Young Ginger Fans, Mountain View Farms has their first crop of young ginger today at Bloomingdale Farmers Market (Sunday 9-1), 14&U (Saturday 9-1) and Penn Quarter (Thursday, 3-7). Short season, VERY time consuming to grow, so very few farmers bother.

And yes, it is SO much better than the older stuff we find in grocery stores.

There was an article in the WaPo last year, I think, since it's caught on at small farms around here as yet another way to distinguish inventory from produce at the supermarket, especially since it benefits from being so fresh. About three months in the greenhouse, I think, one farmer told me. Four? At any rate, New Morning Farm, Tree & Leaf and Next Step Produce bring the total up to five in S PA, VA, W Virginia & MD to mention here as farms that bring young ginger to local markets.
