Meatballs are this week’s Fresh Pick of the Week at the valley’s Certified Farmers’ Markets. 

Meatballs, you might ask! The answer is absolutely yes! The Meatball Syndicate, the result of Guy Mindle and Justin Braviroff’s love of Meatballs, flavors from around the world, and cooking, offers a variety of hand crafted Meatballs and sauces. Their meats are all natural, free range, and HMO and GMO free. The majority of their produce comes from our Palm Springs Certified Farmers' Market vendors, and their spices are provided by the Savory Spice Shop in Palm Desert. And talk about flavor! These are not your grandma’s meatballs. They’re better! Choose from Chicken Tikka Masala, The Meatball Syndicate Italian, Mexican Albondigas, Poulet a la Mosmbe, Korean Meatballs and more!

Did You Know: Meatballs from The Meatball Syndicate are available by the pound, and there are handcrafted sauces for all the flavors to enhance the Meatballs. They’re all you need for dinner!
Price: Meatballs are $16 per pound or three pounds for $42; Sauces are $10 per container or three for $25

The Certified Farmers’ Markets are the Coachella Valley’s only State and County Certified Farmers’ Markets. That means all the fruits, vegetables, meats and other products that are on sale at the markets have been grown on California Certified farms. In addition, almost all the farms are located within a 90 mile radius of the markets (thus reducing the carbon footprint), and many of the products sold are “USDA Certified Organic.”

All Certified Farmers’ Markets accept CalFresh EBT Cards, WIC Farmers’ Market Checks, and Senior Farmers’ Market Checks. The Markets also offer Market Bucks that can be purchased using charge cards or cash, then used at the market for purchases.

The Certified Farmers Markets are sponsored by the Palm Springs Cultural Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which was established to encourage the development of the cultural arts in the Coachella Valley with a specific focus in the areas of film, fine art, live performance, dance, music, and community festivals. The Center is dedicated to advancing education, to nurturing community-wide participation in the cultural arts, and to sponsoring scholarship awards for deserving individuals.
