In the news for the Farmers-
Asian Produce from Beyond Bok Choy will be back with their fantastic selection of greens and herbs. Picked up a sugar cane last time from them and am now convinced we need a juicer/juice making vendor on site…a new research project. How awesome would that be? Pick up veggies and have them juiced right on site!
Last week from Frutos, one stalk of fresh brussel sprouts for $5 yielded well over 2 quarts. Great tasting and great value.
Visit the Park Fruit stand and pick up some cherimoya. Really rich and creamy, I was blown away by the flavor. Exotic and sweet. Nice for dessert with nothing but a spoon.
I can’t say enough about the flowers…still look fresh 6 days later. Fresh Fruit Juices will be back this week, they were just otherwise engaged last Sunday, but they are back!
We have a new avocado farmer…this week or maybe next. He is waiting for them to ripen! But promises to have a great crop!
In the news for food-
Back…after two weeks out of town, Culinary Coach will be serving up those delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches! Recently featured on Everything Long Beach Chef Gregg Denter talks about cooking at home and the health benefits of knowing exactly what you are eating…check out the article and stop by the market to say hi to the chef, grab lunch, and pick up the veggies for the next week…
If you are entertaining this week, or just like to plan ahead….a couple quarts of pozole is a good call! Visit the Salsa Anytime folks and try the soup!! They have been doing pozole with pork, but thought they would try chicken this week. Check in for a sample!
Another thing to look forward to is the fresh pastries and granola from Shortnin’ Bread! Chef Justina Fenton has got the crust figured out, the best I have ever tasted!!
Stop by the Bixby Books tent and sign up for the All Day Read! I picked up a great book on backyard wildlife last Sunday. It’s amazing how many animals live right here in our neighborhood and how beneficial they are. Sean has got some gems, a very well curated book stand!!
Also, there are assorted bags and back packs from Peru. Handmade in Peru by Erucilia’s sister, traditional designs, soft alpaca and sturdy! Visit her booth and pick up a cozy hat or wrap, and say hello, they are wonderful people!!
I am so grateful all these farmers, chefs and vendors are willing to come and hang out with us, share their wares with us and allow us to shop and support our schools while visiting with our friends and neighbors. Aren’t you? Support the market and bring some friends!
See you out there-
