Five bushels of edible pod peas, still warm from the sun.
Twelve flats of strawberries, surrounded by a cloud of sweet perfume.
Crisp lettuce, like huge, ruffled, green roses, lined up patiently in a crate.
A pile of curling garlic scapes, like the discarded jewelry of faeries, ready to add garlicky flavor to anything cooking in the kitchen.
A wagon loaded with forty pounds of strawberries, picked by three generations!
The last of the asparagus: short, tender and sweet, like a final good bye from Spring.
They all disappear one by one, in the hands of a steady stream of fruit and vegetable lovers. Our customers!

Baked Goods from Greg'ry's, Bergen, NY
Aside from the beautiful produce coming in on this beautiful day, I am excited to share the news with you that we are once again carrying baked goods from Greg'ry's Bakery in Bergen. For years we sold rows of their delicious fruit-filled pies, stacks of cookies and plenty of loaves of bread. Once again our display is full of their high quality treats. (I have spent the entire morning resisting the urge to try one of everything! Now I just have to make the choice between giant cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, scone or a little strawberry rhubarb pies...what to pick...). Stop by on any Friday, Saturday or Sunday and savor a treat from Greg'ry's!
