Dear Market friends,
We're in the last stretch of the Indoor Market! Let's make the most out of these last 5 weeks before we take the month of April off and let our farmers & foodies prepare for the Outdoor Market. Bundle up, bring your reusable produce and tote bags and stock up this week.
This Sunday....
Last chance to get your vegan cheez and faux meats from
Feed Your Head before the indoor market season ends! Be sure to stock up with plenty that will last you through April.
Sheekar Delights
will be offering Classic Walnut, Classic Pistachio, Toffee with Cacao Nibs, and Vegan Baklava this week. (The pistachio might be my favorite!) Get there early for first pick.
Get your slice of Upside down cake featuring pears from
Oriana's Orchard from
Bot Bakery this Sunday.
Montelimar Bread (formerly known as La Farine) has got you covered on all the sourdough you could ever need. The loaves pictured above look dreamy. Get yours on Sunday.
Lastly, we are keeping our CSA guide below in case you missed it last week.
