Sorry for the late and brief run down this week but I didn’t spend as much time at the markets last week as I usually do.
Maybe it’s a tough call, but I personally think the highlight was fennel. Probably a lot more people will pick the ...

Last week, meaning June 11 at the markets, I forgot to mention that the Root Cellar had sugar snap peas.
For the real last week, however, as previously mentioned, I made it only to Maplewood as I was heading to Louisville for the weekend.
The big change was that ...

As previously mentioned, the coolest market happening last week was that Farrar Out Farm is now a regular vendor at Maplewood. I, at least, am glad to have them. I've known the name for years but rarely have the opportunity to get over to Kirkwood ...

Because it's just too exciting to hold onto until next week, the big market news this week will surely be that Farrar Out Farm is now at Maplewood Farmers' Market. A lot of fingers can be uncrossed now.
I spoke to owners Bryan and Christina Truemper briefly about how things ...

In that I typically do this by Wednesday I dropped the ball this week. Thing is, overall at the markets I went to, there was little of new interest to see last week. It was the radishes and lettuces I'd seen before. There are obviously some turnips ...

Wednesday
This week at Maplewood Farmers' Market I made it in time to be one of those people that swept the Our Garden strawberries out from everyone. As I approached the booth there were ten pints and by the time I left the booth there was one. ...

Rumor has it that the Hillebrands have raised one grass-finished head of cattle which they will be selling this Saturday at Clayton Farmers' Market. Rumor also has it that they might be getting into beef next year which raises the question: will they only sell it at Clayton so as ...

Last weekend was Ellie's birthday and celebrating it multiple times in a way that required sleeping in, I made it only to the Maplewood Farmers' Market. And I was incredibly late to boot so I witnessed nothing new, personally.
I hear there was more kale and baby bok choy, and ...

With the sun shining last week,the Maplewood Farmers' Market migrated over to their usual spot and with it a few more vendors arrived.
