12.07.2020 - At the Market Tonight
/It's December and we are certainly having a "wintery" day here in Central Florida. We think it will make for a lovely evening at the market, grabbing a hot chocolate or tea (or Toddy!) and stocking up on local essentials. CM Bakari is back with fresh bread this week. If you met Cesar last week, you know how delicious it is, and how quickly it sells out. In addition to loaves and baguettes (pair so well with fresh Slow Turtle Farm goat cheese and jam from Second Breakfast), he is featuring cardamom buns - perfect for this weather. We also have Thrown By Hand here again this week - visit Kim for some very giftable handmade pottery!
And of course, there'll be plenty of provisions, including produce from Zenn Naturals, Microganic Farm, Fleet Farming, and Florida Salad King; Kombucha from our friends at Orlando City; Raw Vegan goods from the Live Food Experience; Raw Dairy from Heart of Christmas; Baked Sweets from Edward's Gourmet Confections; and Florida Seafood from Wild Ocean. Whew! That's quite a list!
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.
With Gratitude,
Gabby Lothrop
Market Director
