Got Worms?
Located on the south end of the Market on Saturdays, Wurmworks offers a sustainable solution to food waste and plant health. Wiggle on over and ask the "worm woman" and the "worm man" (they go by these names!) about the fascinating things these worms can do for our environment!

Figs are very versatile. There are so many ways to eat and drink them. This week, you should try making this quick, simple smoothie with the next batch of figs you pick up from the Market.

What You'll Need:
  • 1/2 banana (ripe)
  • 4 figs (fresh, sliced in half)*
  • 7 to 8 ounces Greek-style yogurt*
  • 1 tablespoon honey*
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions:
Gather your ingredients. Cut the tips of the fig stems off, slice them in half, and put them in a blender. Add the banana half, Greek-style yogurt, honey, salt, and 1/4 cup of the milk to the blender. Puree the mixture until it is smooth, and continue adding milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
