**March Blog 2026**

Celebrating everything green this month. Especially veggies! And who knew there was such a thing as green lavender! (Ask AZ Ranch) With springtime rains, market greens are especially sweet, tender and extraordinarily tasty from collards to kales and Swiss chard as well as dandelion greens, mustards and arugula. Not to mention the amazing fresh fragrant herbs to explore like parsley, cilantro, dill, mint, and more.

Join us for exciting events at both markets starting with a special event on March 1 at Main Street with guest food systems author, Nancy Matsumoto, plus the Laura Jean Music Academy and kid activities on the lawn and on March 7 it’s the Pico Mini Spring Fest with music and activities for the kids!
