Tis the season, the harvesting season and the Monticello
Farmers/Vendors Markets are in full swing once again. The first market was on Saturday, September 1st,
and will repeat for five more Saturdays from 10am to 1pm. Neither rain, sun nor more rain deterred
vendors from selling their wares at Veterans Memorial Park.
Lupe Simpson and husband, Billy featured homemade salsa
from her business, Moab Salsa. With
recipes from her grandmother, Lupe uses locally sourced vegetables which helps,
not just the local economy, but local farmers as well. Her salsas are fresh made by fire roasting
and peeling tomatoes, onions, tomatillos, and chiles; then mixing in herbs and
spices for a tasteful combination. Heats
available are: mild, medium, hot, fire breathing, granny green (green salsa),
and Moab sauce (sweet and spicy).
Whether as a dip for chips, topping for beef, chicken, fish or pork, or
mixing into a casserole or one pan meal; the freshness of this salsa comes out
true!
Small business owners Mandy Hoggard-Woodard and Jennifer
Acox have teamed up together to offer the best of PS Petals and Sweet,
Tupperware and Kitcheneez. Mandy’s roses
are large, lush, delightfully scented and beautiful; and can be ordered in any
color, or a mixture of colors. Need a
special order, just get it to Mandy two weeks before needed, and she can seal
the deal.
Jennifer is our local Tupperware distributor and buyers
of this product can swear by it. I’ve
got Tupperware that I still use, and it was purchased during the 1980s! Jennifer has all the newest colors, styles
and uses available; order by catalog, or better yet, throw a Tupperware party! But wait, we’re not done with the kitchen
yet; Jennifer also offers products from Kitcheneez. Cake and bread mixes, seasoning packets for
meal creation and much more. If you
can’t get to the market, go to the Kitcheneez website (https://kitcheneez.com/), place your order,
but make sure to put down Jennifer Acox’s name as your distributor when
checking out. Not only will she get
credit for your order, but you’ll get a 5% discount!
Jasmine Anenberg, botanist for Canyon Country Discovery
Center, featured “Back to School” sale items.
Microscopes for the budding scientist, or botanist like Jasmine; Kids
telescopes and spotting scopes for star or wildlife watching; and 3D Chalk
Making kits for sidewalk artists. All
items are 50% off, but teachers, simply show your school ID, and get a whopping
60% off!
Last, but definitely not least, Pam’s Jams; Pam Hanson,
Operations Director at Canyon Country Discovery Center, is also a home gardener
selling freshly harvested veggies, and homemade jams and jellies. Ain’t nothing better than fresh from the tree
or vine!
The Farmers/Vendors Market will be happening for five
more weeks; this is a call out to all home based business owners, home
gardeners, farmers or vendors in general.
Bring your own tables, tents and chairs, but most of all bring all your
wares!
