Saturday at the Market

This Saturday at the market it was finally sunny and warm, so the steady crowd of the last few rainy sundays was multiplied by three. This Saturday Snake Hill Farms sold Sorrel (A lemony, bitter plant that can be used in soup), Ramps (Wild Onions we had dug out of the forest ground on Friday) and meat and syrup as usual. The current most popular cut of meat is called a Flat Iron Steak. We only had two left. It seemed like every person buying meat first asked about the Flat Iron Steak, and then looked around for the next best thing when we told them we were out. This week we put out the Garden Bratwurst sausage to sample, and within the first two hours they were all gone. The sorrel also sold out, but the ramps stayed because a man further down the row was selling his ramps for half the Snake Hill Price. Our sweet little sponsor was very annoyed. One person lowering there prices really changes the overall market feeling between the producers. Still, the Snake Hill farm sold a lot of beef and syrup and the leftover ramps will be put to good use in Savery's kitchen.
