REMINDER: Vote for the Mill City Farmers Market in the USA Today 10 Best Farmers Market Readers Choice 2023. As of June 18, MCFM was in 4th place, but you can move them up to #1 by casting a vote everyday thru the end of this month. (Cool side note - the photo USA Today used for the MCFM was taken by Mill City Times!)
June 17 was Mississippi River Day at the MCFM, in partnership with Green Lands Blue Waters and the Sustainable Farming Association. The spotlight was on Kernza, a perennial grain and clean-water crop, with cracker samples from Perennial Pantry and examples of products derived from Kernza. You can check them out online at www.perennial-pantry.com. Don't be afraid to try something new!
Market Chef Nettie Colon made Kernza pancakes dusted with maple sugar from Horner's Corner and a Kernza salad with fresh market veggies.
Until strawberries are more abundant, you'll need to visit Andy at Twin Cities Berry Co. when the clock strikes 8a if you want to snag a quart or two!
