

We will have a huge selection of plants starting this week with the addition of Bare Roots Farm from Worthington. In addition to Bare Roots, look for plants at Red Fire Farm, Crabapple Farm, Old Friends Farm and Wild Rose Farm. It’s that time of year, get planting!
