Shopping Basket from July 13 Mill City Farmers Market, New Items to Check Out

Above, our shopping basket from the July 13 Mill City Farmers Market. Just in time for a steamy weekend - insanely delicious cherry ice cream from Sonny's. Dervish Mazza added a Summer Corn Succotash to their offerings. Mokum carrots from Burning River Farm and blueberries from Mary Dirty Face Farm arrived last week. 

We're coming into peak summer produce (that happened fast!). It won't be long before watermelon and sweet corn appear.

One of the many new offerings at the MCFM this year is Squash Pepita Sourdough bread from Jeff Nistler. I really like this one - the crust doesn't get rock hard, so it's easy to slice throughout the week. 

Below, I tried the new Maple Pancake Mix from Horner's Corner. This is a collaboration with Baker’s Field Flour & Bread - combining their Pancake and Waffle Mix with Horner's maple sugar. Per Steve Horner, new varities are in the works.

So many fruits, jams, meats and other items available at the MCFM to serve with your waffles/pancakes (hopefully yours look better than mine - I've never been able to produce a perfectly square Belgium waffle without batter oozing out the sides of the waffle maker...but they are tasty all the same). I love the Skyr from Shepherd's Way - it's only available during certain months, so enjoy it while you can! Don't forget Horner's maple syrup and maple cream, along with Ames Farm honey and chocolate spread from Chocolate San Jose Minneapolis.
