| Wild Onion Market is two years old! Happy Birthday to us! To celebrate, we’re throwing ourselves a birthday party this weekend! Join us Saturday, June 13 from 11am – 5pm for an entire day of festivities, music, samples from 4 Suns Kitchen, giveaways, and great community. Plus, all shoppers (non-owners included) can enjoy 10% off local products, excluding produce. This discount extends until June 14th for owners. |
| Want to celebrate two years of being at the heart of an ever-growing, flourishing community dedicated to good local food? The best gift you can give (and receive) is to become an owner and feel the impact of participating in something bigger than yourself. Eat your values! |
| The heat is heavy this week, but the good news is that it’s making for some deliciously ripe, juicy, and enormous produce! We’re talkin’ cabbage as big as our heads (see below)! It’s already tomato season at Wild Onion, and we’re drooling over these red slicers from Common Roots Market. Have you heard of Bee Cool Honey Farm? Their pollinators have been hard at work, helping the land produce the red butter salanova, green butterhead lettuce, and spinach we just got in store! In from Millers Farm Fresh Produce, we’re so excited to cook up some super tender yellow zucchini. Don’t miss out on our recipe of the week for ideas for how to combine all of these ingredients! |
