Little Italy Mercato



	RESPECT YOUR MOTHER Earth Day's coming: recycle while you shop at the Little Italy Mercato. Get credit on your next purchase when you return empty jars to Happy Pantry, Green Fix, Popcakery, PB Peanut Butter and Celeste's Hot and Sweet Relish. Swap your glass pints of Na Pali Coast Frozen Organics ice cream. Return egg cartons to Descanso Valley Ranch and Schaner Farms for re-use. Bring a reusable bag or pick one up at the Info Booth at India and Cedar. Mother Earth will love you for it.

	CONTEMPLATE YOUR NAVEL It's always citrus season at the Little Italy farmers' market, but juicy navel oranges are almost gone. Stop at Polito Farms or Heritage Family Farm and take a big bag home to section and toss with red onion from Suzie's Farm and Sage Mountain Farms' spinach for a perfect salad. Marinate fresh quail from Spur Valley Ranch in orange juice and cumin before grilling. Stretch the season by making candied orange peels or this easy marmalade. Squeezy does it! Catch KUSI's Dave Scott tomorrow morning at the Little Italy Mercato to learn about how farmers are dealing with the drought.

Including the
mini-Mercato for all your essentials.
