In addition to sending in a lovely asparagus recipe, posted below, The Corvallist also mentioned that Sweet Briar Farms has a stand at the Corvallis Farmer’s Market now, and has “the best linguisa (she’s) ever tasted”. The pork from Sweet Briar Farms has no added hormones and is antibiotic free. Added ‘em to the links & the resources.

According to the really handy chart over at the Heavenly Harvest website, it’s leeks, lettuce and garlic for April. May will bring us more of that, plus herbs, mustard, radishes, and… mmmmm… strawberries! By the way, that photo of the lovely purple cauliflower in the banner was taken at Heavenly Harvest.
Information about CSA boxes will be on this resources page: Community Supported Agriculture I found out that sign-ups for the Gathering Together CSA closed in March, but I’ll keep researching this for the next few days and adding info.
