It’s that time again – time for ramps, the infamously smelly wild garlic that is a cultural favorite in the Appalachian region. Ramps have a short growing season, and once it is over, people have to wait until the next spring to get their ramp fix.
Ed Cooper of Eleanor, who operates a roadside stand near the Winfield bridge on the Eleanor side, is selling these springtime delicacies. The ramps are grown in Snowshoe, and Cooper will be selling them until the season ends near the last part of April.
