July 22 at the Mill City Farmers Market
New items in this weeks Mill City Farmers Market shopping basket: purple cabbage from Urban Roots, ice cream from Sonny's, raspberries from Prairie Hollow Farm (along with a new kind of pea that I neglected to get the name of), and tea from Well Rooted Teas.
I wasn't the only one who was happy to see Sonny's back at the market - shoppers kept Carrie busy scooping! She and Ron craft ice creams, sorbets and gelatos with delicious flavor combinations.
Friends of the Minneapolis Public Library was also popular with shoppers.
REMINDER: The annual Harvest Dinner, a major funding source for MCFM, is scheduled for September 10th. It features a market-to-table dinner prepared with farm-fresh ingredients by market chefs Nettie Colón and Jenny Breen, craft cocktails and live music, and will take place in the Mill City Museum Courtyard. 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.
