SFC Farmers’ Market Downtown, Sat. March 3rd from 9am-1pm:
- Cabbage Patch: Be sure to visit everyone’s favorite tomato vendor, B5 Farm, this weekend Downtown for cabbages so cute you’ll swear there is a baby waiting to pop out. If big brassicas aren’t your thing, try some delicate microgreens, red amaranth, spicy red radish, arugula, cilantro and broccoli!
- Get a Brazilian: You know you are near cheesy bread goodness when you smell that toasty parmesan wafting through the air. For those of you who don’t know, stop by Lua Brazil Saturday morning for basil, pizza or original cheese bread. If you are feeling extra brunch-y try a snickerdoodle or chocolate waffle made with the same gluten free batter!
SFC Farmers’ Market at Sunset Valley, Sat. March 3rd from 9am-1pm:
- Come Party With Us: Come see Party Fowl Farm at market this weekend for some of their rich offerings: duck eggs, mustard and collard greens, radishes, and if popular demand is high, some baby goats!
- A Foxy Treat: Seeking something sweet to satiate you and yours as Spring springs? Stroopwafel, strawberry muffins, and samoa cookies await you this weekend in the den of Le Renard Patisserie!
