Fiddleheads, asparagus and ramps!
Itâs late May, and spring is happening for real in the 413. No more False Spring, Foolâs Spring, Mud Season or the Ides of Dirty Snow.
You can tell, because the produce departments at Berkshire Food Co-op and Wild Oats are ramping up for the parade of fresh vegetables that are poking out of the warm earth regionwide.
âIt s almost like my taste buds come out of hibernation,â says Devorah Sawyer, a sworn veggie lover and marketing manager at the co-op in Great Barrington.
The way she figures it, lots of people eat the same way in the dead of winter: tons of carbs, cheese and not a lot of color.
