The Mission Hills Farmers Market Debut - in Photos
It looked like the little market on Falcon St. got a nice turnout for its debut last Friday. There were a number of familiar folks -- Smit Orchards, Suzie's Farm, Poppa's Fish, Jackie's Jams, and, as always Baba Hummus.
I picked up some beautiful peaches, apricots, and nectarines at Smit Orchards; small tomatoes and a lovely miniature white cucumber at Suzie's Farm; and some interesting products, including a large flat bread called Parath/Boulani, which was stuffed with spinach, ginger, and garlic, and a roasted garlic dip -- from Zaiqa Kitchens. I ran into friends who were shopping, and literally into happy little kids wandering around with lovely fruit juices dripping onto their hands and chins. It was a sunny afternoon with neighbors and dogs enjoying each other and the goods being sold.
The market appears again today (Friday) from 3 to 7 p.m. on Falcon St. between Washington and Ft. Stockton.

Any good meat/poultry, egg, or dairy vendors? I sure wish there were more of these at SD area farmers markets, esp in north county near the coast.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any last week. Remember, they're just starting out. You can find all these at the Little Italy Mercato, the Hillcrest farmers market -- and cheese from Taste at the North Park and Adams Ave. markets.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I don't get up to the North County markets very often so I can't tell you if any of those have poultry, eggs, or dairy. Perhaps a reader out there can help with that???
Thanks for the note!
They have a beef vendor whose ranch is just 2 hrs away - good stuff! Also, I heard that next week they will have pasta and eggs! More info at:
