This Week at the Market

We should have a more abundant week than last, with our regular vendors back from Czech Days, and more new vendors coming all the time as their fields begin to produce abundantly.  Strawberries are now in season, and the ones we had last week from Evergreen Farms (certified organic!) are to die for!

Also back at the market: Erin Nelson of Irish Twins Handmade Soaps, bringing a wide variety of yummy-scented soaps made from natural ingredients and essential oils. She’ll also have her (awesome! I tried it!) laundry detergent and a new item: homemade doggie biscuits made with real cheese, chicken, and beef.

Dad’s Bakery will be there, too, with his wonderful cookies and breads, and Bob Corio of Dakota Harvest Lamb will be there grillin’ and sellin’ great cuts of lamb for your Fourth of July festivities. We at Flying Tomato Farms will have spring cabbages, a few of the first delicious heads of sustainably-grown broccoli, sugar snap peas, and maybe even a few more goodies.  Come early for the best selection!

See you at the market!

Through Rain, Snow (but not tornadoes…)

Our producers are gearing up for another day at the market, despite the inclement weather!

I’m getting coffeed up and ready to harvest fresh produce–cabbage, leaf lettuce, parsley, broccoli raab, asparagus, and more–once the lightning stops.

Hope to see you there!

Handmade Soaps and other great products this week!

This week at the Vermillion Area Farmers Market, we’ll have Erin Nelson of Irish Twins Handmade Soap bringing some wonderful natural body care products down from Beresford.

She’s indicated in her recent e-mail that she has ylang-ylang-calendula and tangerine-lemon verbena soaps, as well as a goat’s milk and herb doggie soap that contains natural flea and tick repellents. She’ll have bath teas as well, to soak away the stresses of the day.

Add to that local produce, plants, fresh eggs, organic beef and grassfed lamb, and you have a one-stop local shopping adventure!

See you at the market!

We’ll have jams and jellies, fresh produce, plants, baked goods, and I hear there might even be a handmade kayak for sale!

Hope to see you there!
