Vendors

We're Back Inside Y'all!

Beginning Saturday our vendors will be back inside the market! The City Limits Cafe is open as is the Genuine MS Store, so we'd like in on the fun! Some of the stalls will be situated so that our shoppers can enter each stall from the outside as well as the from the inside center aisle. By all means visit your go-to vendor, but please make sure you shop the entire market...you never know what you might find! Some of the artisans will be back soon too. COVID safe practices should still be followed - social distancing and face masks. We'll see you Saturday at the MFM!

Spotlight on Artichokes

You can find home-grown artichokes at the Dolly Farms stall. Visit with Ric - he will help you choose exactly the perfect "chokes" for dinner!

Check out a recipe for stuffed artichokes here - so, so good!

Can you image what the person who first came upon an artichoke thought? Is it an alien pod? A baby pineapple? Do we eat it or use it as a decorative accessory? Well, no, no, yes, and yes!

The artichoke is actually the bud of a thistle - a flower. The leaves (called "bracts") cover a fuzzy center called the "choke", which sits on top of a meaty core, called the "heart". The heart is completely edible and delicious. The fuzzy choke is too fibrous to eat in regular artichokes, but edible in baby artichokes. All but the innermost leaves are tough and you have to scrape them with your teeth to eat the tender parts. Choose artichokes that feel heavy. If you squeeze an artichoke the leaves should squeak. The leaves should be closed with just a little separation, not flayed wide open. Frost-kissed artichokes are very good.
