New in the basket this week: Rosemary Salt from Heirloomista, Blackberry Bakery's cobblers, pound cake and cookies, sourdough bread from Atacama, Well Rooted Teas' "Spring" variety featuring lemony herbs and rhubarb, a beautiful olive wood spoon from Tugi Enterprises, pea shoots from Mhonpaj’s Garden, plus a Bookstore Roadmap courtesy of Babycake's Book Stack.
Meet Some New Vendors!
Kelley Love of Heirloomista utilizes her 5-acre plot to grow heirloom tomatoes and other produce. She also makes a variety of Herb Salts. Kelley will return once per month through October.
With her pound cake, cookies and jarred cobblers (all favorite Southern bakery items from her youth), Whitney Robinson of Blackberry Bakery will quickly become a new favorite for shoppers with a sweet tooth. Whitney returns to the Market on May 27.
Tugi Enterprises offers an enormous array of rich olive wood products, all of which are antibacterial and food safe. I wasn't familiar with olive wood, but a Google search revealed just how prized it is for cutting boards, bowls, plates, serving and eating utensils. I am now the proud owner of the perfect serving spoon. The next time you'll find Tugi at the Market is June 17.
For anyone with kids, Babycake's Book Stack is a super addition to the Market! You'll find Zsamé Morgan and her impressive bus parked in front of the Market every second Saturday through October (this ties in with the Market's Story Time and Power of Produce initiatives). There is so much going on inside and out - with books, activities, toys and more - geared to be inclusive and relatable for kids of all backgrounds.
Tanaǧidaŋ To Wiŋ (Tara) of Blue Hummingbird Woman honors the traditional medicine teachings of her grandmothers and creates plant based balms, creams, soaps and more. Tara's next Market date is May 20.
