From January through April, the market is held every other Saturday from 9:00-12:00. The market will be indoors in one building, Graham Park Industrial Hall (Building 35), on the following dates: February 8, 22, March 7, 21, and April 4, 18.
During this chilly season, we’re excited about SOUP! Below are a few recipes that are market staff picks for warming up the winter.
For something unique to show off your knowledge of local produce this month, try a black radish. This versatile vegetable can be sliced into matchsticks for a zesty slaw, sauteed in butter until tender, or sliced thinly and dried into chips! Try leaving the black outer skin on or peeling in stripes.
