Small selection. Kind of disappointing. Lots of strawberries if that's what you're into.

Just wait. Its too early in the season for local farmers to have much more than honey, asparagus and strawberries. The leafy greens will come out in a few weeks, followed by gorgeous tomatoes and peppers and so on. The sweet spot will be between mid-july to mid-sept.
