Colorado Farm and Art Market in Colorado Springs
This Sunday from 11am to 2pm, we'll be at the Colorado Farm and Art Market at the Cottonwood Center for the Arts in downtown Colorado Springs.  It's at the corner of Colorado and Corona (see map below).  The entrance is on the southeast corner of the building (see the arrow) and parking is on the east side of the building (the lot is circled).


This week's harvest

Did You Know?
As a member of the Allium genus, chives are related to garlic and onion. In fact, A. schoenoprasum is the oldest species of edible onion known and the only member of this genus that grows wild in both the New World (the Americas) and the Old World (Europe, Africa and Asia). The herb pairs well with fish and potatoes and the flowers are used to garnish soups and salads. It is also included in the classic French fines herbes seasoning blend and is an ingredient in tvorog, a type of soft cheese enjoyed in Russia and Poland. (source)
