Northumberland in April...
Early spring rather than winter is perhaps the low point for local produce in Northumberland.
The new lambs are in the fields - although there is some lowland lamb for eating, the Northumbrian Hill lamb won't be ready till August or September.
It's the end of the winter veg but the early summer veg isn't really ready yet - most of the veg producers are selling bedding plants, but you'll find some early lettuce, herbs etc.
The hens and ducks are laying well, though - there are plenty of eggs to be had.
And of course - there are always the great Northumbrian cheeses, ham, bacon, sausages - not to mention conserves and chutneys.
