VENDOR SPOTLIGHT:
A former stand-up comedian and a doctor in educational policy walk into the farmers market… For the fourth year in a row! Ben and Hannah of Moon Girl Farm grow chemical-free fruits, veggies, and herbs on their 1-acre regenerative farm in Pleasant Plains. Some of their more unique products are sugar baby watermelons and habeñera peppers (the milder sweeter take on a habeñero). They’ve got a variety of medicinal herbs that you can get fresh or as tea, my favorite being the sweet-smelling tulsi. Come find them right next to the market info stand on Adams every Saturday!
Locally grown Shish*to Peppers from Moon Girl Farm are here!
Shish*tos range from 100 to 1,000 Scoville heat units, which is hotter than bell peppers but much milder than jalapenos🌶🌶🌶
You’ll be supporting more than one local business when you indulge in our berry pizzas! The elderberries are from Moon Girl Farm , blackberries from Odelehr's Roadside Market and the edible flowers from Garden Gate Farm make for a delicious and beautiful berry pizza!❤️👏
We’re open 8-2 with a case full of made-from-scratch pastries, breakfast & lunch, espresso drinks, and more! Come see us.🤗
**though very small amounts were used on each fruit pizza, all elderberries used are cooked down with sugar**
STRAWBERRRY Cream Ale, yeah you read that right. Strawberry cream ale, made with fresh strawberries from Moon Girl Farm . Small batch, no fills, taproom only. What The FUZZ? is back ladies and gentlemen. That light refreshing taste of peach, black tea and ginger is available in the taproom and in 6-packs!
We love when berries are in season because that means we get to support local berry patches! Thank you to Brady's Berries and Moon Girl Farm for supplying us with some hand picked, organic berries to add the perfect touch to our made-from-scratch pastries and cakes!❤️🫐🍓🍒
Only a week or two left of strawberry season! Make sure to grab some juicy berries from Moon Girl Farm, Reliant Farms, or Odelehr's Roadside Market before they’re gone 🍓🌤
Our vendors tend to be early risers, like Hannah with Moon Girl Farm. Just like our vendors, our shoppers also tend to favor early attendance at the farmers market. Or they know the best way to ensure you get your strawberries is to be the first in line.
The 22nd season of the Old Capitol Farmers market presented by HSHS St. John's Hospital will kick off on May 12 and May 15!! Hours run 8:00 am - 12:30 pm at 4th and Adams.
Thanks to our friend Rich Saal, with Rich Saal Photography, for a video series featuring some of our vendors.
March showers bring May flowers! But first...did you get your seeds? Moon Girl Farm has seed packets available this month for curbside pick up on March 26. Make sure to get your orders in before March 24.
