Arugula is growing great!

Our first planting of arugula is growing well now and we have another planting outside that will also take off if we are lucky enough to have sunshine this week!!  We should have some at the market next week.  It will be our first week outside.  The NGFM will be in our usual location north of JC Penney's in the parking lot.  We've extended hours this year --- we'll be outside from 8 am to 1 pm every Saturday thru October 29.  
Arugula ready for the picking!!

Arugula is a flavorful green that adds some spice to salads, sandwiches or homemade pizza.  The flavor is a little peppery and something you either crave or shy away from --- there usually isn't a middle ground.  Fortunately, it's something that we crave so we have some for you to enjoy too. Stop by early to get the first pickings of the season.  It will go fast!

Last weekend for NGFM inside!

April 30 and May 1 are our last dates for inside the mall.  Stop by for pasta and we'll fill you in our plans for the summer garden season.  We have plenty of choices available for a great May Day meal!  Starting May 7, we'll be back outside with the other vendors.  The North Grand Farmers' Market has extended our hours for this year.  We'll be in our usual location, north of JC Penney's from 8 am to 1 pm --- an extra hour compared to previous years.  We look forward to seeing you there!
