The unusually chilly spring weather we had last Friday proved to be no problem for the 11 vendors that set up shop at the first Chewelah Farmers Market day of the year. 'Salad Days' lived up to its name, because there were plenty of tender, fresh greens and many other tasty early season vegetables. This Friday is our second installment of 'Salad Days', so be sure to visit the market between 11:30 am and 5:30 pm along the banks of Chewelah Creek at St. Paul Lutheran Church, N. 110 2nd St. W., and see what spring has to offer. If you didn't make it to the Market Cafe for lunch, you missed some great food. Chef Mary Ann will be whipping up delicious fare using local, organic ingredients whenever possible. Last week she had a steaming pot of luscious Cream of Nettle soup. The velvety soup had a flavor reminiscent of asparagus with a little artichoke. It was spectacular. Also on the menu was a Whole Wheat Quesadilla with Raw Milk White Cheddar Cheese and Spinach. Yum! For dessert you could choose between a Ginger-Pear Scone or a Homemade Granola Bar. Be sure and stop by the cafe this week and see what's fresh!
