We want to thank you, our community, for helping make the Kensington Farmers' Market all that it is with a piping hot cup of free coffee from Catahoula Coffee Co. & Roastery (more...)! All you have to do is stop by Colusa Circle this Sunday to receive your cost-free caffeine fix. Just our little way of saying thanks!

 

And if you want a way of thanking your body for all the hard work it does, be sure to stop by the Tomatero Organic Farm (more...) booth for their fresh, organic lettuces and kales. At a price of three bunches for five dollars, it's hard to beat that value or nutritional profile. One cup of kale contains 5 grams of fiber, 15% of the daily requirement of calcium, 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. Try this recipe for a tasty introduction to this queen of greens.

 

The other queen at the market this week is our musical entertainment, Wendy Dewitt, the Queen of Boogie Woogie (more...)! Called a "sweet-voiced chanteuse" by Blues Revue magazine, you're sure to enjoy Ms. Dewitt's Chicago blues stylings.  

 

Thanks again, and thanks in advance for the way that local eating shapes our future. By supporting local farmers today, you can help ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow and that future generations will have access to nourishing, flavorful, and abundant food.

 

Living la vida locavore!
