Collards, mistletoe, broccoli, fresh greenery!
It's been a cold week, and that means the collards taste their best right now. We're bringing plenty to Seaside Farmer's Market this Saturday (Dec. 11) 9 1.m. to 1 p.m.
We also have beautiful, tender broccoli and baby turnips with greens, as well as fresh greenery swags.
Our mistletoe "kissing balls" were a hit last week, so I'm making lots more of those -- mini-bouquets of mistletoe with greenery, berries and red raffia. They make sweet little gifts, romantic holiday decorations, and smashing natural gift wrap "bows."
And I just have to put in a good word about our fellow vendors and their wares. We all know the local dairy products are great, and Renee's amazing eggs and chickens and preserves, but have you tried baklava from the Turkish baker, or Mediterranean delights from Ali Baba (their chicken and rice looks so ordinary but one taste may change your life)?
How about Raw & Juicy's kale chips and granola, or Moonlight Micro Farms' incredible sprouts? Charles and Shueh Mei of Dragonfly Fields bring beautiful salad and cooking greens, wildflower seeds, and several vendors offer different local honeys. Why not have a holiday honey tasting party?
Come on out and join the fun, pick up some super fresh local produce, and finish up that holiday shopping -- you can't go wrong with baked goods, preserves or local honey!
