What's Happening at the Boulder Farmers Market Today

As to be expected this early in the season, among the farm stands, spinach, braising mix, potatoes, and onions still predominate, and last week's list of what's being sold at my favorite farms is pretty much unchanged. The big news is that Black Cat, as in chef Eric Skokan's organic farm that supports the ultimate farm to table restaurant concept, has joined the market. In addition to the usual spinach and braising mix, they're offering some more exotic choices, including chervil, mache, and burdock root. In other news, Miller Farms had asparagus, and I was excited to see sorrel added to the offerings at Red Wagon Organic Farm. Will have to look up how to make a sorrel sauce for tomorrow's grilled fish. The prepared foods vendors are in full swing, and the crowds are still easy to walk through, unlike the summer crush, so it's a good time to get to the market.
