The Market is Open!

Good Sunday, Market!

Welp, it looks like we’ve emerged from the heat of Summer and the fog of whatever the heck that was to find ourselves in some just about perfect weather. Some time in the midst of enjoying these gorgeous days, please take 10 minutes to fill out our customer survey if you haven’t yet. We really want to hear your voice on how things are going and things we might do better, and taking the survey will enter you for the chance to win $15 in Food Club credit! The survey will close Wednesday at noon, just like the market. Speaking of which…

• A HUGE market welcome back to Drewry Farms & Orchards. Good luck choosing between their 5 different varieties of locally-grown apples: Golden Delicious, Jonathan, Suncrisp, Gala, and Pinova. They’ve also got beautiful butternuts, nutritious sweet ’taters, gigantic autumn buckskin pumpkins, and delicious homemade salsa. Ah, the tastes of autumn…

• Bulk unshelled organic purple hull peas from Crimmins Family Farm. Get 5 lbs. of organic purple hull peas at a price that can’t be beat and then invite some friends over for an old-fashioned shellin’ party. Throw ’em in a pot with some Falling Sky Farm bacon and you’re good to go!

• There’s a new eggman in town, and he’s USDA certified organic! It looks like the hens at Green Acres Atkins get about as good a diet as all of us, all while getting to graze under the protection of chicken tractors.

• New colors of suds savers from Homayd Natural Care Products. Use these homayd savers to get every last bit out of one of her lavender tea, milk and honey, or butter bar body soaps.

• I had a great time at Pop Up in the Rock: Park Hill yesterday. It was so great seeing so many people come together to show the potential of a community, including our very own Geek Eats with the. most. amazing. gourmet. deli. sandwiches. ever. I’m going to beg the head geek to keep making more, but in the meantime, we’ve still got his wonderful selection of hummus, pesto, and granola.
