Only 16 Days!

Only 16 days until the Columbia Farmer's Market opens!
http://www.columbiafarmersmarket.org/
Opening Day is Saturday, March 20, 2010. There should be scallions, broccoli, lettuces, cauliflower, and herbs, and of course all of the year-round products that are usually available. The seasons always seem to change at just the right time and this is good because I am very tired of winter weather and winter foods and am ready for some spring!

Unfortunately, there are still two more months until the CSA shares start rolling in . . . but the time will fly by, especially for me since I will be on my surgery rotation until then. The CSA should just be getting started when I'm finished with surgery so that will be a nice treat at the end of two hard months. Don't forget to find and sign up for your own CSA:
