Buy Holiday Wreaths & Support MCM!

For the last two markets of the season, we’re partnering with Home Sweet Flowers to bring you gorgeous seasonal wreath and garland offerings! These locally-made wreaths full of Magnolia, Bay Leaf, Boxwood, and Holly are gorgeous and unique. Pre-order a wreath or garland and 10% of the proceeds will go directly to the market. They will have a limited supply of handmade wreaths on hand at the market, so pre-ordering is recommended (garlands must be reserved). Please take a look at their price list here and email us at mcm [at] missioncommunitymarket.org to reserve your wreath or garland!

You can pre-order up until 10:30 am on the day of the market when you want to pick it up. Orders received after 10:30 am tomorrow (12/12) may be picked up the following week (12/19). We’ll be taking pre-orders all week for our last market of the year, so spread the word!

***Note: The image in the bottom left corner is the Holiday Special Door Garland which is $10 (not photographed on the price list). It is about 22″ long.

Right in time for Mother’s Day, our new vendor Medrano Farms offers a variety of fantastic flowers that are perfect for Mom!

In addition to their amazing King Proteas, Irises, Gerber Daisies, Ranunculus, Roses, and other fine flora, they are planning to bring special Mother’s Day bouquets this Thursday (May 9th) that you can purchase for $5-10! The Medrano family has been running their farm out of Monterrey County for the last twelve years. The family started out doing wholesale, and now sell at a few markets in San Francisco. We feel very lucky that they will now be coming out to MCM every week. When asked what he wanted to share with our blog’s readers, David Medrano’s response was simple: “Come and enjoy the beautiful flowers!” Show your love for Mom, and support a local farmer!

If you’re looking for a gift for Mom, we have plenty of awesome presents available this week to show mom you love her while buying locally!

Pick a peck of pickled goodies with a gift box from Jarred SF Brine! You can mix and match three 9-oz jars of pickles for $24.

If Mom deserves a little pampering, pick up some all-natural vegan body care goodies from En Vie Naturals, including soaps, scrubs, and lotions.

Animal Instincts Apparel will make their monthly appearance at MCM this week (2nd Thursdays)! Their line of screen printed tees, onesies, and sweatshirts feature adorable animal designs created by owner Jamai Lowell. These awesome designs are whimsical and unique, and they come in adult sizes for Moms and onesies for babies!

Artist Jen Kindell has beautiful tea towels and canvas bags, all screen printed with her designs featuring seasonal produce. Her newest creation is a limited-edition blood orange tea towel ($12 each, pictured). Her tote bags are $15.
