Clark Park market report, 5 June

Thursday, June 05, 2008

I’d completely forgotten that the Clark Park Thursday market started up today, but then I saw people walking up the street eating strawberries...and then I saw the tents.  There’re definitely fewer vendors than on Saturday mornings, so it’s an easier market to miss (if, say, you were driving by instead of walking), but there was still a good amount of variety.  For non-farm stands, there’s Betty’s Tasty Buttons (wonderful chocolate) and Big Sky Bakery (mostly bread, but I think they also do cinnamon rolls). 

The farms there today were Eden Grove farm, which had spring onions, lettuces, asparagus, and strawberries; Quaff Valley Farm, which had lettuces, strawberries, radishes, and eggs; Mountainview Poultry, with chicken, turkey, and various poultry products; Landisdale Farm, with strawberries, snap peas, shelling peas, lettuces, kales, pac choi, and their usual selection of eggs and dairy; and Backyard Bison, with various kinds of bison products.

(I bought hot bison jerky stick things and asparagus.)
