This Spring's Special

Now that Spring is here and the weather is warmer, why not visit a local farm and pick-up some fresh vegetables and fruits? Spring is an opportunity to eat fresh, organic, and local foods that we missed out on in the dreary winter. Anything fresh and local will guarantee a yummy meal without much cooking necessary.

The New Jersey Department of Agriculture suggests that this season the following are recommended:

Fruits and berries: rhubarb, strawberries

Vegetables: arugula and other tender greens, asparagus, sweet turnips, collards, kale, lettuce, peas, radishes, spinach

Other: maple syrup
