This Week at the Crescent City Farmers' Market

 

March 15, 2021

FRESH & LOCAL: Get Your Garden into Gear With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get your garden on. Growing your own food is a healthy, fresh, and economical way to get your veggies. Gardening, aka “dirt therapy” is also a great way to get some exercise, fresh air, and sunshine. Our friend Kiki Fontenot at the LSU Ag Center literally wrote the book on it - find the Beginner’s Guide to Growing Vegetables and Herbs here! Hot Plants, Jim Mizell, and Graham’s Harvest sell plant starts at our weekly markets. Additionally, Schmelly’s Dirt Farm can now be found at our Thursday Mid-City market with compost and garden soil for sale, and they’re accepting kitchen waste for composting! Acceptable scraps include: fruit and veggie peels and trimmings, coffee grounds, nut shells, egg shells, and grains.

PICKS OF THE WEEK: National Nutrition Month National Nutrition Month was initiated in 1973 as National Nutrition Week, until it became a month-long observance in 1980 in response to growing interest in nutrition. Good nutrition doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Even small changes can have a big effect - every little bit is a step in the right direction! You can start by eating a variety of nutritious foods every day, from all of the food groups - eat the rainbow. Planning out your meals each week can help keep you on the right track so you’re not pulling through the drive-thru last minute. It’s easy to shop for healthful foods at the farmers market. Load up your bags with fresh fruits and veggies and use this opportunity to purchase items that have been minimally processed or are preservative free. Then you can prepare tasty, nutritious meals at home and get your entire family involved in the kitchen! A happy family is a healthy family!

Plant Starts! Louisiana’s generally sunny disposition makes this state a great place to try your hand at gardening. New on the scene, plant starts for spring are here at Graham’s Harvest! Cherry tomatoes and bell peppers of every color under the sun are waiting to give your porch (and plate!) a fun pop of flavor. Planting tips from Carmela herself: keep them in their pot for three or four weeks before permanently planting them so as to not shock the roots. Want ‘em a little sooner? Go for the sweet Red Baron tomatoes - it hasn’t even been three weeks since planting and they were already sprouting at our Thursday market!

Duck Lunch Plates to Benefit VEGGI Farmers Cooperative VEGGI needs a new van! Transportation is crucial to any farm business, and absolutely essential to support the small farms behind VEGGI Farmers Cooperative. Veggi’s van was stolen last week, and recovered in much worse condition. Join us tomorrow, March 16th, at the Tuesday Uptown market for a special BBQ duck lunch plate by Chef Marcus of Marjie’s Grill benefitting VEGGI! Plates are $15 and 100% of sales will go towards this Go Fund Me fundraiser to replace VEGGI’s stolen van!

VENDOR OF THE WEEK: Bread & Roses Next week marks a year since Katherine Madere of Bread and Roses sold her first loaf of bread! Like many others who have been displaced during this past year, the pandemic has given Katherine the time to grow her passion in the kitchen into a successful local business. Cooking with a big family gave her an appreciation for the importance of home-cooked food, and she enjoys putting care into something that nourishes the body. You can very much taste this dedication in all of Katherine’s baked goods. The name is from labor union leader Rose Schneiderman, who stated in a speech that women, specifically women workers, have a right to “...bread, but she must have roses too.” Bread and Roses has become a new shopper favorite since her debut at our markets in February. Find her at the Thursday Mid-City and Sunday City Park drive-thru markets!

RECIPES OF THE WEEK: Easy Garden Pasta This pasta recipe is a great way to get in your daily serving of vegetables while decluttering the fridge. You’ll need a couple tomatoes, your preferred fat (olive oil is the way to go if on hand!), seasonings and additions of choice and your favorite pasta! Gather any extra vegetables that have been left behind from the week’s meals as well. What’s your favorite dish to make after visiting the Crescent City Farmers Market? Share your recipes with us on Instagram or Facebook or even Twitter and it might be featured in our weekly newsletter!

This Week at the Crescent City Farmers' Market ("CCFM")

 

March 8, 2021

FRESH & LOCAL: How to Drive-Thru It has been 49 weeks since the debut of the CCFM Drive Thru Market which has evolved into a smooth-running weekly event that continues to connect farmers, fishers and food producers to local eaters in the safest way possible during this time of uncertainty. Thanks to City Park, you can now pick up your weekly groceries every Sunday at the Tad Gormley Stadium parking lot from 8am to 12pm - enter on Marconi at Navarre. We are getting ready for spring, strawberries are ripe for the picking, and farmers are peeling back those blankets! Use code “FRIENDS” for 50% off your first WhatsGood pre-order (valid through 5/31)! New to Sunday drive-thru? It’s easy: Order and pay online Wednesday through Friday We’ll email you a placard to print and fill out with your name and the vendors who you’ve shopped from to place in your windshield the day of market (this helps us expedite your visit once at market) Arrive and drive through the market and the vendor will place your order in your trunk Repeat as needed!

PICKS OF THE WEEK: Become a CCFM Vendor After a year of hitting the brakes on our market norms and pivoting to new market models in the face of the pandemic to make sure all of our vendors are being supported, we are now accepting new vendor applications! Are you a farmer or food producer? Apply here to attend our Tuesday Uptown market, Thursday Mid-City market or Sunday City Park market! Note: As we work to navigate the rapidly changing environment that COVID - 19 has brought us, modifications have been made to our vendor application process. Vendor application timelines and processes may be disrupted. All Crescent City Farmer Markets are operating in accordance with the CDC Farmers Market Guidelines.

Unlimited Market Match Extended Through June Now extended through June 2021, Market Umbrella will continue offering unlimited dollar-for-dollar Market Match for SNAP shoppers to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. Additionally, thanks to a $500,000 USDA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) award, Market Umbrella has expanded Market Match beyond all CCFM market locations to also be available at:

Top Box Foods - on ALL SNAP eligible purchases, plus free home delivery ReFresh Farmers Market on Monday evenings on the Lafitte Greenway Grow Dat Youth Farm for 50% off seasonal CSA subscriptions River Queen Greens for half price farm shares Stay tuned for new nutrition classes and programs supporting Market Match at Tulane’s Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine

Raw Honey Ah, nature’s antiseptic. Raw honey has been our natural remedy for mild illnesses and infections throughout human history. Sweet and a bit crunchy, raw honey is a great alternative to processed sugar--all the nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants we need without the guilt! Make sure that your honey is raw and unfiltered--pasteurized honey, which is heated to a high temperature for bottling, ends up having all the lovely health benefits killed off in the process. Add a jar (with or without the comb!) to your shelves from Power’s Beekeepers or Burg’s Bees.

VEGGI Farmers Cooperative Needs Yours Help Last week the VEGGI van was stolen and while the team was fortunate to have the vehicle located, it was not without the thief taking a few crucial, and valuable, parts. Transportation is crucial to any farm business, and absolutely essential to support the small farms behind VEGGI Farmers Cooperative who use the vehicle to aggregate products amongst vendors, attend farmers markets, and deliver CSA shares all across the city. Let’s help VEGGI get back on the road and to market!

VENDOR OF THE WEEK: Isabel’s Tamale’s and Produce After a well-deserved winter hiatus, Isabel’s Tamales and Produce has returned to the Sunday drive-thru market now at City Park! Beloved farmer Isabel and the Mendez family grow a variety of items on their farm in Independence, Louisiana. Look for her online offering of fresh strawberries, spring veggies, and an array of homemade tortilla chips and salsas. And of course, we give a warm welcome back to her tamales, made fresh before each market - how we have missed them!

RECIPES OF THE WEEK: Honey Roasted Pecans The start of spring (and hopefully the end of cold days) has people back on their salad kick. Lately honey roasted pecans like these from The Spruce Eats, have become a favorite at the veggie bar. Nutty and sweet, these golden gems add a candied crunch to the salad du jour. Find pecans and honey at any of our weekly markets now. What’s your favorite dish to make after visiting the Crescent City Farmers Market? Share your recipes with us on Instagram or Facebook or even Twitter and it might be featured in our weekly newsletter!
