This simple rhubarb crisp stirs memories of spring days spent gardening with Dad, harvesting fresh rhubarb for Mom’s favorite recipes.

 

In Maine, the arrival of rhubarb signals the start of spring, bringing a sense of warmth and comfort on cool evenings.

 

Made with tart rhubarb and a buttery oat topping, this dessert is delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 

For the best flavor, pick up rhubarb from local farmers’ markets like Machias Valley Farmers’ Market or the River Valley Farmers’ Market Association in Mexico, Maine.

 

Both markets offer a wonderful variety of fresh produce, local goods, and a chance to support area growers.

 

Enjoying this classic dessert celebrates the bounty—and community spirit—of the Valley.
