You've heard of green onions, but do you know about green garlic? 🧄

Green garlic is the same garlic plant that we all know and love, but harvested before it's fully matured. Where green onions provide what could be described as a sweeter, more mild onion flavor, green garlic doesn't hold anything back. Similar in taste to garlic scapes, this young garlic will have a slight onion taste in addition to its strong, garlicky flavor. Add it to your scrambled eggs, spring pesto, or whatever else your heart fancies.

What's your favorite spring produce item? 🌸 We've got 'em all at the markets, with new seasonal crops coming in every week. We hope to see you at the Boulder Farmers Market this Saturday from 8AM to 2PM and at the Longmont Farmers Market from 8AM to 1PM.

📸 Green garlic harvested at The Jolly Radish. Their green garlic is available at our Wednesday evening market and through our online store!

Time to turnip for local food at the Boulder Farme

Time to turnip for local food at the Boulder Farmers Market tonight. 🌱🍻 🎶

Did you know that you can eat hakurei turnips raw? While similar to radishes, these turnips are far less bitter and give a sweet, juicy crunch when you bite into 'em. They can also be sautéed, roasted, and added to nearly any vegetable dish.

Stop by the Boulder Farmers Market tonight from 4 to 8PM get your weekly-dose of farm-fresh food, grab a beer from @fritzfamilybrewers, and enjoy dinner from local chefs. See you tonight!
