Market Updates

We are deep into root vegetable season, with Chantenay carrots, Yellow Kimbe carrots, and Purple Dragon carrots all available.  You are probably already using the well-known Macomber turnip, truly unique to Massachusettes, but have you done anything with native Quince yet?  Now is the time to poach and preserve them, so you can enjoy them now (a puree with crispy duck?) and later (as a gelee with foie gras on the New Year’s Eve menu?) or as a dessert (poached with Heilala vanilla beans and served with spice cookie crumble and boozy rum raisin ice cream?)  You know.  Stuff like that.

Also noteable: Rising C Ranch’s winter citrus has begun: finger imes (below) now in, along with fresh green yuzu.  Coming this weekend- 1st of the season varigated pink lemons and a limited amount of Makrut limes!  More sneak peeks at new arrivals this weekend: baby purple brussels sprouts and Maine sun chokes.  Stay tuned to our instagram to see when Satsumas begin- we are waiting for the Owari, our favorite early-season variety, to be ripe ready to pick before we’ll sell them.
