Funky Friday Farmers Market at BADSEED - A MUST ON FRIDAYS IN THE CROSSROADS

People of Distinguished Appetite,

Summer is upon us! And that could mean nothing other than TOMATOES! The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived, so get ‘em while they’re hot. I don’t think us organic growers are looking at a long season for these tender gems as this excessive moisture spreads disease like wildfire. So let these next few weeks be a celebration of the diverse fruits you see here!

For us growers, summer signifies a lifting of the planting burden. Now we’re reaping the fruits of our labor. Although some may claim them as vegetables, these fruits now include eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, summer squash, beans and much more!

Come see all of the following crazy urban growers this Friday night from 4:30 - 9 PM at the BADSEED, and enjoy the feast!


Brooke and Dan
BADSEED Farm
1201 W. Bannister Rd.

Summer begins with squash. We’ve been diligently monitoring our pests this year, determined to minimize the loss of our beloved squash plants. We now have a varied selection of heirloom summer squash and zucchini!

We also have a good number of TOMATOES. Come taste from fantastic varieties like Mortgage Lifter, Ivory Egg, Thai Pink Egg, and Green Zebra, to name a few.

Heirloom EGGPLANT: these enormous fruits melt in your mouth when sautéed with our garlic. Pick up some of Goatsbeard’s Taum Salk to make amazing Eggplant Parmesan.

And still more to tantalize your taste buds: juicy cucumbers, incredible Purple Mosaic yard-long NOODLE BEANS, FRESHLY pulled onions, the best damn GARLIC this side of the Pacific, red, golden, and striped beets, gorgeous rainbow chard, big beautiful kale bunches, even bigger bunches of BASIL, as well as great deals on organic thyme, oregano, parsley, sage, and more.


Lew Edminster
The Herb’n Gardener
17th and Belleview

Have you seen Lew’s ZINNIAS?! Lew loves his flowers, and he has the most beautiful bouquets available every week. We need the tremendous beauty of these homegrown flowers as much as we need good food!!

That said, Lew will also have plenty of good food. More and more tomatoes, in addition to delicious salad greens and an assortment of other summer goodies.


Steve Mann
Platte Prairie Farm
From The Northland
The Squash Father has spread his seed, apparently, because we’ve been seeing quite a bit of summer squash on his market table of late. We’re also in store for more freshly dug potatoes, and other delightful treats from Steve’s own no-till garden.


Kay Peoples
The Curious Canine
We welcome Kay as a new BADSEED vendor! If you’re tired of questioning your own ethics, start questioning those of your dog, instead. Kay makes doggie food and treats from local organic meats. Come sniff around and see if you can find something yummy for your best friend, man.


Of course, we will continue to have FREE RANGE EGGS and assorted sweet and savory baked goods from Bread of Life Bakery.

Also, GOATSBEARD CHEESE, both aged and fresh, including varieties like FETA, Prairie Bloom, Walloon, Osage Orange, and Herbed Rounds!!!
