EPA Market Update (12/12/09): stock up on your favorites

Este email viene en español al fin del mensaje.

We don't want to jinx ourselves, but we've been blessed with sunny and dry market days all season long. Quick! Find some wood, and knock on it. We certainly just did, because there still remain two market days before we go into winter hibernation. With these chilly temperatures, who can blame us?

But until then, we will be setting up and having fun at 2415 University Avenue each Saturday until December 19th, when we've got a little celebration planned. Mark your calendars, because we'll have complimentary hot apple cider and plenty of warm cheer to celebrate the end of our second season.

Please note that our last market day of the season on December 19 is fast approaching, so it's time to spend those Fresh Checks before they expire at the end of the year.

In addition to our normal selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, we expect to have the following delicious items:

* organic green beans;

* grapes (wow!);

* tangerines, lemons, and oranges (citrus is golden);

* avocados (yes, you heard us);

* pomegranates and persimmons;

* organic veggies, including onions, carrots, celery, and lettuce;

* more greens than you can shake a fist at;

* tomatoes (they're still delicious);
* strawberries (from Salinas);

* nopales, chayote, cilantro, chard, cucumbers, broccoli, mint, basil, and other vegetables; and

* much more!

EBT/food stamps, WIC and Senior FMNP checks always accepted.

* EBT: the market accepts EBT/food stamps every Saturday.

* WIC: we're happy to accept WIC FMNP market coupons.

* EPA Fresh Checks: if eligible, we'll give you $5 to spend at the Market. For more information, click here.

Sólo quedan dos días del Mercado antes de que entremos en la hibernación para el invierno. Hasta ahora, todos nuestros días del Mercado han sido soleados y secos. ¡Hemos tenido mucha suerte!

Nuestro último día del año será 19 de Diciembre, entonces ahora es tiempo de gastar sus Fresh Checks antes de que el año termine.

Además de nuestra selección normal de productos deliciosos, nosotros esperamos tener:

* ejotes orgánicos;

* uvas deliciosas;

* mandarinas;

* verduras orgánicas, incluyendo cebollas, zanahorias, apio, y lechuga;

* jitomates;
* fresas (de Salinas);

* nopales, chayote, basil, cilantro, pepinos, brocoli, mint, y otras verduras; and

* y much más!

Siempre aceptamos EBT/food stamps, WIC y Senior FMNP checks.
