Spring produce is beginning, slowly and then suddenly.  Here’s the outlook:

Now: Equinox Mesclun, Knoll Farms Stinging Nettles and Green Garlic, Brokaw Passion Fruit, Champagne Mangoes, Richter Rhubarb, Muscat Grapes, Greengage Plums

Limited Special: Pink Pineapples!  These have beautiful pink flesh throughout and are quite sweet and delicious.  More perfume than a typical pineapple.

By the weekend: Fresh Green Garbanzos, Fresh English Peas, and Fava Beans

NOT YET:  Knoll Farm Artichokes in about a week.  Sometime in the next two weeks, we expect to see Greg Paul (Stockton) Asparagus, and Wild Ramps.  The outlook on Morels is poor- early-season morels come from China, and even if there were pickers available, they couldn’t be flown in.
