Cooler temps should make for a more enjoyable market this week, so call a friend and have them meet you there. Why not make a morning or afternoon of it, by planning to spend some time in Acton? There are many yummy, authentic eateries near the Market and, of course, Revolver Brewing has their big weekly music event Saturdays from Noon 'til 3:00!
Want to try something truly unique to the area? Member-Vendor Always Sweet Love will be back at the Market with their delicious Bahn Mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) on homemade rolls, plus scrumptious empanadas, ebelskivers, brigadiero, and more! Summer has taken its toll on our farmer-members' crops, but we will still have a great assortment of fresh, local produce. Arison Farm will be there with plenty of sweet potatoes, onion, squash, okra and peppers. Grider Produce checks in with zucchini, yellow squash and okra, along with their tremendous assortment of jellies, pickles and fruit breads. Tin Top Farm will have golden zucchini, squash, okra, peppers, eggplant, watermelon (yellow meat) and cantaloupe. Sand Acres Farm will be on hand with pasture-raised, non-soy/non-GMO, farm-fresh eggs, but get there early...they always sell out. Finally, Whiskey Flats Honey will have their raw Texas honey waiting just for you. Stop by their booth and try a spoonful fresh off a honeycomb! Here's this week's market layout. Learn all about these great vendors on our Current Members page.
