Want to talk about local food & health?


Next Monday and Tuesday (11/10 and 11/11), a “listening crew” for a new documentary called Healthy America will be visiting the region. They plan to stop in at Boone Street Market, and I’m wondering if any of you would be interested in being there during their visit so they could hear from you about how having access to local food (thru the farmers market, store) is improving your health?

I don’t yet know the schedule, but if you are 1) interested and 2) willing to hear about it on short notice…will you please let me know? Click here to email me at jbolocallygrown@gmail.com.

Thanks!
Karen

Well known lesson, check and double check spelling before hitting ‘send’. Apologies for the misspelling, Roy!

Roy is the wonderful musician and volunteer who has helped organize music at the market since we opened in 2008. We appreciate him greatly!

Last Saturday...and opening day at Boone Street Market


Sunny and 68 degrees, what a perfect day for our last market on the street. We would like to thank everyone for their tremendous support this season, we’ve had a very successful market and have you to thank for it.

The farmers are still producing a wide variety of vegetables so bring a bag and support their continued efforts to provide you with fresh, locally grown produce.

Music will be provided by the Sanders Sisters. A big thank you to all the musicians and Roy Andrea. Every Saturday music rings out, people dance in the street and our little market rocks!

You are invited to the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct 29 at 11am, and to our grand opening Saturday Nov 1st, with music, samples, and special member discounts! Details about opening activities here: Opening Week Invite.

Boone Street Market & Storytelling


The stories are being told and I have one for you.

Boone Street Market will open its doors for the first time this weekend, with a fundraiser during the festival. We will be serving up some great home-made and locally-grown dishes all weekend, and invite all of you to drop by, have something to eat and check out our new store. We will be open Friday and Saturday 8am to 8pm, Sunday 8 to 4.

See our storytelling menu here. Dona Eva will also be in the store with her tamales, and Kathy Waldo/The Fig Lady and will have a variety of treats for sale! Plus market tshirts, bags and one-of-a-kind market aprons custom made by Sophie & Grace.

As usual, a devoted team of volunteers and market contributors are behind this! A special thanks to our Store Advisory Board volunteer Karen Tallman for giving us the inspiration to do it, and making it happen! You won’t want to miss her delicious soups, full of market ingredients!

See you in the store!
