These longer days mean that the spinach is growing.  We were a bit late planting this last fall in our greenhouse.   Things were good until mid-November when growth just stopped.  The lack of daylight along with the low intensity of the sun's rays means plant growth slows to an imperceptible level.  A quick peak into the greenhouse the other day, however, shows that the spinach made it through the coldest part of winter in this unheated space and is beginning to grow new leaves.  We hope to harvest these greens in mid to late March. 
         Our next crop of pea shoots is ready for harvest.   These are delicious in salads or in a quick stir fry.  They taste like sugar snap or snow peas.  A great reminder of early summer flavors. 



            We'll be offering our own Micro Greens, local eggs including fresh eggs,  more Honeycrisp apples from Carter Hill Orchards in Concord, NH. and Vt. & N.H. cheeses. 
        We'll be stocked with Good Loaf artisan breads & Star Lake Farm beef and pork are available. MacNamara milk in glass bottles, Rocky Cannoli's pies (Red Barn Farm) and Marcia's Cakes.
