This Week At The Market

JThis Saturday starts the 2011 season of the Bayview Farmers Market.  Join us each Saturday from 10-2 (rain or shine) for some of the best South Whidbey has to offer.  This year we are happy to have seven new vendors this year.





Pam’s Place Produce will once again be under the big tree this Saturday! This is the last day this month for you to drop off empty, light-weight plant containers for me to fill with soil, fertilizer and lettuce or herb plants.  All the veggie and herb starts are still the same low price, and planting weather is perfect now for cool-season crops, multiple types and colors of the following veggies...
Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, chard, onions, leeks, bok choy, lettuce,tatsoi and mizuna (mild mustard), chives, French sorrel, cilantro, Greek oregano, French tarragon,parsley, and mint.
Lots of greens are coming out of my greenhouses, and there are always complimentary recipes available on the market table for a little cooking inspiration.
A CSA membership has recently become available, so if you’d like to sign up for a full share over 17 weeks, or a half share over 9 weeks, please email me at pamsplaceproduce@whidbey.com for more information.

 Well, it's that time again: The Bayview Farmers Market re-opens for another season Saturday at Bayview Corner. The opening bell rings at 10 a.m. and we'll be on hand to begin our fifth year. Come and sample our breads and pastries. This happens to be the last week of the month, so it's Kringle week right off the bat. You'll also find some great Aussie treats we picked up on our trip "down under" earlier this year. There's fruit-filled, slightly spiced Sonoma Fruit Loaf, coconut-oatmeal Anzac Biscuits and chocolate coconut Lamingtons.

Freshly picked Island Rhubarb will be featured in pies at the booth, Pie for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner on opening day, April 30th. Heading into her 10th year at the Bayview Farmers' Market, Shirlee Read, mistress of pies, will also have her trademark frozen savory pies, Down Home Chicken and Classic Meat, along with quiches, cream pies and a variety of made-from-scratch fruit pies.


I will be bringing new items to the market  throughout the season. Come visit Meredith's booth to check it out for yourself!
