06.29.2020 - At the Market Tonight
/This intense summer heat is signaling a true transition in the seasonally available foods at the market. This will be Winter Park Urban Farm's last market with us for a while, so today is a good day to stock up on some of those end-of-season crops from farmer Mason. I've been freezing and preserving the harvest for the last few weeks in order to capture some of those seasonal flavors to get me through the summer. Heart of Christmas Farm will continue to bring produce from The Barefoot Farmer, but you'll start to see less variety available. This also means there will be more tropical fruit coming in, with mangoes, miracle fruit, passion fruit, and more available from Second Breakfast and Living Food Experience.
Take a break from cooking tonight and grab to-go meals and snacks from The Bearded Vegan, Ceylon Hut, and Avenue A Eatery. There are plenty of options for vegans, vegetarians,and omnivores to pick up on the way out.
We will continue to provide hand-washing facilities and will maintain a setup that allows for plenty of space between vendor booths. We have masks and gloves on hand for anyone who needs them - just stop by the HQ booth and ask. Please continue to limit to one party per booth at a time, and maintain a safe distance from your fellow shoppers.
We hope to see you at the market.
With Gratitude,
Gabby Lothrop
Market Director
