Join us as we welcome two vendors to the market: 1) Steve & Cat Elliott of Elliott Grows return to the CFM after a move and re-establishing their crops of beautiful hydroponic lettuces, greens and basil. 2) Gilbert Garcia of Apetito Co. brings his Barbacoa Sauce, a top shelf Texican sauce that was perfected by his family and passed down for several generations. This rich tomato-based sauce can be used as a marinade, barbeque sauce or addition to beans and other dishes.
Market eggs are from free range hens. Beef, pork, chicken and lamb meats are all hormone and antibiotic free, raised and finished in grassy, open pastures. Seafood is fresh from the Gulf.
Summer produce is abundant. Find sweet cantaloupe, watermelon, early grapes, peaches, corn on the cob, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, onions, green beans, many varieties of squash, shelled black-eyed peas and other kinds of peas, cucumbers, honey, fresh herbs, potatoes, mushrooms, salad greens and whatever else ripens this week.
Artisan items include coffee that has been freshly roasted, breads, pies, cake balls, cookies, granola, pasta, jellies and jams, herb-infused sorbet, spice blends, tamales, chips and salsas, Texas olive oil, soup and dessert mixes, and more.
Among the non-food items, find doggie treats, custom soaps and soy candles, vegetable and bedding plants.
Be sure to check with the artisan vendors as they often add new, interesting flavors to their line-ups.
Some of the offerings are grown using organic methods, some using conventional methods - just ask the farmer.
