Published 3:28 pm Wednesday, May 18, 2011

Local produce is coming in to Polk County farmer’s markets with particular items available now.

Shiitake mushrooms, new potatoes, collards, lettuces, chard, onions, garlic and kale are covering tabletops alongside fresh eggs, meats and breads. Crafters and value-added producers are always a mainstay. Pets who bring their shoppers to market are invited to stay in a supervised pet-sitting area.
