Market Day

Pictured: Belle Plaine Gardens "Vision" corn

Corn

A sure sign of the seasons changing is the arrival of corn season! It's bittersweet – I mean, hooray for fresh local corn (!) but OMG is it really almost fall?! Ok, don't panic yet; the first day of fall isn't until Sept 22...ugh. 

Let's focus on the positive – Spring Creek Gardens and Lincoln Gardens will have corn available tomorrow! Belle Plaine Gardens will have some on Saturday, and our other veg producers won't be far behind.

Market Under the Stars - Round 2!

The second round of Market Under the Stars is THIS THURSDAY! Many of your favourite Tasting Booths will be back, but not everything is the same. Some menus may change, and Malinche, Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria, and Do Si Donut will be joining us for the first time. The music will be changing as well; on the stage Aug 17 is Danny Olliver, The Alley Dawgs, and Andino Suns. Check out the Event Schedule and Taste Menu for more details.

In an effort to improve the customer experience at Market Under the Stars, we're adding more signage. Watch for square signs on EVERY booth noting whether they take tickets only (sign pictured) or cash only. While we try to keep the two categories separate, they all look the same to customers. The Ticket Tent is over on the west side of the Plaza, which is difficult to see if you enter from the east side. We hope the addition of large TICKET banners will help with visability. Feel free to stop by the Ticket Tent on Thursday evening if you have questions or comments!

Customer Rewards via flok

If you've got 20 punches on your flok virtual punch card, tomorrow's reward is sponsored by Reid's Artisanal Butchery. Take 20% off your purchase and get coaching from Chef Greg on how to best prepare the cut of meat you've chosen. 

You can download the flok app and get in on the rewards, too! Just check out this page for more information.
