I found one of the first crops of rhubarb at the farmer’s market last week at the Crystal Springs stand of Six River Farm of Bowdoinham. I asked how they were able to harvest it so early and the answer was that it was grown on raised beds under cover and an early season for this popular spring fruit sprang forth.
Rhubarb stores well refrigerated, but I couldn’t resist making a pie with these precious stalks right away. I had frozen strawberries from last year’s crop and easily put together a classic strawberry rhubarb pie.
