Strawberries on sale at Farmers' Market

Strawberries

The big news at today's farmers' market is the appearance of those tasty harbingers of summer: Strawberries! A couple farm stands are selling them for $6 a quart, and the taste is pure heaven.

Strawberries

In addition to the berries, the market is overflowing with lots of good eats, including all manner of greens such as kale, Swiss chard, bok choy, beet greens, arugula and lots and lots of lettuce. You also can pick up seedlings and flowers, plus things like baby turnips, radishes, eggs, pork, honey, jams, maple syrup, olive oil and those greenhouse tomatoes from Olivia's Garden.

Angela Adams market bags

And should you need a stylish tote to carry all your market goodies home, then swing by this table and pick up a fun Angela Adams' canvas bag. It's a locally-made bag up to the task of handling Maine's finest farm fresh food.

The Wednesday Portland Farmers' Market goes until 2 pm in Monument Square. If you miss it, head over to Deering Oaks Park on Saturday from 7 am -noon.
