By Carolina Lysse, Manzanita Farmers Market Manager
Thanks to everyone who came out in the rain last week! Our vendors fought through wind and rain during setup, and we so appreciate everyone who rewarded their efforts by braving the weather. Vibes were high in spite of the weather, everyone has had a chance to dry off, and we’re ready to do it again!
I’ve been feasting on strawberries this week, and they are so sweet. I opted for fresh onions over carrots last week, but I’m looking forward to buying a bunch for snacking on Friday. NeahKahNie Smokehouse smoked salmon is always a favorite, and this week we’ll have 2 new seafood vendors! Pearl Point Oyster Farm will be bringing fresh oysters for your Memorial Day grilling plans, and Tre Fin Seafood is rejoining us after a couple year hiatus with locally caught fish. We’re excited to have a Pacific presence at the market, the ocean is what defines our home and we want to celebrate it!
This week’s music is Earl and his Reggae All Stars, who bring the high vibe, interactive original reggae dance party. These guys really bring the stage energy, and this will be a perfect week to get some dinner, hang out at the picnic tables, and dance with your friends. See you Friday!
Manzanita Farmers Market is 4-7 on Fridays at 635 Manzanita Ave behind City Hall. We accept and match SNAP benefits, spend $20 in SNAP and get $60 to spend at the market, every week. Visit us at the info booth at the main entrance to run your card and learn more.
