Sewickley Farmers' Market Today!

LFLF was in the Ambridge/Sewickley area this morning and we made a stop at the Sewickley Farmers' Market.  We first visited this market in 2008 and things are still going strong.   There are lots of local food & value-added food product vendors, but of course, the produce farmers are the backbone of any market.  We got strawberries, snow peas, cucumbers, & Pennsylvania maple syrup.  Cabbage, lettuces, onions, garlic, rhubarb, basil, & other herbs were in abundance! 
This market has a couple of greenhouse growers, so new summer squash, zucchini, and greenhouse tomatoes were also available.  More of our area growers are using high tunnels & greenhouses to try & satisfy the market for fresh local veggies early in the season.
Sewickley is a great place to buy local beef, lamb, chicken, & chevon. 
Our friend Lynne of Dream Thyme Farm sells lamb & chevon and has a message to all the eaters out there!
