Grower Xe Thao  

 

More and more of our growers are coming each weekend, and boy are we excited to see the fresh, locally grown vegetables they're bringing!  Xe Thao and her niece (left) come with beautiful flowers as well as their produce.   

 

Last weekend at different grower stalls we saw fresh sugar snap peas, onions, rhubarb, greens for salads, tomatoes, peppers, and more!   

 

EAT SMART......EAT HEALTHY.....EAT LOCAL

Papa Fierro will have Mango Peach Pico de Gallo This Weekend
Papa Fierro

Mango Peach Pico de Gallo.  Say that 10 times fast!

In addition to his traditional fare, which rivals anything you'll try out there, Papa Fierro will have a limited supply of his Mango Peach Pico de Gallo for sale.  If you haven't yet tried it, you're missing out.

So good that you'll want to come back for more, week after week.  Fresh.  Local.  Farmers Market Quality.  Nice!

 

Market Flowers has Peonies for just a bit longer!
Peonies
We've recently had a bride come just because of our wonderful selection of peonies.  We can't think of a more special way to grace your table than fresh, locally grown flowers and it's a real treat to have such a large selection of peonies to choose from.  We have many shades of pink available, but also some of the rare white ones.  But not for long!

Read about our fun and money saving DIY Wedding Flower program on the Market Flowers website!
