Arugula


Salad Greens


Tomatoes

This week our seasonal focus on local growers begins in earnest. Look for beautiful Harmony Valley certified organic products like gorgeous spinach, bulk mixed baby salad greens, and fresh bulk and bunched arugula. Not to be overlooked is one of our favorites, Harmony Valley's packaged Sauté Mix, full of variety young greens.

We already offer green top red radishes from Harmony Valley and French Breakfast Radishes and broccoli raab and fresh bunched cilantro may be here as soon as Sunday.

The Tomato King, of Albany MN, just started delivering fresh cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and his heirloom variety tomatoes.

Local asparagus is still on the scene for a couple more weeks. We're featuring spears from Keewaydin Farm in Wisconsin and Rock Spring Farm in Iowa. Get it while it lasts.

You can look forward to fresh lettuce crops sometime near the end of next week. The first flush of local lettuce will come from Featherstone Farm (down in Rushford, MN). Enjoy the fresh tastes of red leaf, green leaf, romaine and butter lettuces.
