We girls bake artisan breads especially for the farmers' market. Some of our best loved breads include Irish Dill Braids, Tomato/Herb Bread, Honey-Oat whole grain, Sourdough loaves, French baguettes, Potato Rosemary rounds, Challah Sabbath braids, and a whole-grain Peasant Rye, along with several other cool and tasty breads, such as a heavy German Vollkornbrot.
I bake luscious cinnamon and orange/cranberry rolls very early on Saturday mornings, so they are still warm and tender as they reach the morning market.
We bake our breads using Shepard's Grain flour, which is grown here in Washington State, on the Palouse, using sustainable farming techniques. We are privileged to be able to support our neighbors, and support their efforts to prevent erosion of our Palouse soil. Visit and learn more about Shepard's Grain by clicking here.
My hubby drives over to Moscow at the last minute so the fruits and veggies won't wilt in the heat. He brings fruits each week in season from the fruit ranch where I grew up outside the little Washington town where I grew up, now run by my brother and sister-in-law. These include cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, nectarines, plums, prunes, apples---things that grow on trees.
We also co-op with our friends and neighbors to bring their vegetables to the Moscow Market. They grow peas, beans, squash, corn, tomatoes, okra, melons, cabbage, peppers, and other row crops. I'll try to get some pictures onto my pictures page so you can meet them, too.
The girls create homemade jams and jellies throughout the year, which you can also find at our market stand.
