This week we are excited to have a new vendor, Naturally New Mexico, join us. Please stop by and check out Aileen's selection of lamb. She will also have eggs available and in the future, ground beef. Welcome, Aileen!
It was great to meet so many of our new neighbors last week. I don't think I've ever met so many first-timers to the market and they all seemed to really be enjoying themselves. Newcomers, please stop by the Bienvenidos Outreach table to say hi and find out more about our market.
June is the month where we begin to see more produce and more of our vendors returning to the market. Alex from Revolution Farm says he will have fresh garlic and garlic scapes, and more this week. Arugula, lettuce and radishes are also going to be ready for the market on Friday, but in limited quantities. Carol from White duck Farm will have her eggs and goat milk products this week, too. Natalie Coriz Pueblo Baking will definitely be back this week (a mix up occurred last week and she was not able to make it to the market last Friday).
News from The vista Grande Public Library:
"The Vista Grande Public Library will have its information table at the Market again this Friday. Come by and browse our “Free Book Corner” for children and adults or pick up a form for a new Library Card to get started on your summer reading fun! Also, VGPL is celebrating its 20th year by producing a Community Cookbook that will be published this fall! If you have a favorite recipe you’d like to share, you can pick up a submission form at our table or at the Library-deadline is June 29, 2019!
Hope you’ll drop by and say hi!!
