Grill on
As the school year picks up and we find ourselves busier than we may have been in the heat of the summer, stocking up on versatile, "workhorse" ingredients that can play multiple roles is key!
Enter zucchini, which there is plenty of at both the Stoneberry Farm and Caradonna Farm tents. From a hearty zucchini tian with rice from Great Joy Family Farm and olive oil from Arlotta Food Studio to chicken-zucchini meatballs with chicken from R&M Farm and even chocolate zucchini loaf cake, a little zucchini goes a long way to keeping you fed all week long.
Another star of the transitional season is the sweet potato, which you can now pick up at the Madura Farm tent. You can roast them for a sweet addition to your breakfast toast, season them for a fresh salad, bake them into deliciously fluffy biscuits, or serve them in a savory onion dip at your next gathering.
We can't wait for you to meet our new vendors this Sunday! Kick off Hispanic Heritage Month with Empabake, whose empanadas and Latin-infused breakfast, lunch, and dinner items will have you turning right around for more. Jeremy from SMOK'D will be whipping up his perfectly smokey chicken sandwiches, while Asian Farmer Dumplings will return to IFM this week with their heat-at-home dumplings, rice balls, and ramen. Perfect for those weeknight dinners now that things are about to get busy! Also, the cool ladies from Emmaline's Hot Sauce are back to kick off September in spice and sass.
If you're entertaining this weekend and looking for a gorgeous cutting board or plank to serve your cheese and charcuterie, olives and hummus, look no further! KHEM Studios Woodworking is here for the very first time selling some of the most beautiful pieces we've ever seen. They will seriously raise the beauty "bar" in your kitchen. Wagon Full Flower Farm has your end-of-summer bouquets handled. Sunny, happy flowers in your kitchen can help you get through this week!
Vicente Saavedra will be performing from 10:30-12:30, and you won't want to miss it! Grab a picnic blanket from us at the welcome tent and enjoy a relaxing Sunday at the market.
We'll see you there!
