Community Servings is sponsoring a new Farmer’s Market this Sunday, July 26th from 10a-2p. It will be located at 18 Marbury Terrace in Jamaica Plain near Stony Brook T station.  Organizer Edith Murnane said, “We are excited at the prospect of starting a market that will both provide community members with fresh, local produce and products, as well as, create relationships with farmers that may assist us in better serving our critically-ill clients fresh, nutritious home delivered meals! Let us know what you think!” You can provide Edith with your feedback at Neighbor’s For Neighbors.

In fact, Edith needs your help. She wants you to vote the Farmer’s Market at Community Servings #1 on the Care2 website. Winner takes away $5000 in spoils for their organization. The market originally launched on July 12th and  was a huge success. Come on out this weekend and help support locally grown food. Some of the purveyors are:

Featured purveyors:
Silverbrook Farm, which provides organic fruits, veggies, flowering plants, honey and eventually eggs, jams and jellies;
Big Sky out of Newton – a baker that uses primarily local and organic ingredients;
The Greenest Bean – that produces small batch, organic, free trade coffee beans;
Sheldon Farm Herbs – local organic herbs

Later in the season:

There are other possible purveyors who may (hopefully) join later in the season:
Green City Growers, out of JP – that grows veggies out of your own yard for a small fee and a portion of the ‘produce’;
Boston Smokehouse out of Mattapan;
Cheshire Garden out of Winchester, NH; and
And possibly even the Boston Cheese Cellar out of Roslindale. The owner Kathy has graciously said she’d consider joining with some local cheeses!

Once the market starts they’ll be organizing chef demonstrations – such as Phil from JP Seafood who has agreed to come and demonstrate how you make fresh organic veggie ‘sushi’.. Other chefs that have agreed to participate include: Felicia from Centre Street Café, Brian from James’s Gate, Carlos from The Alchemist and Jake from The Milky Way/ Bella Luna! I’m still working on more . . . so, again, any ideas or connnections — send them!

And of course they’re looking to add a musical component. If you know any musicians who would like to donate an hour of their time to create a really lively environment, please let Edith know.
