Today’s feature is broccoli!
Did you know that broccoli continues to be our best seller? Sometimes we have a whole rack of broccoli ready for you on Saturdays, and we still sell out. 😊
Some people like the way that it has a very mild taste and doesn’t change the flavour of whatever dish or sandwich or salad you added it to. Some people like it for its delicate nature, preferring soft crunch to some of the more crisp ones. Broccoli is also one of our most finicky! After much trial and error, Chris found the perfect balance of how many seeds to put in each tray, how long to leave it in the dark to germinate, how much water to give it (hint: different amounts on different days!), and how long it takes from start to finish. Ask him anything today at the market, and you can find out just how much he knows about growing broccoli greens.
Come to Marché des fermiers de Bouctouche Farmers' Market today, from 8am to 1 pm!
