It was truly a magnificent experience. Some very early spring vegetables, great selection of tomato and flower plants (from local family nurseries-unlike anything you can find in the big box stores), local honey, wild greens (the guy selling them told me he walks railroad tracks gathering them-but he will not even hint at the exact location-he was like the morell mushroom gatherers), a small time farmer who butchers his own cattle and will provide any part you want (eg. beef hearts which can never find here in Lower Alabama), etc. I hope to be back there later in the summer for another experience.
