Romance is blooming in Hoquiam!
The Farmers Market has officially banished the mid-winter blahs with hundreds of bright, happy, flowering plants! We have Tulips, Daffodils, Crocus, Narcissus, Hyacinths, Lilies, Begonias, Primroses, African Daisies, African Violets, and Jasmine- all in perfect condition, ready for Valentine’s Day.
Honestly, just seeing something in bloom will give your spirits a lift!
But that’s not all we have to brag about. Blissful Wunders Organic Truffles arrived yesterday, and once again my responsibility to make sure they passed the quality taste test was required. Oh, they passed with flying colors! I’d been hearing raves about Caramel with Sea Salt, now I understand what all the fuss is about. It’s one of those rare flavor bursts that you instantly know is true love forever.
Valentine’s Day cards? Oh yes, we’ve got ‘em! Ellen Pickell has created several exquisite images, and they are available in both English and Spanish.
And of course you know that we have handcrafted jewelry that is one of a kind and stunning? Personally, I’m very partial to receiving cozy things this time of year. Soft, cuddly lap-quilts and knit slippers are always a hit.
Deidra’s Deli has free movie tickets to the 7th Street theatres showing of the annual Take Your Honey To Hoquiam Movie. The tickets are good for either Friday or Saturday night, be sure to stop by and pick yours up- free is such a good price.
Did you think that we didn’t have great Organic Produce at this time of year? Not so, not so. With the exception of the California organic Grapefruit, all of our healthy produce is Washington grown and good for you! How can this be, you ask? Greenhouses and Hoop Houses, I reply!
We have Kale, Romaine Lettuce, Spinach and Carrots from the indoor farmers, and crisp Apples in many varieties. Haven’t you always wanted to try a Kabocha Squash? So easy- just like any other squash- just chop into chunks, pop it on a cookie sheet and roast for 45 minutes, or until it’s soft. Classic presentation includes some brown sugar and butter on top, but you can spice it up with teriyaki sauce too. Super good for you! Our Chiogga Beets, regular Beets, Potatoes and Onions are all here awaiting you to come and claim them!
Nancy is back form her annual January break, be sure and call if you want to reserve a pie or cinnamon roll for your Valentine.
You may have noticed an absence of emails lately from the Hoquiam Farmers Market. I guess I needed a bit of a January break too! The flu bug hit me hard, which was a miserable way to start a new year. I think the only reason I finally got over it was thanks to Deidra’s Chicken Curry soup. True story, I perked up the minute she gave me a bowl!
Wishing you good health and happiness in every day,
