Ladies & Gentlemen, We Have the Year's First Farmer's Market Buy

by Lisa D.

I have been so excited waiting for the farmer's markets to begin that I've been driving past the North Market on busy Saturday mornings, just to see if there was any movement.  Yesterday I was rewarded - it might only be mesclun mix, but it's something.  Today's lettuce comes from Toad Hill Organics, which also provides many items for Alana's restaurant (surely Columbus' premier supporter and instigator of local product usage), including her "house" salad with the Toad Hill Organic greens, carrots, raisins, etc.  Toad Hill had farm-fresh eggs, the beautiful mesclun mix pictured above, spinach and Asian greens for stir-frying available at Saturday's Market.  They were also cooking up scrambled eggs and stir-fry.  For a mostly complete list of Central Ohio farmer's markets, click here.
