It was a busy day in the beautiful sunshine at yesterday’s Winter Farmers Market. In case you missed it, here is a sample of what will be in store when they do it all again next weekend, March 30th. Same time 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., same place adjacent to Nat Bailey Stadium at 30th & Ontario. For more information as to which vendors are at the market next week, checkout their website www.eatlocal.org.
I recently had the pleasure of attending an artisan bread making class presented by local artisan bread maker, Chris Brown, of Rise Artisan Bakery. Chris sells his delicious artisan breads at the Winter Farmers Market held at Nat Bailey Stadium. He will be there in good form this Saturday, March 23rd along with his hot cross buns just in time for Easter. What is notable is that Chris also makes world class orange Seville marmalade and I do mean world class. Chris recently entered his marmalade “The Bitter End” in the World’s Original Marmalade Awards held in Penrith, England. There were over 1,500 entrants from around the world. Chris made away with the Silver Medal in the Artisan Category. I can attest that the marmalade is really that good, in my humble opinion. The award winning marmalade will also be available at this weekend’s Winter Farmers Market at Nat Bailey Stadium 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. To learn more about Rise Artisan Bakery, check out their Facebook page. Congratulations Chris!
