March 2024 Newsletter 2 - Edinboro Market

Despite the chilly winds, it’s full Spring ahead here at the Market!

This week, the Squirrel Squad is going nuts over organic parnsips, carrots and rutabaga from Clarion River Organics, a restock of stuffed grape leaves from Jemila Foods, and loads of Easter basket goodness from Edinboro Chocolaterie.

Thank you to Steve and Sheryl Odom of Hogs & Honey for taking time to Meet & Greet with our staff and patrons on Sunday, March 17. They sampled some of their honey and their signature Bee Slo hand and body creams.

This month, we’ve been digging into The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food by Andrew Friedman, which explores all the processes and behind-the-scenes action in the food-to-restaurant labor chain. The classic adage “it takes a village” is especially true when you think about how many people it takes to grow, deliver, and make a meal from scratch! The Dish specifically dives into how food was sourced for the now-closed Wherewithall restaurant in Chicago, IL which focused on serving healthy and affordable seasonal American cuisine. For those who are more suited to learning from sound bytes, check out Episode 799 of The Splendid Table Podcast for a recap of this great book and an additional discussion of Arielle Johnson’s book Flavorama: A Guide to Unlocking the Art and Science of Flavor.

Next time you’re about to savor that first bite at your favorite local restaurant, take a moment to pause and thank the dozens of folks that brought that food from the ground, to the restaurant, to your plate!
The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food is available through the Erie County Library system.

Take the survey now: 3/22/24 is the last day to share your thoughts!

Heads up: seedling sale TBA in May!

This year, instead of doing pre-order seedling sales we will host a pop-up sale on two weekends in late May. Through this collaborative effort between Stephanie Thauer of Raintree Farms/Conscious Food Project and Stephanie Ciner of Wild Field Urban Farm we’re able to offer approximately 120 heirloom, non-GMO plants, including several tomato, pepper, and basil varieties, along with eggplants, tomatillos and ground cherries.

All seedlings are $5 each. Sorry, we’re not able to offer preorders or hold plants. The date will be announced as we get closer to the last frost date, probably, early May. Keep an eye our social media accounts, our newsletter, and in the market!
