Downtown Market Goodies for May 26

Remember to check out the new 290 Manor Farmers Market this Sat. in the New Tech High School parking lot from 3-7pm! This week at the downtown market we'll have:

Frank the Honey Man is returning to the market with his first batch of spring wild flower honey. It was a good winter for Frank's hives with 18 surviving. This honey is a little darker than last spring because there is so much horsemint this year. Horsemint aka wedding cake flower is the wildflower you see that has one long stem and separate round bunches of flowers all the way up. Colors are from white to purple. Smells like, well, mint. Once you know what it is you'll see it everywhere this year.

Burt's Texas Garden: This week, we will have Zucchini, Potatoes, Herbs, Beets, and Onions. In the canned goods department, we will have Jalapeno Jelly, Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Jelly, Chow-Chow, and Pickled Beets. No eggs this week.

Munkebo Farm will have potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, magenta spreen (spinach family), carrots, onions, chard, oregano, cucumbers, dried herbs, Piedmontese beef, duck eggs, sesame ginger dressing, balsamic vinaigrette, hummus, artichoke dip, organic blueberry pie, cherry pie and organic apple pie

Gordon will have a whole bunch of carrots, sweet onions, lot's of potatoes, a ton of couple varieties of squash, some tomatoes and chard. Homemade pickled beets, apple butter and blackberry jam.

Ray the Noodle Man will have homemade Texas Wendish Heritage Society noodles for sale. Just like his Momma used to make.

Laverne & Bloorhouse are combined this week with yellow squash, blackberries, salsa, homemade bread & farm fresh eggs from happy healthy chickens.

Mata Tamales: Three generations of the Mata family come together to make tamales for Manor. To the market they will bring chicken, pork or bean and cheese tamales. Special orders for jalapeno cheese or beef may be made in advance by calling 517-1441.

Kala's Kuisine: will be at the market offering Mo Mos, Samosas, rice noodle salads, hummus and pesto in addition to her sauces from very hot to sweet. Curry-Tabasco, Mango Chutney, Chutney Salsa, Mirchi-Masala and Curry- Chipotle Salsa. Stop by for a sample.
