Two weeks ago, our Chef’s Market Box was so popular that we had to put a limit on the number sold!  You can get a jump on your weekly meal planning and order your Chef’s Market Box today for this Thursday, July 12th. This week’s recipe comes to us from from Chef Ryan Baker of Cuisine Naturelle and Naked Kitchen SF. The recipe he’s designed exclusively for the Mission Community Market is freshly-made tagliarini pasta tossed with broccolini, summer squash, spring onions and mint, alongside a beet salad with fennel, radishes and tarragon. The box will include everything you’ll need to create this delicious seasonal meal! Place your order today for pickup or delivery this Thursday!

 

Esmeralda and Javier: Vendors of the Week!

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Mission Community Market in Artists, Blog, Vendor of the Week, Vendors, Zia Designs | Leave a comment

Esmeralda Padilla and Javier Martinez of ZIA are our vendors of the Week! Esmeralda and Javier joined our market this year selling tees and tanks bearing their original screen prints. Javier’s art features grecas, skulls and masks.  He draws inspiration for his unique art from his Mexican heritage. Esmeralda’s art features succulents and other plants and is greatly inspired by Victorian-era nature illustration. Sustainability is important to Javier and Esmeralda, so they make sure that their tops are 98% American-made and each one is hand-printed with love by the artists!

This Thursday, July 5th, we’re excited to offer a special promotion featuring ZIA designs. If you purchase anything from ZIA this week at the market, you will receive a $2 credit towards any purchase at a farm stall at the market for use this Thursday or on any subsequent week.  That’s right–buy some rad apparel designed by local artists, get $2 off your purchase of figs, peaches, salad mix, or just about anything else the farmers have on offer.  It’s a win-win!

Come meet these talented local artists this Thursday at the market!

If you weren’t able to make it out to the Mission Mercado last night, there’s some bad news and good news.  The bad news is, you missed one of the best markets so far this season! The good news is, you can find us at 22nd and Bartlett every Thursday from 4 pm til 8pm, so you’ll get another chance next week to join in on the fun.

The weather set the tone for the market, with plenty of midday sunshine reminding us that yes, summer is actually here! And just in case you weren’t sure about that, the bounty of colorful tomatoes from Happy Boy Farms made that fact undeniably clear!  It was the perfect kind of day to enjoy a watermelon-mint popsicle from Pop Nation!

Those who had pre-ordered a Chef’s Market Box featuring the 4505 Meats burger and a fennel-nectarine side salad were not disappointed! We had a great team of MCM volunteers and some awesome folks from Good Eggs prepping the boxes for delivery and pickup and everything went off without a hitch. If you missed your chance to get a piece of the market box action, don’t worry!  There will be a new market box on offer the week after next, so keep an eye out for what delicious meal curated by a local chef you’ll be cooking next.

As always, MCM was thrilled to feature some very talented local musicians. First up was Steffy Sue, who entertained MCM patrons with some delightful, toe-tappin’ tunes on the ukulele! She was followed by La Orquestra 24, who were so loved by the crowd of eager salsa dancers and fans that they couldn’t stop playing until well after 8pm!

Not to be outdone by the musicians, the amazing Dilsa Lugo, La Cocina graduate and owner of catering company Los Cilantros offered an informative cooking demo at the market this week, passing her traditional Mexican cuisine expertise on to the masses.

Last night’s market reminded us all that 22nd and Bartlett is the place to be on Thursday evenings!  We hope you love the small, intimate feel of the market and getting to know each small business owner on a personal level. Over the next few weeks come back for amazing summer figs, crazy tomatoes and a surprise new treat for dinner…

See you next Thursday!
