SUNSET VALLEY: Not so fast! Slow down this weekend with a bite to eat from your favorite Sunset Valley vendors. Head to Bradshaw Farm for a fresh loaf of sourdough bread and top it off with some smoked peach jelly from Left Hand Jelly! For easy afternoon snacking don’t leave without a bag brimming with Yapa Empanadas our favorites are Peruvian chicken and creamy spinach pecan.
DOWNTOWN: New vendor bonanza! Flameleaf Farm is our newest farmer and they are bringing big juicy melons to market this weekend. Check them out for watermelon, honeydew, and bright yellow canary melons this weekend. Head down to Touta Biscotti for the eponymous Italian treat. Founder Cosette learned this specialty recipe on a trip to Italy and is now at market serving traditional biscotti, chocolate cookies, and fruit biscuits. Summer stings won’t get you down if you stop by Hamsa Heal Natural Healing. Mosquito repellant, bug bite lotion, salve for fire ant bites, locally grown aloe vera and more will be available this weekend.
