Saturday: New Items at 14th & U Farmers Market
See what’s coming to the 14th & Farmers Market on August 21. (Alejandra Owens)
Here’s a list of some of the new food items that will be at the 14th & U Farmers Market on Saturday, August 21. From the market:
- Four different Sweet Potatoes at Mountain View: “Grill them in slices or whole. Season with lime and cumin, salt and pepper. Seriously good. And they make wonderful fries.”
- Fingerling Potatoes at MtV: “The French answer to steamed potatoes. Top with olive oil and chopped parsley. Try some tarragon with it and chives…”
- Lamb Sausage and Sweet Italian Sausage at Pecan Meadow.
- Muscovy Duck for the first time this year–whole and breast.
- Chicken, whole and in parts; pre order at [email protected].
Remember that market has a great Facebook Page with regular updates.
I’m going to get some kale and put it in my hemp bag.
I believe there are some nice artisanal bags for sale on some weekends.
I particularly like this farmers market because it is not overwhelming like the Dupont one. There are just enough vendors for you to find what you need, not get lost, pushed around by the crowd, and get out. Kudos U Street and Freshfarm Markets!
