It's Market Monday, and that means awesome local goods, even if it rains a little.  We know it gets harder to make plans when the weather starts to get less predictable around here.  But local food waits for no one, and farming doesn't stop just because of the rain, so we'll be out here, rain or shine, with some of our favorite local entrepreneurs.  Stock up on freshly-picked produce, handmade provisions, and tasty treats.  Grab a drink from Jenna at the Stardust bar and make it into a Monday evening happy hour!

As a weekly reminder in these pandemic times, we will continue to provide hand-washing facilities and will maintain a setup that allows for plenty of space.  We have masks on hand for anyone who wants 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

It's Market Monday! We know we say this all the time, but it bears repeating: We are SO grateful for and impressed by the awesome farmers and entrepreneurs we get to work with each week.  This has been an especially trying year, even for these small business owners who are fairly accustomed to extraordinary challenges.  It's no small feat to grow food, raise livestock, make cheese, catch fish, bake pastries, pickle veggies, ferment kombucha, make jam, cook from scratch (we could go on); and be your own marketing and sales team while you're at it! So even as we are daydreaming about cooler days and peak fall season vegetables, we're just as enthusiastic today about all the incredible abundance we get to enjoy because of these intrepid people.  

We also want to keep thanking you, the market shoppers, for keeping us going through this summer.  Did you know that we've been at this, in the Stardust parking lot, for nearly 12 years?  If it weren't for the amazing vendors, and the awesome shoppers who have committed to local over the years, we definitely wouldn't be here!  We mean it: THANK YOU. 

As a weekly reminder in these pandemic times, 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.

Happy Monday! It's been a strange couple of weeks, and we are ready to get back into the routine of seeing and buying from our favorite local purveyors! Chef Jes Tantalo is back tonight to partner up with Wild Ocean Seafood. Hurricane Dorian caused a temporary shortage of fresh fish, so they'll be substituting a delicious rock shrimp dish for the usual fish tacos. We can't wait to see what they cook up!

We're rain or shine tonight, hope to see you there.

Cheers,

Gabby Lothrop
Market Director
