I've looked at Whole Foods and our Natural Grocer here in Denver..can't find it (frozen or fresh). I recall seeing it this past summer but have not seen it since. I guess I will wait for the farmer markets to re-open in May.

I've been checking all of my local grocery stores (and even driving a ways) for rhubarb, nada. As soon as i start seeing it, i'll probably buy it in bulk, chop it into two cup portions and foodsave and freeze it. Won't have to worry about it next winter!

Great idea! I will keep looking as well...the one place I have not gone is Safeway, so I will check there next.
Small world, we use to live in North Attleboro but now live in Dartmouth MA. We love Trader Joe's, normally go to the one in Hyannis, think there is one in Warwick RI also.

Very small world. I am in Dartmouth too, there are quite a few of us from right around this area. I think we fight over some of our favorites at Market Basket . I will have to checkout the Trader Joe's in Hyannis, I didn't know there was one there. I haven't been for many years (used to go to Framingham when I lived out that way).

You're in RI, right? Are there ShopRite's in your area? My local one carries it, and they store it next to the frozen, chopped bags of onions.

Worth a shot!
Yup, i'm in Rhode Island. I have a Shop Rite about 30 minutes from me. I stopped in a while back, but no frozen rhubarb. I scoured their veggie and fruit section to no avail. However, they do have a pretty decent selection of WF, so i picked up a few of those. I'm going to call the closest Whole Foods and see if they can order me a case of rhubarb (and see how much it costs).
I hope those of you who are having difficulty finding it can get a hold of some! I am really enjoying rhubarb sauce mixed with the raspberry jello as a bedtime snack on nights when I want something warm and comforting.
Just FYI for anyone interested
In the meantime, today's rhubarb is made with plain gelatin and Mio
I like to stew my rhubarb in the microwave with WF strawberyy syrup and I add Knox which I dissolve in water first for rhubarb jello. I little WF marshmallow cream mixed in is good also.
I also cooked mine in the microwave last night with WF strawberry syrup. Instead of mixing with jello, I let it cool and blended it with IP strawberry pudding, ice, and extra water. It was delicious, even my bf wanted some lol.
My Whole Foods has it by the frozen vegetables, as it is a vegie. Another store a little way over has it by the fruit. So check both. They also go out of stock regularly.
My Vons (Safeway) has fresh rhubarb. I've been buying them out every other week, cut into pieces then freeze in big ziplock bags.
