Seasonal Limbo
So here’s a hilarious weekly fax from one of the farmers we work with Guy Jones. His punchlist of this week’s offering underscores the awkward disconnect between the weather and the seasonal produce available. Farming season is at a low during March and early April in the northeast and when warm weather kicks in it’s hard to not want to just eat all the asparagus, ramps and fava beans you can get your hands on. If you’re truly supporting local farming then you’ve still got jerusalem artichokes….well at least for another week or so. New York Magazine’s Blog had a great nod to this issue last week with a recipe by Mario Batali.
