Why Farmers Love the Markets!
"We'll be selling lettuce heads, mesclun mix, mustard mix, braising mix, arugula, pac choi, and spinach, which we grow in an unheated greenhouse, along with vegetables grown in our field under low tunnels," said Jan Johnson of Mill River Farm. "It's not easy to grow greens in December and I'm pleased that we're finally making it work. Now we just have to sell them. The retail opportunity presented by the Berkshire Grown markets is really important to us."
