The Market is Open! Pork Chops Are Here!

Greetings local food lovers!

The Market is Open!

The sun is shining, the weather is warm and we’ve got produce, eggs & more.

What else do we have on the market this week? Pork chops and ground pork from The Living Farm!

I ordered these pork chops last week and they are the kind of meat you would see featured in a vivid Dutch still life painted in the 1880s. They are beautiful!

I will be marinating them in a balsamic/teriyaki sauce, pan-frying them and topping them with some kind of delicious, apple-based sauce. Try them out!

Last day to order local!

Greetings local food lovers!

Last chance to order local and potatoes, beets, overwintered spinach, eggs & meats still abound!

Or try out some incredible products from Jubilee Family Farm. Ever glanced at the ingredients list of your average supermarket tortilla? It’s a short novel of indecipherable words (e.g. preservatives and chemicals).

Jubilee Family Farms tortillas are a simple mix of white-wheat organic flours. They will go well with any of their sauces and soups they make too.

Enhance Your Life with Eggs!

Greetings local food lovers!

The Market is Open!

Aside from having a chicken coop in your backyard, the delicious eggs on the market are the next best thing!

We’ve got turkey eggs, duck eggs, bantam eggs, chicken eggs and quail eggs from four different farms.

Don’t like your eggs scrambled or over easy? Use them to take your baking to the next level, whip the whites into homemade marshmallows or hard boil and chop to enrich potato or pasta salads.
