The strawberries and asparagus and rhubarb and sugar snap peas, all the first-comers of the new growing season, are just now basking in at their first rays of spring sunshine. They won’t be ready for market for another month or two. Until then, here’s a market report from Jessica Douglas, the regional coordinator of the Brooklyn Greenmarkets for GrowNYC (formerly known as CENYC):

Cayuga, who you know already for their beans and whole grain flours, has begun selling loaves of bread that are truly amazing. They also now have All Purpose Flour.

Also, a new arrival at the market, Oak Grove Plantation (Ted Blew, proprietor), will be at the McCarren Park Market for the first time this Saturday, March 27 . Be sure to stop by and welcome him to the market, and pick up a few herbs and plants to get that garden started on your fire escape.

Also, for those of you further south, this Thursday, April 1, is opening day for the Thursday market at Boro Hall. Stay tuned for more details!
