Spring ramps fresh

Prices fluctuate throughout season

Fresh wild ramps (wild leeks) are one of the treasures of Spring. These wild members of the allium family are often called wild leeks. The taste is bright and fresh with a distinctive taste of garlic and onion (two of the best flavors rolled into one). If you don’t live in an area where they grow in the wild you have probably never had the opportunity to enjoy them. The Appalachian states celebrate the arrival of ramps with festivals in their honor. This is your chance to try ramps–but hurry–they won’t last for long. Then it is back to grocery store green onions.

The best part is that you might as well add that extra pound of mushrooms, a bottle of truffle oil, some pasta or your favorite "pantry staples" because the shipping costs may not even change!
