The Barre Farmers’ Market begins tomorrow!  The market goes from 3-6:30pm, rain or shine… so bring an umbrella to ward off these showers!  It’s downtown in City Hall Park, right in front of the Opera House.  Come out to meet all the vendors and scope out our products!

Littlewood Farm will bring yummy spring greens: lettuce and baby spinach, braising greens and bunched mustards, bunched arugula and cilantro; as well as asparagus and rhubarb, organic dry black beans, and a selection of our organic plant seedlings. The black beans are a really exciting product for me; if you’ve never had “fresh” dried beans, then you’re in for a treat.  They cook up much faster than store-bought dried beans but it’s the taste that really highlights the difference.  They are incredibly creamy and rich!  This year we’re going to be growing a couple different varieties of dry beans and a variety of garbanzos.  I’ll update you on their progress as the season goes on.  For now, we have some gorgeous black beans that Joey grew last year on the farm and we’ll be bringing them to market in 2-cup containers.

We hope to see you there!
