Meet Carlos, a regular customer who loves that he can pick up dinner and shop for groceries, right near his house!

Carlos

Where do you live?  Up the street, Valencia and 21st.

How often do you come to the MCM?  About every week.

What are you buying?  Bok choy, collards, and cilantro from Nyia Yi Farms, green leaf lettuce from Blue House, and a chicken from Roli Roti.

What’s your favorite part of the market?  I like having a farmers’ market close to where I live, just down the block.  I’m also glad that the market takes place at night, which is a better fit for my schedule. I like other farmers’ markets but I can’t always go to them.

What’s the best kept secret at MCM, or something you would like people to know about?  People should know that there are produce vendors and also food vendors…they can buy food that’s ready to eat.

Sliced Strawberries

O, glorious strawberry season!  How long have we waited for it to arrive?!  It seems like years. Well, at least one. We are so excited to be getting delicious, plump, juicy strawberries now in season from Yerena Farms at MCM.  This week, Tomatero Farms joins the mix and they’ll have berries as well!

If you have any will power at all, and you actually have some uneaten strawberries in your basket by the time you get home, make this delicious strawberry-spinach salad filled with candied walnuts and optional bacon vinaigrette!

People of MCM: Ane & Luke

Meet Ane and Luke, who are newcomers to the area, but are excited to have the MCM in their backyard!

 

Where do you live?  In the Mission, we moved here about a month ago.

How often do you come to the MCM?  We have tried to come to the market every week since we’ve been here.  I [Ane] get excited about Thursdays!

What are you buying?  Today, we’ve bought pasta from Home Maid, oranges from Twin Girls, apples from K & J Orchards, kale from Blue House, and Broncha cheese from Achadinha Cheese Company.

What’s your favorite part of the market? It depends! I think it’s exciting to be able to get something to eat here, like a 4505 Meats burger, there’s something to crave.  But, everything here is special in it’s own way, so I can’t just choose one!

What’s the best-kept secret at MCM, or something you would like people to know about? We want people to know about it!  When Luke walked past and realized that the market was here, we both came back the same day to shop.  People should come check it out because it’s good…. and try everything!  Every week, we pick something different and get it.  This week, we’re going to eat the apples and cheese together.
