Whether you’re planning a Seder dinner or an Easter brunch we hope you will choose the market to purchase your locally grown and made foods!
What’s available at the market this Saturday? Sun Love Farm plans to bring lots of fresh lettuce varieties, such as Little Gems and Butter. These are always popular given their mild flavors and texture. They’re perfect vessels for spring salads!

The Formulas for Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs
Per cup of water use the following:
1 cup chopped purple cabbage = blue on white eggs, green on brown eggs
1 cup red onion skins = lavender or red eggs
1 cup yellow onion skins = orange on white eggs, rusty red on brown eggs
1 cup shredded beets = pink on white eggs, maroon on brown eggs
2 tablespoons ground turmeric = yellow eggs
1 bag Red Zinger tea = lavender eggs
Add one tablespoon white vinegar to every cup of strained dye liquid.
For every dozen eggs, plan on using at least four cups of dye liquid.
