This is the third Sunday East Towne Farmers Market, 9AM to 1PM in the outer parking lot, directly in front of the main mall entrance. And what a week to shop. The dozen vendors in attendance will be able to offer the last of the summer tastes while bringing on the first tastes and colors of fall.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, green beans, radishes, summer squash and even basil and rhubarb are available at the market. The last tastes of sweet corn are here, but hurry, this may be the final week of corn on the cob. Decorating your table is so easy with a couple vendors offering pre-made and custom made flower bouquets from Kelly Lor. And outside the kitchen, you’ll find deep colored mum plants for fall planting (Jim Nehmer). They’ll be perfect right beside the gourds and pumpkins that are bound to compliment your home. And don’t forget the incredibly exotic plants from Morningwood Farms, a great chance to add some spice to your outdoor plantings as well as a few houseplants that will brighten any room.
Now that you’re all decorated up, let’s turn on the oven and get baking. Roasting chickens, winter squash and both sweet potatoes and potatoes for baking will heat up the house and fill it with a great aroma. Two vendors (Lions Mane and Palms Mushrooms) offer incredible mushrooms, the ever popular button and crimini mushrooms along with some very fine specialty mushrooms, with tastes of delicate lobster. Plus a great mushroom seasoning for soups and dishes along with pickled mushrooms (hot and spicy or plain pickled) for snacking and a brunch time Bloody Mary.
And a treat for your favorite pet. New vendor, Mutt Better with artisan dog treats. Your dog will have to wait outside the market while you gather the treat, but a perfect reward for sitting so well.
The East Towne Community Market is a perfect place for all your weekly food shopping needs, with a wide variety of produce, meats, fruit, flowers and plants. You’ll find both conventional and certified organic growers with ethnic specialties and treats for your dog. Come join us on Sunday, 9AM to 1PM.
