Salvaterra's Gardens
Walla Walla Wow!
|
New this week is the first harvest of red potatoes and big sweet Walla Walla onions! Walla Wallas are the vidalias of the North and boast a juicy, sweet mildness. Fun fact- the sweetness is actually not due to sugar, but rather to low sulfur content, which is half that of an ordinary onion. Less sulfur means less “bite” and no tears! A thick slice of Walla Walla is perfection on a sandwich or burger! All that juicy sweetness means Walla Wallas don't store for very long, so enjoy them now before they're gone until next year!
Salvaterra's full line-up includes: head lettuce (red leaf, green leaf), lettuce mix, arugula, kale (tuscan, green, red), collards, Swiss chard, dill, cilantro, parsley, pea shoots, microgreens, scallions, red radishes, red beets, hakurei turnips, carrots, fennel, escarole, zucchini (green and yellow), tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, green cabbage, napa cabbage, and broccoli.

Good morning, coffee. Susan's Espresso Soap is a great pick me up for your morning shower. Made with coffee butter, roasted coffee oil and ground espresso beans, it will exfoliate while giving you a rich lather. She also makes a Coffee Bean Sugar Scrub (natural sugar, coffee butter and ground espresso beans). The Licorice Hand and Body Soap has poppy seeds that work as an exfoliant too.

PROTECT YOUR PUPS!
Hey folks, we love having your furry friends at the market, but please keep in mind that the sun is intense on Larry Holmes Drive. In recent weeks we've seen a lot of dogs desperately seeking shade beneath vendor tents. We'd suggest bringing your pups early in the morning, or bringing a companion so one person can hang out with the dog in the grass and the shady areas under the trees while you shop. Water bowls are available at Pie + Tart, The EFM Merch Tent, and Bella's Bistro.
