Sorry for the late and brief run down this week but I didn’t spend as much time at the markets last week as I usually do.
Maybe it’s a tough call, but I personally think the highlight was fennel. Probably a lot more people will pick the ...

As previously mentioned, the coolest market happening last week was that Farrar Out Farm is now a regular vendor at Maplewood. I, at least, am glad to have them. I've known the name for years but rarely have the opportunity to get over to Kirkwood ...

Because it's just too exciting to hold onto until next week, the big market news this week will surely be that Farrar Out Farm is now at Maplewood Farmers' Market. A lot of fingers can be uncrossed now.
I spoke to owners Bryan and Christina Truemper briefly about how things ...

This week at Maplewood Farmers' Market I made it in time to be one of those people that swept the Our Garden strawberries out from everyone. As I approached the booth there were ten pints and by the time I left the booth there was one. ...

Last weekend was Ellie's birthday and celebrating it multiple times in a way that required sleeping in, I made it only to the Maplewood Farmers' Market. And I was incredibly late to boot so I witnessed nothing new, personally.
I hear there was more kale and baby bok choy, and ...

With the sun shining last week,the Maplewood Farmers' Market migrated over to their usual spot and with it a few more vendors arrived.
Though The Root Cellar was still slinging the most in the way of lettuces, herbs, and the new addition of radishes, Claverach made their first ...

As expected the Farmers' Markets last week were meat and plant heavy and vegetable light.
At the Maplewood Farmers' Market (thankfully under the patio tent because of the rain) it was the relatively slim pickings you would expect on opening day. The Root Cellar from Columbia had the ...

Alanna posted about glazed turnips the other day, and when I read her post, it occurred to me I still had a bunch of turnips buried deep within "MY FRIG, THE ROOT CELLAR" too. I'd bought them from Claverach Farms a couple months ago with no idea what I'd ...

Don't forget today is the last day of the Maplewood Farmers' Market. It's been a great year, and while I know all the vendors are looking forward to next year, get out there and send them off with a bang by stocking up your larder.

I received the following email via the Tower Grover Farmers' Market email list and thought I might not be the only one interested in this info:
Where to get your local food?
