Awwww, the warm weather of spring has arrived. After a record breaking winter we are ready for warm weather, ramp digging and trout fishing! Ramp digging, that’s right I said ramp digging! Ramps are a local favorite. It is a wild onion that grows throughout the state and starts to pop up in the spring (mid-March thru April). The ramp is best described as a mix between an onion and garlic with a unique smell. The ramp tends to be a little stinky and is an acquired taste. They are great mixed into a burger, in a salad and with fried potatoes. But there are endless things you can do with them, just treat them as you would an onion. While you are in Tucker County stop by one of the many restaurants, they are usually offering a ramp special this time of year.
