THIS WEEKEND AT THE MARKETS
Highlights, Vendors, Events and more. Downtown and Sunset Valley - Sat, Dec. 14 |
|
Stay safe and eat local greens! Marysol’s Family Farm is bringing huge heads of iceberg, bibb, and romaine lettuces to market for an easy midweek meal. Stop by Urban Roots to say farewell and thanks for the season while grabbing a bunch or two of salad turnips and radishes. Need a little protein to round out this healthy eating? Consider topping your creation with a grilled a pork loin from Smith & Smith Farm.
If this cold snap has you headed for the covers try warming up with some spicy padron sriracha from Hairston Creek Farm! These end of season peppers have been fermenting into spicy goodness and would be perfect on top of noodle soup, a 6 ½ minute egg with Shirttail Creek Farm eggs and a handful of herbs from Johnson’s Backyard Garden.
