April is typically the first month of the year when many of the season’s first fruits and vegetables are at their peak. Both pricing and flavor is better when buying seasonal produce. Recommended and plentiful in the next few weeks are grapefruit and oranges, artichokes, kale, asparagus, lettuce, spinach, rhubarb, green onions and broccoli. I did see some nice looking strawberries too and tomatoes on the vine at one of the local grocery stores. Outdoor farmers markets also open this month.

Meanwhile, please help support the Vineyard Community Activity Center by getting supper at Wendy?s in Muncy on Monday evening, April 29, 2013 between 5 and 8 p.m. Ten percent of all sales will be donated to the Vineyard which has provided Friday Night Activity Nights for local and surrounding community youth for over 15 years. Two years ago the center relocated to 99 Sherman Street in Muncy.
