14th & U Farmer's Market, Saturday, June 1, 2013, and every Saturday until November 23

From the MHNA listserv:

It just takes a few 90 degree days to turn on all the summer vegetables who have been holding back in the chilly Spring we have been having. Where do I start?

Sugar Snap Peas, Sweet Garden Peas, just dug baby Yukon Gold potatoes, Leeks, baby zucchini with their flowers, sweet Candy Onions, Spring Onions, Green Garlic and Shallot scopes, Spinach, Broccoli rabe, Green Kale, Toscano Kale, Redbore Kale, Baby Beets, Turnips, Sweet Hakurei Salad Turnips,

The Northern Neck strawberries are slowing down but the Pennsylvania berries are taking their place -- look for Sweet Charlies, Earliglows, Ovations and Chandlers. Asparagus too. And don't forget the rhubarb

Strawberry rhubarb, chocolate pecan pies, chard with roasted garlic and goat cheese quiche are at Whisked. Panorama has a double decker table of Damien's Breton and Parisian pastries and breads.

Peonies, poppies, hanging baskets, hundreds of potted herbs and vegetables and summer flowers.

Grillers: tons of steak at Pecan Meadow and lots of NEW cuts of pork like Porterhouse and the Porcine version of New York Strip. (Ask Truck Patch). Sausages at both. Lamb, goat, rabbit, duck, Eggs from chickens, ducks and geese.

We welcome SNAP/EBT, WIC, Cvc, Senior and Produce Plus and match them with bonus dollars. We are part of the Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program. Martha's Table is our gleaning partner.
