It’s fish in a bag season at Wilson Fish! That’s when you can pick up an entire, whole coho salmon for just $30! That’s a lot of fish for a little money. But they go fast. Get here early!

Here’s another late-season treat: edamame from One Leaf Farm. You enjoy it as a snack when you go out for sushi. Why not enjoy it at home, too! Just boil them, salt them and serve them! Oh, yeah, baby! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Thumbelina carrots are those stubby little orange carrots that Full Circle Farm grows every year. Indeed, Full Circle grows more varieties of carrots than any other farm in the area, from yellow to white to purple to regular old (well, historically speaking, new) orange carrots. So enjoy the carrotliciousness now at Full Circle!
