Thanks to you, our devoted customers, BROOKSIDE FARMERS’ MARKET is truly a lively, growing market! Check out all the new vendors, activities and music on the new upper “garden” level. We will be full on both levels this week. To show our appreciation, we are making you a special offer. Bring a new friend to the market and you each get $2 off a purchase.

Big FLAVOR this week:
The Good You mobile eatery is bringing organic street-side goodies!
“at the good you, we believe that dining out doesn't always need to involve a knife and fork; or even a table. the idea of creating food to be enjoyed on the go is an art we've put our passion into. while supporting local farmers and purveyors, we want to provide a creative and honorable approach to street-side edibles that is both urban and organic.”
eat well…be well…good you.
we will be serving up the best burger in Kansas City!- on Farm to Market sesame brioche with cheese, greens and our very special sauce, and also a jerk chicken sandwich- details yet to be decided! and for our non-carnivorous eaters we'll have a grilled vegetable gyro on whole wheat pita from Jerusalem Bakery with feta and tzatziki. for drinks we will bring cans of Blue Sky all-natural sodas in assorted flavors for $2 each. all sandwiches will be priced at $6.
Here’s what’sFUN!
Kids – drive your cats crazy. We’ll be planting free catnip for kids to take home in Children’s Corner from 10 to 12! Have your kids bring their friends – and their friends’ parents! Also, our new favorite band named, ahemmm “Mark and John” will be playing all day!

NUTRESSANT
Two weeks ago at this market, someone shared with us the anti-aging
benefits of Green Tea and asked if we would be able to make soap and
lotion with green tea. So, we did a little research and the benefits of green
tea on the skin are amazing......second only to water. Since I am
not a fan of drinking tea, I am especially excited with this. You will now
find the Green Tea Body Butter and Green Tea Face Cream on our table,
and we have added Lavender Essential Oil which is also really good for the
skin. The soap is still curing and we won't have it available for a couple
more weeks. So, we are looking forward to the responsible person to
come by and check this out, so we can say "Thank You!" John and Sandy

The cheese kitchen is incredibly busy these days! That’s good news for YOU: it means we have lots of lovely fresh and aged artisan sheep’s milk cheese on hand.

Back Acres Farm
Check out the feature on Back Acres Farm on our Facebook page!
This Saturday, we’ll have the same great-tasting spinach, lettuces, and arugula. Perhaps a few more cabbages, strawberries, peas, beets and turnips. We’ll be back with the freezer full of our pastured pork, as well. We are excited about the new banner and shirts for the market. Now, you’ll be able to recognize our stand from a distance!
We have been especially enjoying the beets and turnips the past few days. Both are delicious raw or cooked. Tonight, for dinner we will be having pork chops, mashed turnips, coleslaw, and goat milk. Yummy, and we are so thankful for the bounty.
I thought I’d share a recipe for Turnip Slaw:
4 C pared and shredded turnips
2 diced apples
To make sauce, mix 2 T chopped parsley, 2 T minced onion, ½ C sour cream, 1 T vinegar, 1 T honey, salt/pepper to taste
Mix it all up and enjoy!
May you all be blessed with safety from the storms through the rest of the week,
