It’s that beautiful time of the year when we’re straddling between summer and fall. You can walk outside without feeling scorched. Amazing. But before we know it, the markets will be closed for winter. That’s why you should go to your local farmers market this weekend. Excellent logic, I know.
Coppell Farmers Market: Even though it’s squash time, you can still find a lot of summer veggies. Tomatoes, cucumbers, tomatillos, peppers, onions, eggplant, okra, potatoes, herbs, and garlic will all be at the market this week. And since it’s the fifth Saturday of the month, Good Earth Organic will have small organic tomatoes at the market this weekend.

Don’t miss Texas Hill Country Olive Oil’s jalapeno-infused terra verde, garlic-infused extra virgin olive oil, and fig balsamic vinegar. Stock up on Lucido’s fresh black pepper linguine, basil garlic angel hair, and shrimp scampi ravioli.

Oak Lawn United Methodist Church (OLUMC) Farmers Market: Market guy, Byron Proutt, has a few special words about the vendors for this week. Here’s a preview of what to expect:
Canon Coffee Roasters (https://www.facebook.com/CanonCoffee) (Richardson, Texas)
Now this is a fairly new vendor to OLUMC Farmers Market. They gave me a cup sample of their coffee and I was floored! I drink coffee, yes, but I never thought that there’s much a difference when compared to my store-bought coffee. WOW! This coffee was fresh with a palpable flavor that made me want to buy a case! Yes, it was THAT good. Another member of OLUMC posted on FB “I don’t even drink coffee and I really liked it!”, -OLUMC Member, Carly R.
