August 12 at the Mill City Farmers Market: Fruit, Fruit Everywhere!
Sunday, August 13, 2023 at 6:01AM
It was a "fruitful" trip to the August 12th Mill City Farmers Market! First Kiss apples from Ames Farm, strawberries and Strawberry Shrub from Twin Cities Berry Company, pears from Mary Dirty Face Farm, yellow watermelon from Nistler Farms, raspberries from Green Earth Growers and watermelon ginger juice from Pure Ginger for You. To go with the wonderful variety of fruit? Why, Big Woods Blue cheese from Shepherd's Way Farm, of course! My favorite combo!
Tickets still available for the annual Harvest Dinner!
The annual Harvest Dinner, a major funding source for MCFM, is scheduled for September 10th. Taking place in the Mill City Museum Courtyard, the event features a market-to-table dinner prepared with farm-fresh ingredients by market chefs Nettie Colón and Jenny Breen, craft cocktails and live music. The evening ends with a live auction and fund-a-need support for MCFM's Next Stage Grant program for farmers and food makers. Learn more here.

Week after week I am in awe of the incredible abundance at the MCFM, given this summer's challenging growing conditions. Our farmers have my utmost respect and gratitude. :)
