The 2008 Farmers Market season got off to a great start this weekend. The weather included a little bit of sunshine and not a drop of rain. Our Market eagle endured the hectoring of a couple of pesky crows to float overhead and take in the excitement. It was great to see familiar faces (birds, too) and meet some new Market folks.

Stop and “set a spell” at our Market partner Northwest Hospital tent. Get a bowl of polenta and greens, a cheeseburger, hot dog or a cool shave ice cup, sit out of the sun and traffic and watch the world go by. The straw hats are there for you to borrow while you are at the Market!

New to the Market
Can fast food be tasty and healthy, too? Chefs Dylan and Heidi Stockman have brought their considerable skills (both worked for Tom Douglas restaurants) to our Market. The Green Go menu will always feature an organic cheeseburger made with grass-fed beef; the rest of the menu will be inspired by what‘s freshest. We can hardly wait!

Another new vendor specializes in healthy, portable snack bars. Stop and sample one of Jason‘s Caveman Bars. They‘re vegan, sweetened with brown-rice syrup, and contain contain no artificial ingredients. An informal poll of those who tried one was unanimous, they‘re really good, moist and chewy.

This year find sturdy green Farmer‘s Market reusable grocery totes made for us by Dansing Marketing Group at vendor stalls and at the Information Booth at the front of the Market. Help us cut waste!

The regular 2008 season lasts through Sunday, October 5th. Remember, our vendors come with wonderful food and products, rain or shine.
