New Products, Renewed Products, and News!

This time of year, it’s pretty much the norm for fantastic local produce to start ripening faster than we can tell you about it. Come Saturday, I’m sure you don’t want to discover that you missed out of the first ripe tomatoes of the year, do you? So take this opportunity to browse The Market one more time before it closes tomorrow morning. You won’t regret it!

Recent Arrivals:

• I did mention ripe tomatoes, didn’t I? Green Acres Atkins is ahead of the curve with their Certified Organic early girl tomatoes. Pair these sun ripened beauties with American feta from White River Creamery and Japanese cucumbers from Arkansas Natural Produce, and you’re already half way to a refreshing summer salad.

• You know what else comes back every summer? Armstead Mountain Farm! They’re back in action this week with plenty to offer. If you missed out on their beets and broccoli, don’t forget to pick those out first thing next week. In the meantime, there’s plenty of turnips, beet and turnip greens, lettuce mix, snow peas, and shunkyo radishes to go around. Now’s your chance to turn those turnips and greens, along with Irish potatoes from Barnhill Orchards, into a delicious colcannon-esque concoction.

• As we rejoice in the return of the familiar, we’re also welcoming a new farm to our Food Club family. Bee in my Bonnet Farm hails from Scott, and is on a mission to provide a diverse assortment of delicious vegetables and gorgeous flowers, all grown using sustainable, soil building methods. Check out their salad mix, Italian basil, and lemon basil, and get ready to meet owner Katie Beaton this Saturday morning!
