I will be back at the market this week with tomatoes, carrots, rosemary, and basil (mmm, pesto), as well as the usual handmade items: market and water bottle bags, dish cloths, and skillet handle covers.

The Broadway Community Market has had a back-to-school theme the past couple weeks, with one final day of the theme tomorrow. Coloring pages and crayons will be available on the picnic tables, so bring your kids for a fun morning at the market! The vendor New Moon Creations will be collecting donations of school supplies for John C. Myers Elementary School, and everyone who drops off items during the market tomorrow will be entered to win a free plant from her. Supplies needed:

  • Markers (Ex: Crayola Washable)
  • Pencil Boxes or Pouches
  • Wire Earbuds or Wire Headphones
  • Highlighters
  • Large Ziploc Bags
  • Small Ziploc Bags
  • Dry Erase Markers
  • Baby Wipes
  • Glue Sticks
  • Scotch Tape
  • Scissors
  • Paper Clips
  • Pens
  • Post-It notes
  • Deodorant
  • Dry Shampoo
  • Hair Detangler
  • Books – gently used for the book cart
  • (monetary donations are also accepted and will be used to purchase supplies on this list)

See you at the market!

Just a quick note this week to let you all know that I will not be at the Broadway Community Market tomorrow. I’ve decided to take a break from the market this Saturday to focus on a Big Life Thing (announcement coming soon!) that is taking precedence over everything else right now. It’s a good Thing, but time-consuming.

In the garden, I’m attempting to weather devastating pest damage while looking forward to my Aunt Glee’s Big Pink Tomatoes (pictured above) and finally harvesting the new pepper varieties I grew this year.

Please reach out if you would like some tomatoes, carrots, perpetual spinach, rosemary, or chocolate mint this weekend for pickup on the farm or in Broadway. And please do visit the other vendors at the market tomorrow – they have some great stuff for you!
