Hello Market Shoppers!

First of all,  thanks to all of you who voted for us in the Best of Philly Hot List- we won!!! And many thanks to our great farmers, artisan food makers, customers, musicians and artists who make our community so wonderful! You are the best!  

 

It has felt like fall on and off for several weeks, but this is the last official Saturday of the Summer.  Now is the time to grab the last of some of the  summer goodies like peppers and tomatoes, and it's also the time to welcome favorite fall greens, winter squash and yes, Asian pears!

 

This is the Third Saturday of the month when we pay particular attention to health.   You'll find healthful grass-finished beef, wild caught Alaska salmon and  extra virgin olive oil in addition to all of our other wonderful foods.  You may wonder why we have olive oil and salmon when we are a local and producer only market.  Although the Salmon is caught in Alaska, our fisherfolk are from Bloomsburg, PA.  The olive olive oil comes from Palestine, where a local charity,Playgrounds for Palestine, works directly with Palestinian olive farmers who produce the oil.  Proceeds from the oil help build playgrounds so that Palestinian children have an opportunity to enjoy play.  

 

Special activities on Saturday are: 

 

9AM An onstage cooking demo by local cooking school Cooking Spotlight.  Vicky will be cooking Asian pear slaw and a Leek, Fennel & Potato Soup- both sound delicious! You can ensure that you get a seat and a taste by signing up here.  We usually have extra seats so be sure to check out the demo, even if you don't sign up.
