Farm Stand – February 6 & 7
Best market ever! That is how I would describe this last weekend. So many of my veggies sold out, so many familiar and just as many new faces lining up to partake in the best farmers market in Phoenix, Arizona and beyond. Your support for what I do and the enthusiasm you greeted all of the new vendors to Sunday’s market is nothing less than wonderful. For those of you looking for a little extra prod to get up and come out to Buckeye on Estrella Parkway this Sunday, maybe it will be the Cupcake Lady and her People Chow or those scrumptious Red Velvet Cupcakes that will motivate you. Joe The Fish Man and his smoked salmon, just think about it. The Great Harvest Bread Company has already gotten great reviews by some of my visitors and is filling a gap left open when we all lost Joanne the Bread Lady from last years market. The Tamale Store handed out samples galore that sprung open wallets to buy tamales galore. Sassy Salsa was set up next to my tent and let me tell you, that tent next door was nothing if it wasn’t SASSY! Fabulous Fudge will be back, I have heard it on good rumor that the Dark Chocolate with Raspberry will have you swooning for more. And finally, Made By Bees, just what the heck is that? Let me tell you, these guys make sugar-free fruit butters with apple juice as the sweetener. If you want to taste the best fruit butter since jam and you think that all too often jams and jellies taste too sweet and not fruity enough, well, you get over to the Made By Bees tent and demand to sample all of the fruit butters – the Sugar-Free Apricot Butter is to die for, or is it the Cherry Almond or maybe the Blackberry or…..
Oh yeah, then there’s my vegetables, and fruit, eggs, and a bit of honey. First to disappear last weekend were the Rainbow Mix Carrots – woosh and they were gone. I might have taken 10 pounds of cauliflower home with me. Keeping up with the spinach flying off the table was a busy helper who raced around all morning ensuring my customers were being helped by Jerry and I while the fresh veggies stayed well stocked for your shopping fun – thanks, Caroline. This Saturday here on my farm in Tonopah, where free farm tours are still free, and then on Sunday on Estrella Parkway, I will be offering the following:
