It’s a long wait for April. With the official Broadway Farmers Market taking a winter’s nap, the gentle farm folk from Local Roots are holding a “rogue” market on Sunday to do what they can to get some Snoqualmie-sourced nutrients into Capitol Hill bellies:

We’ll be out on Broadway this Sunday, Feb. 3, from 11-noon, parked in front of the main entrance to Seattle Central Community College. 

Most of our leafy crops have bounced back from the freezing weather, and we have a limited supply of greens in addition to our carrots and parsnips.

To pre-order, please send me an email. We will fill orders as they arrive, so the earlier you reply the better your chances of getting some kale!

– Lacinato Kale $3/bunch

– Red Russian Kale $3/bunch

– Red Beets $3/bunch

– Purple cabbage: Medium heads (~1 lb) $3, Large heads (~1.5 lb) $4

– Brussels Sprouts $5/pound

– Bolero carrots – large, sweet and very crunchy, best for long-term storage: $2/pound

– Nelson carrots – our “standard” carrot that everyone loves. Very sweet, will keep for a few weeks in the fridge. $2/pound
– Parsnips – $3/pound – 5# for $12 – 10# for $20

Local Roots is Capitol Hill-rooted, by the way. Farmers Jason Salvo and Siri Erickson-Brown commute to Carnation from their Capitol Hill apartment to till the earth. Sounds like a good life. Get a bite of it for yourself this weekend.

Meanwhile, look, baby chicks:
