This week at market

This week at market we'll have fresh pea shoots, grown by Farmer Jon at TapRoot Farms.  These freshly harvested tender pea plants are a great addition to soups, salads, stir-fries, or even on their own as a snack.  They taste like fresh summer peas and are packed with nutrition: a great way to eat your greens, even in the middle of winter!  

 

March is Nutrition Month and our crunchy and locally grown apples are a great bring-along snack or lunch accompaniment.  Check out some more simple suggestions for eating apples here: http://nogginsbloggin.blogspot.ca/2015/02/march-is-nutrition-month.html

See you at the market!

 

For HP, VG/QEII, and Seaport markets:

Registration is still open for the TapRoot Farms year-round CSA with deliveries beginning in April - weekly boxes of veggies or fruit that you can pick up at the market!  Consider supporting a farm and joining a community shared agriculture program this year.  http://taprootfarms.ca/
