Taste of the Market? yes, please
|
|
It's hard to believe that we are in the home stretch of the market season. Over the past three months we've made some great friends (with people as well as dogs), and many familiar faces braved the brisk weather and came out to join us. Spirits were high and shopping bags full!
This week at Learn & Grow featured a delicous "taste of the market" where we collected lesser known, obscure and/or delectible treats from our vendors for you to sample and ask us questions. Featured items included the very popular "fiesta bread" from Bennison's, buttscotch cookies from Sweet Atilla's, dressings and dipping sauces from Denny, our versatile honey man, fire-roasted salsa from Tomato Mountain and a gorgeous cornucopia of harvest produce from King's Hill and Midnight Sun Organics.
Every week we are so amazed by the gastronomical knowledge of our market patrons.... they often teach us as much as we teach them. It certainly keeps us on our toes!
Renee from Sweet Organics joins us next week to discuss seed preservation. Hope to see you there!
Hugs & Basil
