Heirloom tomatoes are starting this week! Ask for a flavor profile on each one and get the tomato you love.
Events at market:
- Defeat Poverty DC is running a canvassing contest at market this weekend! Stop by their booth to learn about their efforts to raise awareness and community support.
- Farmers’ Market Bike Clinic every week, rain or shine, basically a free tune up, but watch closely and learn how stupid easy it is to keep your bike in trim!
Local Foods:
Pleasant Pops: New this week! Watermelon Cucumber featuring Watermelon and Cucumbers from Richfield Farms. Really? That sounds so weird, but these boys have not steered us wrong yet, the Cucumber Chili is sensational. Returning flavors are Strawberry Cream, Cucumber Chili, and Peaches & Ginger with peaches from our very own Quaker Valley Orchards.
Adelante Co-op: Fresh market vegetables and grilled meat Latino style: platos with rice con gandules or arroz casamiento. Plus horchata and chicha morada!
Reid Orchard: Tons of plums – find out what your favorites is for this week: yellow skinned, sweet Shiro, dainty, bite-size Methley Sugar Plums, the yellow-fleshed blood plum Formosa, or pretty A.U. Amber plums. And, oh the peaches: this week large, semi-free stone Glenglo yellow peaches and low acid Spring Snow white peaches. Plus nectarines, blackberries, a few raspberries, and…Pristine apples! The first of the really tasty eatin’ apples – firmer and less acid than the Transparent and Lodi applesauce apples we’ve had the last couple weeks.
