Farmers Market
Health & weather permitting we’re at the market for the next two Saturdays. Reminder that starting in November the market will open an hour later at 9AM. We’ll be thankful for a little more sleep!
Pop-up @ Boycott
Well folks the time has come for the pop-up to end. It’s been a blast and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the support! We’re nearing opening at the store front and need to focus all our energy there.
Van Stolen
Part of ending the pop-up is that our van was stolen from the parking lot at our space. Not really sure why someone wanted that little busted van but it’s their problem now. We’d love to replace the van but can make do for the farmers market without it for a little while.
What’s In Season?
We’re getting loads of dried out purple hull peas which will make their storage much easier! Traditionally we’ve gotten these frozen so we’re stoked that AOVS Urban Farm has let some dry for us.
Chicken of the Woods is out there! Maitake will be around soon. Don’s found a decent crop of chicken and will hopefully find more in the next week or two. We’ll put that on ice to be able to serve up down the road.
We’re having our first frost today/tomorrow for lots of farmers so we’re officially going to see the last of summer produce. There may be a few tomatoes hanging around but we’re definitively into fall lettuces, cabbages, greens and all sorts of other brassicas. They can be a challenge to put into baked goods but we’ll find our ways.
Next Steps For the Store
Giving ourselves more time to focus on the store is going to be good! Just today, Tuesday the 18th, we got a refrigerated display case picked up and delivered by Two Broke Bartenders. This is the second time we’ve used them for moving heavy equipment and give them a gold star! We got this piece of equipment from Kat at Muddy’s. She’s been a big supporter and friend to us behind the scenes. Hopefully this week we can at least start construction on some counters for the coffee setup and maybe even the seating bar. We believe this can be done by us to save a little cash so hopefully that goes smooth!
Thanks again for all the support and we’ll see ya soon!
