Time: 8:00am - 1:00pm

Location: 704 South 2nd Street

Today's Theme at the Mill City Farmers Market: 

Spring Ephemerals

“Spring Ephemerals” refer to any early quick growing stalk or shoot or leaf that emerges from the cool earth early in the season.  It is said that these greens have an especially cleansing effect on the body after a winter of consuming heavier, richer foods, which tend to leave the body more congested. Wild greens, for example, yield extremely high percentages of vitamins and minerals compared to any domesticated plant we can grow.

PRODUCE PLANNER: spring ephemerals, baby lettuces, baby bok choy, radishes, arugula, spinach, herbs, salad turnips, rhubarb and more!
