Today, Thursday, May 28, is the official opening of� Greensgrow Farm Market!� From 2-7 p.m.� Thursdays and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays you can head up to Kensington for an all-local lineup of veggies, fruits, grass-fed meats, cheese, bread, eggs, coffee, soaps, hot sauce and more.

Greensgrow has� invited other local food artisans and farmers to vend at their own tables in the market, so there will be an even larger diversity of products than last year.� Look for tasty treats from Meal Ticket crushes Vrapple, Gilda's Biscotti, Patterson Farms Maple Syrup and Blue Water Coffee.

On Saturdays, the Kensington Community Food Co-op Project will be selling bulk grains, dried goods, spices and other pantry staples; all proceeds will go towards their efforts to open a co-operative grocery store in the neighborhood.

After the jump, the produce and product lineup for Thurs., May 28 and Sat., May 30.� Just don't touch the strawberries, they're mine.

Greensgrow Farms, 2501 East Cumberland at Gaul St., 215-427-2702, greensgrow.org
