At The Market This Week - May 17th Potomac Village Farmers Market

Check out this week's Market Master's Message for the latest at the Potomac Village Farmers Market.

May 17 At Potomac Village Farmers Market this week you'll find plenty of seasonal veggies and fruits on hand such as spicy arugula, crisp asparagus and sun-sweetened strawberries.

A few lesser know but just as delicious are garlic scapes, the tender flower bud shoots of the garlic bulb and mustard greens, perfect for sautéing or livening up a salad plate.

Alliabaad Farm is back this week with lots of seasonal vegetables. Earlier this spring, Ali's barn burned down, bringing his farm operations to a screeching halt. The fire took the barn and everything in it including farm equipment and the lives of fifty hens. With the help of neighboring farmers, prayers from friends and family, and old fashioned determination, Alliabaad farm is recovering slowly.
