Hello Neighbors.... UPDATE!! Just wanted to remind everyone that I now do 4 farmers markets each week, rain or shine! You can find me at all of the following.....
Wednesdays 4-8 pm Farmers Market at Old Town Square in Cottonwood
Thursday 2-6 pm Windmill Park Farmers Market in Cornville
Saturday 9-1 Munds Park Farm to Table Market
Sunday 8-12 Flagstaff Community Market Fresh Flowers only.
And so you know..... I drive to several farm towns on the southwest end of the Phoenix valley each week to get fresh local small farm produce for these markets. And many locals farms are now producing local veggies and are at the markets each week. I support only small farms, several are women owned and all practice organic or at least pesticide free farming. We call it good farming practices but it is healthy and free of any nasty chemical junk used by big commercial operations. Many are regenerative farms using hand tools and no big tractors or heavy equipment. Most of our farms are not 'certified organic' as this is terribly expensive to obtain but I can assure you that these are stand up farmers that eat what they grow and the have raised their families on it for years. It's the best I can get and I eat it every day!
My eggs are all local to the verde valley and I get eggs weekly (and sometimes 2x a week) from several small family farms. I get chicken and duck eggs, some are fed certified organic feed, others are fed traditional feed, but all are small flocks with lots of room to roam and free range. They all sleep inside secured coops at night due to our hungry predators in the area. If you haven't tried duck eggs year I encourage you to do so,. They are a treat!
Last year I started selling Queen Creek Olive Mill products because they are based in Queen Creek AZ where they grow their own olives, press their own oil, stuff their own olives, infuse their balsamic, and provide a wide range of organic olive oil based products that will enhance any meal. Please come try these amazing products from a family owned business.
I regularly sell fresh and dried mushrooms from Sun Valley Harvest. My good friends own this farm and they are top notch mushroom growers. I carry fresh, dried and even powders that are blended with a goal of targeting specific conditions like inflammation as brain health. I have a brochure from SVH that I can share so you can learn more about the health of mushrooms in your diet.
I also sell Hayden Mills which is also AZ grown grains, flours, and more. Family owned and operated this is also a gem of our state.
Please try some of my pickled goodies too, and the preserves, butters, jams and more. These are made for me (I wish I had the energy and ability to make them but I don't) and my label added. All are made with low amounts of salt, sugar, and other preservatives. I promise you will be hooked and find a favorite soon!
My garden is really starting to bloom nicely. The bulbs are done for the season but right now I have thousands of super aromatic sweet peas and bells of ireland. These made amazing mothers day bouqs. Other blooms are forming and soon I will have dahlias, sunflowers, veronica, zinnias, and much more for summer.
This is just a few of my weekly goodies!
Thanks SO much for your continued support. It means the world to me and my vendors at the markets. You are my hero's!!
Sending Blessing your way!
