What we're thinking lately
Sorry for the late update.
Grassroots is here! As most of you know we take this time for a little R&R. While the festive is only 1/4 mile away, at best, it seems silly to be cooking away when we could be dancing. So on that note, we will see you all next saturday, July 29th, or on the dance floor.

Borage, one of our plant allies has been a key player in all of my gardens this summer. In fact I have a few friends asking me if I would like more flowers from their gardens. Nope! I have so many. This year with the dry hot weather, borage has been able to reign supreme is out gardens. But what a fabulous plant! The plan of joy and courage. We all need that as we chaotically spin throughout this ever changing world we live in. So thank you borage, for doing your part and showing up.

Have you noticed a very floral fragrance in the air lately? Of course, there have been many floral fragrances in the air lately. First it was lilac then, honeysuckle and now black locust flowers. Reminiscent of oranges, these beautiful pendulous white clusters can be found all throughout the landscape, dangling from the end of a tree limb. This will be the last week to experience them until next year. We climbed on top of our catering truck to reach these blossoms and made simple syrups & kombucha . We infused our frosting with Black locust flowers and have an ever so slight floral taste. Come check us out tomorrow at the market before you head to the festival. We’ll be there until 3.

Who doesn’t love a delicious fritter? No one! So if your in the Ithaca Farmers Market neighborhood tomorrow and you haven’t had a tasty fritter lately, just stop our booth, I’ll set you up. On your way out of town after 4 laborious years of study? Stop by, we just might have what you're looking for. Congratulations by the way for sticking to it all these years. I hope it serves you well. All you local folks, take a break from your gardens and come down for a bite to eat. You know you’ll feel better for it. You probably have to buy a few more plants anyway after this past weeks frost.
