Rain, cold or shine, we're open!

Saturday, December 5, 2009

Things are changing at your farmers' market. Yes, the weather is cooler, and the days are shorter, but ask around and you'll discover that the produce is still popping every Saturday afternoon. Transito Zamudio continues to sell apples, persimmons and oranges, but hurry on down, because this Saturday may be his last day.

And did you know that strawberries like this weather? It's true. Down in Monterey County, these delicious little red guys are still ripening in the sun before they end up at 2415 University Avenue. And if you made it out last weekend, you know that we were joined by a grower selling grapes and tangerines. We expect the same this Saturday.

Please note that our last market day of the season on December 19 is fast approaching, so it's time to spend those fresh checks before they expire at the end of the year! Don't forget to mark your calendars, because you can rest assured that on our last day we'll have something special planned to celebrate our community, our vendors and another successful year.

In addition to our normal selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, this Saturday we expect to have:

  • tasty persimmons and apples (this really may be the last week);
  • oranges (oh boy oh boy oh boy!);
  • tangerines (citrus is golden);
  • taro root and leaves (have you tried them yet?);
  • fresh peanuts (you roast them how you like them);
  • tasty sugarcane (yum yum yum);
  • organic veggies, including onions, carrots, and lettuce;
  • okra (come early for the best selection);
  • bitter melon (the health benefits are beyond description);
  • more greens than you can shake a fist at;
  • tomatoes (they're still delicious);
  • strawberries (from Salinas);
  • yummy honey;
  • nopales, chayote, basil, cilantro, cucumbers, broccoli, mint, basil, and other vegetables; and
  • much more!
