Also: kohlrabi, lots of plants, a wide variety of mushrooms, radishes, pea greens, bok choi, little turnips, lots and lots of asparagus, the very end of last season's apples, Roos coffee, Carol's snow cones. (Noted but not purchased.)

It's too soon for strawberries and sugar snap peas.

Ann Arbor Farmers Market report for 2020-05-20

I got: rhubarb, green onions, croissants, broccolini, spinach. Also seen but did not get: kohlrabi, chard, asparagus, green garlic, lots of plants.

Good to see @matth there.

John Roos has a new bicycle, and at Bike to Work Day on Friday the Common Cycle crew helped him tune up the Roos Roast Coffee Trike.

Lots of bicycles there, enough to fill the nearby racks.

At Ann Arbor Farmers Market

Rhubarb! From Wasem's.

Also green onions, purple daikon radish.

I am told that the asparagus vanished soon after it appeared when the market opened at 700a.

Afterwards, a lovely cardamon cortado at Roos.

Ann Arbor Farmers Market report for Saturday 2023-04-29

Lots of lettuce and other greens

Last year's apples and carrots and such

The usual assortment of prepared foods and baked goods and frozen meats

Local forecast: 2 weeks away, there has been some cold and wet weather. The produce manager at the food coop said that Canadian rhubarb is available but pricey so they are going to wait a bit.

I will ask about next time, no sign this time.

letting a phone charge a bit, then off to Farmers Market on bike, dodging the graduation-related traffic.

What I am on the hunt for is early season rhubarb! In past years my early reports have been 1st or 2d weeks of May, so it might be a tad early.

I have strict instructions not to buy any greens, as we currently have a surplus of salad at home from a potluck. and last week's apple cider (very much end of season) was not so tasty so I'll skip that too.

At Ann Arbor Farmers Market, the report was of 6 vendors braving the bitter cold. I saw two of them, and bought pie bites from one and pierogi from the other. Brr!

Ann Arbor Farmers Market for Saturday, 2022-12-17.

Blue squash (Hubbard but smaller?), cabbage, endive (frisee), ruby chard, Honeycrisp apples, ham and brie croissant.

People's Food Coop has a couple of sales going on including several 2-for-1 specials on pasta and sauce, and $15 extra when you buy a $100 gift card.

Don't use an axe to cut open a Hubbard squash, the axe will bounce off the squash. Throw it down the stairs instead to crack it open.

At early (for me at least).

Cabbage, tomatoes, apple cider, Ida Red apples, stuffed grape leaves, sweet banana peppers, kale, acorn squash, and a ham-and-brie croissant.

Catherine Street is open again, and while the new separated bicycle lanes look done, they are still barricaded off for now.

I didn't have any problem finding anything that I was looking for, but there were a few regular vendors that weren't there - I guess the season is tailing off.

Farmers market: plums, chocolate croissant, ham and swiss crossaint, red potatoes, kale, green onions.

We'll have the kale and green onions tonight, cooked with a little sweet corn. The croissants are breakfast and second breakfast. The potatoes will keep until they are needed. Not sure yet about the plums.
