I'm currently attempting to get out of bed to go to a farmers market. Farm Fresh is my go-to Saturday market but Mount Hope is also enjoyable.

Instagram is my usual source for events (I follow local musicians, market planners, and pop ups). Google is easy too.

Some folks also use FB events and EventBrite.

Those ridiculously good street food/wrap things the Pita Pocket vendor makes are worth heading out to the Mount Hope market alone! 🤤

(Can anyone tell me what they are called?! I am embarrassed I don't know, and also more people need to know so they can order them!)

Falafel?

Nope! But their falafel is definitely good.

It's this wonderfully chewy and thin crepe-like wrap they cook from fresh dough on a convex griddle. Then, they fill it with spinach & feta, meat, or a combo of both. It looks almost like a burrito. I think they said it's a common Turkish street food?

I need to know more about this! I haven’t seen it.

Literally haven't stopped talking about it since my first one. An older woman (mother? Grandmother?) actually cooked it for me, which made it more amazing, tbh in Grandmas we trust!... They don't make them in their Barrington restaurant - just at MHF for some reason! I hope you get to try one!!

Probably kebap. Döner kepab, souvlaki, etc. lots of different names for essentially a very similar food from the balkans/Middle East. Super yummy.

No, it's a word I've never heard before! I am a doner & souvlaki fan, but this is different. Maybe it's called "tanuiti"?

Why do all the farmers markets close so early? By the time I drag myself out of bed and eat breakfast/lunch they are almost over

Because farmers have so much to do in their day! Modern retail situations have made us feel differently, and make out-of-season food creepily accessible, but it's helpful to consider harvest timing and capacity. Talk to you local farmer or farmers market manager about what's currently available 🤓

This is my life. Did not make it today because I was so tired. Thankfully I have mushrooms and a few misc veggies leftover from a Wed night market.

Yeah I usually go through FB events or eventbrite. It's probably just bc it's winter but definitely seems there are fewer things to do.
