Sprouts Planting Seeds!

Warm and sunny weather is expected for the Market this weekend - perfect for shopping for grillables and salad fixings, and for bringing your favorite Sprout to the Market to learn about seeds.

The Market continues to benefit from gorgeous weather on the weekends - and our growers will be offering an abundance of fresh, locally-grown produce, flowers, and plants, including flower and vegetable starts - and maybe some other plants, too) for your home garden. Come check out the selection, and make sure to hit all five rows of the Market - prepared food vendors, artisans, musicians, and community organizations are also major components to our Market this and every season.

A few examples of the produce you can expect this weekend include lettuce, spinach, salad mixes, broccoli, chard, green onions, baby carrots, leeks, radishes, turnips, and the two crown jewels of the season, asparagus and strawberries. There may be a few other surprises, too, so have a look through each row to make sure you're not missing anything.

Weather this weekend: The forecast high for Saturday is 88 degrees (hot!), with sunny, sunny skies. Bring water, a hat, maybe even some sunscreen so your visit to the Market is enjoyable. You can check here for an updated weather forecast.
