Yesterday I saw the first of the berry people at the Magnolia Farmers' Market. There are plenty of farmers who grow some berries along with their seasonal vegetables--they're less of a commitment than tree fruit, and customers like to see some fruit on the table--but these vendors sell only berries. Their season is short, and their sales are high. Every market administrator I know will give them priority if space is tight because their product is so perishable and they draw extra customers to the market.
Hayton Farms sold out of strawberries yesterday before noon. I hope they're at Ballard again today. Then it'll really feel like summer.
