Rhubarb is here!

Finding the perfect gift for your Mom on Mother’s Day can sometimes be difficult because you want to make sure and show your mom how much you love and care for her and you want to show her thanks for all the years she loved and cared for you. But what is the perfect gift? Let us help you! Gourmet local food gift baskets make a wonderful and unique gift. Almost everyone loves and appreciates the gift of food. We have jars of glistening honey, tasty preserves, pasta, tortillas, hot sauce, salsa, beautiful heritage eggs, basil, rhubarb, jam, salt, bread, cheese, gluten free goodies, greens, dried fruit, chocolate and many more local food goodies!

Highlighting Metchosin Farm: Rhubarb is making its grand appearance at our market tomorrow! It may be a vegetable, but we mostly treat it like a fruit, its tart taste being the perfect foil for strawberries and other sweet fruits. It makes for a delicious stew sweetened with honey and poured over vanilla ice cream…delicious!
