Lemon Verbena, Frog Hollow Apricots, Native Asparagus

Summer is the best.

Frog Hollow fresh arrival of Peaches, Apricots and Plums this Friday. Lemon Verbena Wednesday, limited quantities.  Fresh arrival of Native Asparagus from Hadley, MA in this morning.  Black Mission are now in pints, and gorgeous.  Rainier cherries are no longer Frog Hollow, but commercial are available.  Bing Cherries in full swing.  Six dozen pullet eggs left for the season- perfect for a weekend special.

Say goodbye to Knoll Farm greens: fava leaves, rapini, pea tendrils, green garlic- all winding down rapidly.  Will be gone before the week is over- menu change time.  Don’t bother with romanesco right now- it’s just not that nice.

Rumor has it:  *limited* quantities of Native strawberries will be available for the next two days, and will likely gap again after that for the remainder of the week.  Knoll Farms *might* pick some Santa Rosa plums for us today, if they think they are ripe enough.  We will know for sure when our shipment arrives tomorrow.  NJ blueberries should begin soon.

86: Spring Dug Parsnips, Ramps, NJ Asparagus

Also happening: We will be out on the town for the next two days with Benjamin Butler, the miller and pasta maker from Hayden Mills, in Arizona.  In case you missed it, these folks mill heirloom semolina and flour to order for us from varieties such as Blue Beard Durum, and White Sonora Wheat.  Call us if you’d like a visit!
