Market at the Square
Corner of Illinois & Vine St.
Urbana
Yep, it's strawberry season.
This weekend, the Market will have several vendors selling different
varieties of these totally luscious berries. Check rows 1, 2, and 4 of
the Market. Time for shortcake! And muffins! And jam! And...!Other produce:
asparagus, peas (snow and sugar snap), salad mixes and lettuces,
spinach, rhubarb, hydroponic tomatoes, pickling cukes, fresh herbs,
chard, radishes, and I'll be danged if we don't see some blueberries
lurking (arrive early).Last week's Sprouts event
was a success, with many kids learning about (and tasting!) seasonal,
local food. When one of your Sprouts informs the workshop leader that
her favorite vegetable is arugula, you know you need to be on your
game. It was a good time, and we have more good times scheduled - the
next Sprouts event will be on July 25, and of course we'll post
information well in advance. |
