Ok, the farmers market is officially open!
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you…well, not totally, but I thought you’d like to know a little bit about us, your Andersonville Farmers Market managers. Find out all about David and I after the jump:

Tomato ecstasy!
Market Manager Joan
Local girl, lived in Andersonville for 20+ years. Totally dedicated to/thrilled about having a market in the neighborhood. Long time local foods advocate/farmers market devotee/avid cook, happy to have a market to call her own.
Vegetable I most resemble: An artichoke, because they’re a little prickly but have a sweet, tender heart (aw).
Five favorites from the market: Bennison’s Bollstock (don’t ask what it is, you just have to try it), any kind of berry, toscano kale (makes great kale chips), fresh eggs, sugar snap peas
New items I’m most looking forward to trying: Everything!!!
Market Manager David
Born and bred in Chicago. Genetically programmed to love farmer’s markets, has visited markets and road-side stands with his grandfather since he was a young sprout. Culinary school grad who’s addicted to fresh ingredients, makes a mean scone.
Fruit I most resemble: A honeydew melon because they’re sweet, cool, and summer is their season, baby.
Five favorites from the market: pumpkins, Bennison’s chocolate croissants, Rare Bird Preserves, lamb steaks (grill, baby, grill), heirloom tomatoes
New items I’m most looking forward to trying: Everything!!!
Come see us at the market tomorrow!
