Our share this week from the CSA: leaf lettuce, romaine, scallions, radishes and carrots. Earlier this year, Dave and I signed up for a share (a full share for spring, and a half share for summer/fall) from Shepherd’s Valley, which is a CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, located near Americus. We give these folks money in […]

Kuchera’s Mild Salsa is now available at Reeble’s South in Emporia. And at Gene’s Heartland Foods and Barleycorns in Wamego (Drew’s original hometown.) I first met Drew Kuchera last year at the Emporia Farmers’ Market and have been enjoying Kuchera’s salsa ever since. I don’t buy any other brand anymore. Kuchera’s is it. I’ve followed Drew […]

Harold Brenzikofer gets ready to fill a bag for a customer. Note the carrots. I had some of them two weeks ago and they were delicious. Today, I bought some spinach from him. A Bunny Bag. Made and sold by Mark Sherman. Savanna Chestnut performed at the market this morning.

I’ve been holding onto a gift certificate that’s good at a number of Emporia merchants for a couple of months now, and decided last week that it was finally time to use it. Dave and I enjoyed a filling meal at Casa Ramos. I had seafood enchiladas. Dave enjoyed his huge meal, tres amigos. Some […]

Coveted vegetable of the day: fresh carrots. You have to get in line pretty early to get them. But the Emporia Farmers’ Market is stacked with plenty of green things. In February! Linda Simmons’ beautiful and delicious cookies. Mark Sherman’s recycled feed bags. He’s also looking for cat litter bags. He doesn’t have a cat […]
