Been sick so haven’t been able to make it, what’s price range this year?

Regier were $6.50/lb

IIRC we were at $6/lb last season so not crazy. Saw them this morning at Farmshop for $8/lb so that’s actually not too bad of an markup.

Worth it? Or not yet?

Mine aren’t anywhere near ripe, but will post once I’ve tried them.

I grabbed two varietals from Regier but unfortunately don’t remember the names. I just had one of the bigger varietals which was a clingstone variety and it was surprisingly good for so early in the year. I’ll definitely be grabbing more on Wednesday.

Silly but genuine question: am I looking at an abstract-y representation of the life cycle of a peach?

Thought the market was popping today. Got strawberries from Tamai, some gorgeous snap peas from the one stand that sells pies and meat, cherries from this vendor I hadn’t seen before that was only selling cherries (maybe they were called Erickson?) Most importantly, though, I got first of the season apricots from K&K, so I can make my first apricot galette of the season.

I will have to check out apricots!

the strawberries from gaytan were super sweet today. They sell a half flat for 20 bucks which is a deal given organic tubs at Costco are going for 12ish bucks.

We got cherries from Ken’s that were delicious and the grapefruits aren’t bad still.

didn’t find any good peaches this week but can’t wait for peach season to get underway
