Alta Cucina Italia on the market this week (Monthly Order)
Order their award winning, local, small batch tomato sauces, balsamic vinegars, pestos, infused olive oils, and more this weekend. We only order from them once a month so please keep this in mind when ordering. Ordered items will be at this Wednesday's pick up.
Adriana uses organic herbs and fruits for the balsamic & olive oils. Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar that comes from Italy, it's not certified organic but free of GMOs. In Italy all 20 regions are against the cultivation of GMOs.
I love the crema balsamica! Makes a great salad dressing - just mix with EVOO, sea salt & pepper add a little dijon for mustard kick. Sometimes I don't even mix, I just drizzle over my salad greens. Too easy!
Order Alta Cucina items this weekend!

Eggs
Sarah, from Restored Earth Farm, has chickens just now laying eggs to help fill any potential egg gaps. She has a mix of olive green, blue, brown, and white eggs from free range chickens given ORGANIC feed! These eggs are small because they are the first eggs from this flock. She will only list a few.
May God bless our farmers that endure this heat to bring us amazing produce, milk, meat, eggs and endure this heat!!

New flavor & texture of Lemon Sourdough Muffins from Azuki’s Kitchen!
Your feedback really makes a difference to our vendors and farmers!!
Miki thanks you for your feedback and has improved on the flavor and texture of her lemon muffins. Most comments were it was a little bitter but you liked that it wasn't overly sweet. The new taste and texture of Lemon Sourdough Muffins will be ready to order this weekend! She’ll provide samples at pick up next week too.
Build out Update
Update: More progress this week! Bathroom walls and HVAC installed! New website is almost done and I hope to launch in the next couple of weeks. I'll continue to keep you all posted and give everyone plenty of notice before we move. As of right now we are probably still a couple of months out depending on how fast permits will be issued...
