May 6 at the 2023 Mill City Farmers Market - It's Good to be Back!
Sunday, May 7, 2023 at 9:58AM
Just what the doctor ordered - a basket filled with goodness from the Mill City Farmers Market. New items we're enjoying this week include Ramp Salt (and ramps) from Morning Glory Farm and Gardens, hummus and veggie chips from Yummitizers, Aromatic Mist from Spoon and Theory Handmade, Fresh Face Cleanser from For They Skincare & Wellness, Polvorones D9 Edible THC Cookies from Mi Sota Essence (a vendor part of Primitiva Collective).
Opening Day - May 6, 2023
We weren't the only ones looking forward to opening day!
Meet some new vendors!
Mark Plunkett and Faye Jones of Morning Glory Farm and Gardens sell freshly harvested ramps and Ramp Salt (it is to die for!). They will only be at two more May markets (13th and 20th), so don't miss out!
Spoon and Theory Handmade debuted at the Market with jewelry and aromatherapy items. I love the Aromatic Mist, and look forward to trying more of their offerings.
Hanna Vomhof of WAAM Industries offers a number of reusable goods. Their grocery totes, lunch bags and other items are built to last.
YummyTizers had an incredible array of hummus, Kefir yogurts, salads and chips to choose from. In addition to dipping Mixed Veggie Chips in a tasty Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus, they worked well as a crouton substitute on a fresh salad.
Theresa Bentz of Get Bentz Farm offers yarns and roving, scarves, blankets and other items. The farm also has it's own fiber mill, along with a large natural dye garden (you can purchase a dye kit if you'd like to try your hand at it).
A new Indian food and drink option is Krishna's Delight. I tried a refreshing green smoothie that I can't wait to have again when they return for the May 27th Market.
I was excited to learn Tare Market (billed as Minnesota's first zero-waste shop) joined the Market. At MCFM, bulk food, personal care and household items will be packaged; but in their two stores, you can bring your own containers. Mill City Times posted an article on Tare last year.
For They Skincare & Wellness formulates and handcrafts their skincare products using all natural and organic ingredients. I used the Fresh Face Cleaner shortly after I got home from the Market - love it!
Pictured above is Veronika Alfaro of Mi Sota Essence. She is one of the vendors who comprise Primitiva Collective, which was founded in 2022 as an intentional community of local women artisans. She said the Polvorones D9 Edible THC Cookies (pictured below with the Traditional Mexican Cinnamon Sugar Cookie label) is her grandmother's recipe. Mill City Times posted an article on Primitiva Collective last year.
We'll have more new vendor updates in the coming weeks.
Nettie's Green Spring Broth was over the top tasty - liquid sunshine on an overcast morning!
Have Tera Forge sharpen your knives while you shop!
Enjoying a chapati from Red Wolf Chai - they're so good!
We're not sure if this cool vehicle belongs to a vendor or shopper - but it was definitely photo-worthy! :D
