Finally, after months of potatoes, onions and winter squash, things are looking more green around here! If you haven’t been to the farmer’s market these days, you might be surprised at how much fresh local produce is finally in season — in New York for example, you’ll find asparagus, baskets full of fresh herbs, spring onions, ramps, spinach, rhubarb and even strawberries.
