Laurel Farmers' Auction Market

Laurel Farmers' Auction Market AUCTIONS: MONDAY WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAYS . Produce drop off night before 2-8 or morning of 7am-8. You don’t need a broker, and there’s no fee for buying.

Since 1940, “the Block” has been famous for the quantity and quality of its Delaware and Maryland fresh produce. It is one of the oldest and best established produce auction markets on the East Coast. The market operates six days a week from mid-July until mid-September each year, with gates open at 7 a.m. We are busiest during the Delaware-Maryland watermelon harvest, when about 2.3 million water

melons are sold to buyers large and small from all over the east. We also handle cantaloupes, tomatoes, pumpkins, peppers, cucumbers, and many other types of produce. We sell produce in quantities from pick-up truck loads to tractor-trailer loads. Payment can be by cash or approved check. Your fresh produce is delivered immediately to waiting trucks, and truck brokers are available on the grounds, as are annually inspected truck scales.

The base of the green onion you just sliced is still alive — and it’ll regrow in a glass of water on your counter faster than you’d expect.

A few kitchen scraps root so reliably in water that they’re worth saving every time you cook. The yields are small — garnish to handful quantities — but they’re free, fast, and surprisingly satisfying to watch.

🌿 kitchen scraps that regrow in water:

- Green onion — leave about an inch of the white root base, set it in a shallow glass of water. Fresh shoots grow back within a week. The fastest and most reliable regrower in the kitchen — you can harvest and regrow the same base several times before it gives out

- Celery — cut the bottom couple of inches from the bunch and set it in a bowl of water. New leaves push from the center within a week or two. The regrown stalks are thinner than the original but usable — and they’re free

- Romaine lettuce — save the bottom heart, set in half an inch of water. New leaves sprout from the center within a couple of weeks. The second head is looser and smaller — harvest as leaf lettuce, not a full head

- Garlic — place a single unpeeled clove in a small glass with water barely touching the base. Mild garlic shoots grow within a week. The green shoots taste like a cross between garlic and chive — snip and use as a garnish

- Lemongrass — trim the top and place the bulbous root end in a jar with an inch of water. Roots and new stalks form in a few weeks. Once rooted, this one is worth transplanting to a pot — it becomes a permanent supply

🌱 What determines whether this works or not:

- Change the water every day or two — shallow dishes spoil fast and a rotten base kills the regrowth
- Bright indirect light speeds things up. A dark counter works but takes longer
- These are one-round or limited-round projects. The base uses stored energy to push new growth — it doesn’t sustain indefinitely. Green onion is the exception and can go several rounds

The scraps you compost tonight could be growing on your counter by next weekend 🌱
