Ukiah's Vibrant Market... and BEANS!

What a tasty August we had at the Saturday Ukiah Farmers’ Market! The BEANS teen peer educators were out in force, whipping up some tasty food samples, playing with kids, and coordinating the “Market Scavenger Hunt.” More than 400 shoppers tasted the BEANS "black bean and corn fiesta salad," the "edible plant part crackers." and the "very berry smoothie with spinach!" Over 50 kids and families participated in the scavenger hunt! They all found some great seasonal veggies, local meats and cheeses, and some beautiful plants and flowers. For those of you who may have missed our booth, feel free to check out our recipes now! BEANS is committed to sharing tasty, low-cost, healthy recipes with Mendocino County families.
