In honor of our Strawberry Festival Dan King will have a special on strawberry pies: $4 each, 2 for $7, and small pies for $1, or buy 5, get 1 free. Dan also will offer his famous BBQ ribs and chicken.
More goodies in store: Justin Naylor --homemade pasta, granola, bread, blueberry muffins, spinach, and lettuce.

The Somerton Farm folk (some combination of Kathy, Andrea, Laurie, Nicole & Steve) will have radishes: icicle white (mild, sweet), cheriette (peppery), Easter egg, and D'Avignon. In addition expect to find broccoli raab, Japanese turnips, Asian greens, and pea shoots.
Organic farmer John King will be back with greens, kale, collards, strawberries, Amish baked goodies, eggs, yogurt, canned pickles & peppers and other specialties from his Lancaster County canners.
Dave of Wilmington's Big Sky Bread will have a variety of fruit and yeast breads for us to try, as well as croissants, cookies and granola.
Bob Fahnestock will continue to have asparagus and tomatoes, along with more fresh basil that his son Dave decided to grow this year.
