Come shop these slightly cooler days with us, Market Customers!
It’s starting to feel like summer is waning, but there’s still plenty of sunshine and veggies left! Our farmer stalls are stuffed with an abundance of fruits, vegetables, flowers, meats, eggs, and cheeses, as well as plenty of value added products.
All the green things, root vegetables, and so much sweet corn! Check out our slightly spicy Mexican Street Corn Casserole recipe below – it’s never too warm for a casserole!

There are a handful of our vendors who have been very generous to our non-profit, Friends of the Market, over the years with donations to Friends and PoP Club. This week, we send a huge thank you to Mel Brown of Mel’s Banks and Books. Mel graciously designed and built the new carrot donation bank. Check it out at the PoP Club Booth and join Mel in supporting programs like this at the Market!
Lake City Bakers: We would like to remind customers that this will be the last week to get our savory Tomato Pies for the season. Planning to eat it at market? Ask for a warm one! We’re also bringing out the fall spices a little early with our Pumpkin Whoopie Pies and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread!
Sandia Spice Co.: We will have our honey Grahams on Saturday along with our Green Chili Lime seasoning for all those Street Corn lovers. To make Street Corn simply cook your corn then butter or oil it, next dust with Chili Lime and finish with Cotija Mexican cheese and fresh Cilantro. Yummy!
Gem State Mushrooms: This is a fabulous week to come get your King Trumpets and get them on the grill. Chef Cynthia will be featuring a special skew with King Trumpets. Our selection of mushrooms is abundant and we have beautiful recipes to accommodate each one. You will find blue oysters, golden oysters, pink oysters, white oysters, chestnuts and pioppinos.
