On another, farming-related note the previous Saturday was the first farmer’s market on the square. The Dane County Farmers’ Market is a summertime Saturday tradition in Madison. It is quite possibly the country’s largest producer-only market and features a rotating variety of seasonal vegetables, flowers, and specialty products from approximately 150 vendors every time. All of the items are produced in Wisconsin!
My partner and I went and I bought ramps! Ramps are a very ephemeral crop harvested only in spring. They have a strong garlic odor but taste like onions. While ramps have been very popular in the upper Midwest and the central Appalachian Mountains for a very long time, they are now becoming popular in epicurean restaurants across the country.
