Mar Vista Farmer’s Market Wrap-Up January 29, 2012

Mar Vista Mom — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:05:42 +0000

Absolutely gorgeous day at the Mar Vista Farmer’s Market today! Feels like summer in January. There are brussels sprouts,and Cara Cara oranges, plus tulips for Valentine’s Day planning… Two sweets today: Franny Bakes and Sassy Sultry Sweets. More Valentine’s ideas?? Hmmm….

Plus there’s a new Cheese booth with Chris Vamos, the MilkMan, bringing in cheeses from Sebastopol. His special is if you buy two hunks of cheese, the 2nd one is 5% off; buy three and the 3rd is 10% off, and so on. He’s also running a very limited super crazy special: bring him a “Legit piece of cheese art“* and you’ll get a 1/4 pound of cheese free, while supplies last.

And in the MVCC Green Booth, Mike, the Urban Organic Gardener, was there, showing off his tried and true methods for container gardening, especially for apartment dwellers.

*You must speak with Chris to get his definition of “Legit piece of cheese art.”

On Sat. 1/28 donations can be made from 9:30 until 1:30. Simply enter through the school gate which will be open w/ signage on Lucille Ave. (street on southside of campus off Walgrove). People can drive through onto the blacktop until they see signs on the left to the garden; and they can park anywhere on the blacktop close to the garden gate. There will be plenty of signage in the garden as the refreshments will be put in a shady place near “registration” probably just inside the gate to the garden.

Thank you, Mar Vista!
