If you are spinach or kale or bok choy, you really, really do not like cold near zero. If your grower has protected you and kept you from freezing to a crisp, you are still unhappy and refuse to grow.
The result? No spinach or kale or bok choy in the vendor booths at the Wake Forest Farmers Market last week. Greens lovers are hoping the current milder weather will mean they can buy some of their favorites at this Saturday’s market, Jan. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Regardless of the greens situation, you will find a wonderful array of meats, everything from Andouille sausage to rabbit, and there are the fresh ground coffee, the cheese, the eggs, the knitted goods, the wooden stools and tables – and always a surprise of some kind.
The market is open with winter hours, 10 a.m. to noon, every Saturday through December, January, February and March. Its permanent location is the OneCare Inc. parking lot along North White Street behind CVS.
Keep track of all the hours, all the events and all the vendors on Facebook or at www.wakeforestfarmersmarket.org.
