The Carlton County farmers market is going strong in both locations now: Tuesdays 4-6 p.m. in Carlton at the Four Seasons Center, and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Cloquet in the Premiere Theatres parking lot. New produce is showing up each week: carrots, beets, broccoli, cucumbers and snap peas should be available this month, as well as salad mixes and microgreens. Garlic scapes, which are the flower stalk of the garlic plant and taste like mild garlic, are available now, so get them while you can.

Most of us probably think of produce when we think of farmers markets, but thanks to Minne...
