A Trip To Sewickley!

Pisarcik Greenhouse & Flower Farm At Sewickley Farmers' Market

LFLF made a loop on Saturday.  We needed something to take to a poetry reading & potluck lunch nearby & I knew that the Sewickley Farmers' Market was open for the season.  They would certainly have some delicious baked goods!  I picked up some great cookies and then did a little shopping for myself.

The flowers & herbs were really nice and there were also tomato plants at the market if you're in the mood to coddle them for another month!  :)

Gray Farm Mushrooms

We picked up some mushrooms at the Gray Farm booth and then got some pea shoots at the Dillner Family Farm booth.

Dillner Family Farm Produce

Several other vendors were there with lettuce & greens, honey, beef, and yarn!  Of course all of the prepared food vendors were out in force!  It turned out to be a nice day after early morning rain ...

Cherry Valley Organics - Soaps & Lip Products

Cherry Valley Organics had a very nice selection of personal care products in addition to the herb & veggies plants offered today with more organic produce as the season progresses ...
Speaking of the season progressing, the folks from Brown's Pure Maple Products said that they had a late start to the season this year.  Normally finishing around the 1st of April, they went a week longer with their maple taps up in Venango County ... everyone seems to be a week or two behind this spring.

Here's a close-up of the maple syrup products ... too many to fit in one picture!

Good Stuff At Sewickley Farmers' Market!

Exchange At The Sewickley Farmers' Market!

LFLF went to the Sewickley Farmers' Market this morning specifically to get some notecards from the Karen Sandorf Gallery.  Her email blast said she'd be there under the green striped umbrella, so mission accomplished.  We picked out some new cards that include native Pawpaw & Sugar Maple illustrations & recipies.   The Sewickley market is known for having an ecclectic collection of goodies and today did not disappoint!  We got some great biscotti & lady locks, then headed around the market picking up produce.

Clarion River Organics Heirloom Tomato Selection

We picked up some red & yellow organic pear tomatoes from Clarion River Organics.   You can just see the beautiful eggplants and squash blossoms with their Heirloom Tomatoes in the picture above.

Ground Cherries & Tomatillos From Clarion River Organics

LFLF came home with some staple veggies - sweet corn, green peppers, cucumbers, & garlic.
Of course, the garlic was a world of it's own too! We came across a wonderful display of garlic varieties from Enon Valley Garlic.

Enon Valley Garlic - More Garlic!

When you buy a clove, it's packed in a little paper bag with the variety name written on it. Many customers buy this locally raised garlic to plant in their own gardens.  LFLF selected "Polish" garlic today ........
