UPDATE:Scottsbluff Indoor Farmers’ Market at Hampton Inn is discontinued this Summer.

I received a message from Bob @ Just Your Way that the indoor farmers’ market struggled to get enough vendors through May and has been discontinued this Summer. It sounds as though he may give it another try next year, with enough vendor support. Stay tuned for updates.

CSA signups

by Monique on March 7, 2011

We have two CSA options listed for our area so far. Now is the time to consider subscribing to a CSA program:

Meadowlark Hearth CSA
Mitchell Valley Farm CSA

My family has enjoyed produce from both of these farms. We participated in the Mitchell Valley Farm CSA last summer and have enjoyed Meadowlark Hearth’s produce available throughout the Winter Farmer’s Market. They both have a lot to offer and are wonderful people to work with.

Latest News from the Open A Bar 2 Ranch

by Open A Bar 2 Ranch on January 21, 2011

The Open A Bar 2 Ranch has a few new things in store for the new year!  You can see what we’ve been up to lately by reading our latest newsletter.

One thing we are really excited about is our newly added all-natural Flat Iron Steaks, beef jerky and beef sticks.  We are especially excited about the fact that our jerky and beef sticks do not contain any sodium nitrates or MSG.

There will be four new vendors in attendance at the Farmers’ Market this Saturday at the Scottsbluff Hampton Inn & Suites, 1-4 p.m.

Couple updates from Kathi:

We have a new vendor joining us for the market this Saturday, Bob and Sallie Fisher of “Just Your Way” who specialize in gluten-free cooking. They plan on bringing a variety of gluten-free baked goods, pasta salads, meatballs and mixes.

…This just in from Beth Everett, she is planning on bringing squash, cabbage, carrots, beets, garlic, rutabaga and other vegetables and a free Turtle Tree Seed catalogs…

I’m looking forward to a great market!
