Happy Spring to all! Whether you're celebrating Passover or Easter or just the hope of a new season, you'll find a variety of local goodness at market on Friday for meals this weekend and beyond. Also, fun treats for Easter baskets — including natural egg dying kits + chocolate bunnies and chicks!
While it is officially Spring, we are still operating on "Winter Season" hours through the end of April — bi-weekly / 3–5pm. Your farmers are super busy tending young crops & flowers in their greenhouses & fields, and we'll be back to weekly markets again in May!
We so appreciate your support through all seasons here at KSQ.
A few notes for 4/2:
- Flying Plow has spinach, arugula, lettuce mix, collards, curly kale, rainbow chard, radishes, and other local products available by PREORDER ONLY still again this week. Order by midnight TONIGHT!
- Get natural, zero-waste egg dying kits from Sundry Mornings!
- A variety of chocolate bunnies + chicks are available from Valentine Chocolate Co.
- Preorders for lamb, ham & standing rib roasts from Canter Hill are highly recommended for your celebratory meals!
