Where do you live?  29th and Dolores

How often do you come to the MCM?  Every week!

What are you buying?  I’m buying all my ingredients for a big Passover seder dinner I’m hosting for 25 guests this weekend.  I’ve got asparagus from Zuckerman’s Farm, fennel, beets, and cauliflower from Blue House, and mushrooms from Far West Fungi.

What’s your favorite part of the market? I love grabbing dinner at Chaac-Mool or Onigilly.

What’s the best kept secret at MCM, or something you would like people to know about?  If you believe in supporting community markets, this is one of the best examples possible.

Great music & Great food

This Thursday March 14th we have an amazing market planned for you! Not only are we welcoming some new vendors, we’re also welcoming back some of your favorite returning vendors who are just getting started this season!

Our newest vendor is Zuckerman’s Farm, selling several varieties of potatoes from fingerlings to yukon golds, as well as small and large varieties of asparagus. These potatoes will be the perfect addition to your corned beef and cabbage this St. Patty’s Day!

After much anticipation, we’re thrilled to announce that Onigilly will make their return to MCM this Thursday! They’ll be back on a bi-weekly schedule so you can catch them at MCM on the 14th and the 28th this month. We’re so glad that we’ll have their tasty Japanese rice wraps back on Bartlett Street! Not to be outdone, Shrimp and Love Ceviche will also be back with their signature styles of ceviche, ranging from spicy to subtly sweet and everything in between! Our pals at 4505 Meats will have St. Patty’s Day specials and they’ll be smoking meats on site!

In case all that doesn’t entice you, we’ve also got music from Heather Normandale at 4:30 pm and Mountain Dojo with Toshio Hirano and Dave Berry at 6:00 pm. Heather plays eclectic folk music that combines cello, marimba, bells and trumpet, along with rhythm-driven picking on banjo, steel mandolin, and guitar.

Mountain Dojo is a bluegrass duo known to entertain with their energetic and soulful shows. They incorporate a mix of classic country and bluesy songs from the golden era of 1920-1949 featuring guitar, mandolin, and vocal harmonies.

Come on down this Thursday 4-8pm for an awesome night!

Do you know what sets the Mission Community Market apart from other farmer’s markets? We have so much more than just delicious, local, fresh produce! We also have vendors who want to feed you a variety of healthy, hearty dinner options. Come hungry to MCM this Thursday and indulge in some of what we have to offer. Having a hard time keeping track of what tasty dinner options are available? Allow us to break it down for you.

Roli Roti is the latest addition to the growing list of MCM’s hot food vendors, and they’ll bring their signature free-range rotisserie chickens each week. You can get a whole, half or quarter chicken, plus delicious roasted potatoes. Chaac Mool serves up traditional Yucatecan cuisine every Thursday as well. Try the cochinita pibil taco or pick up some handmade tortillas to go! You can also get a hot, juicy 4505 Meats cheeseburger any Thursday–try yours with a fried egg on top! We also now offer espresso, tea, and hot chocolate every week courtesy of Get Goes Mobile Cafe. They even have mocha shakes for warm afternoons. Finally, we have two vendors who alternate every other week: Onigilly and Kasa Indian. Kasa will serve up traditional Indian cuisine–including their gobi aloo kati roll–this week and Onigilly will have gourmet rice balls next week!

Welcome Onigilly to MCM

This week we welcome the Onigilly food cart to Bartlett Street!

Onigilly sells onigiri, a staple of the modern Japanese diet. You might be surprised to learn that these bite-sized meals made of brown rice and gourmet fillings wrapped in seaweed are actually more common in Japan than sushi! In 2007, Koji, the founder of Onigilly, participated in the La Cocina food entrepeneur incubation program, and with their help he was able to start his business providing fresh, delicious food to San Francisco. Chef Adachi Hiroyuki prepares everything from scratch daily, using only the most delicious and healthy ingredients. These bite-sized morsels are perfect for a full meal or a snack, so plan to head down to MCM this week and grab a few!
