👩‍🍳Featured Vendor Member of the Week: Bak 👩‍🍳Featured Vendor Member of the Week: Baker Nancy Clasemann of @bakingtraditions 🥧Featured Seasonal Food of the Week: Fruit Pie

 Baker Nancy Clasemann has been baking for as long as she can remember. “One of the earliest memories is trying to help my mother bake bread”. Nancy started Baking Traditions in August of 2015 out of her home for special orders as a creative outlet. In the Summer of 2016, she joined the Lawrence Farmers Market because we're the most friendly! Nancy was a part of some big layoffs from her full-time job in 2017 and went full in to Baking Traditions, adding two other farmers markets and a CSA. Eventually she opened her brick and mortar storefront at 4036 SW Huntoon St. in Topeka in October of 2018. Here she’s open Tuesday-Friday during the market season and Tuesday-Saturday during the winter.
 “We have a slogan: Hand-Crafted From Scratch with Love. Hand-Crafted means every single item is made by hand. Every bread is shaped by hand; every pie is hand crimped. You’ll see the hand of the artisan in the product. From Scratch means if we aren’t making it, it’s not in the case. Every filling. Every dough. Every cookie is made from scratch. With Love is we only use what we call real ingredients - no preservatives or shelf-life extenders. Which is also why we don’t do things with sugar substitutes. We don’t use shortenings or margarine. It’s about real ingredients and making things that your grandmother would.” Because of these values, Nancy uses Kansas-grown flour in all of her baked goods. She also uses rhubarb grown in Manhattan and peaches grown by fellow LFM Vendor Tryon’s Orchard. Pies are Baking Traditions’ top seller at the farmers’ market. Nancy expands her booth at market on Memorial Day and Fourth of July to bring (this year) 26 small and 10 big pies for customers to have at their gatherings on these weekends. Later in June, Nancy regularly does a competition between rhubarb pie and strawberry rhubarb pie to see which customers like the most! 
 This week we ask kiddos to help us decorate our very own Memorial Day fruit pie with star stickers. 

 You can find Baking Traditions every week in the West Lot.

🚜Featured Vendor Member of the Week: Produce & 🚜Featured Vendor Member of the Week: Produce & Flower Farmer @moon_on_the_meadow_farm 🍓Featured Seasonal Food of the Week: Strawberry Jill Elmers initially started her farming path renting land from Wakarusa Valley Farm. In 2001 Jill joined LFM as a vendor, and in 2006, she bought the property where Moon on the Meadow Farm now sits, just East of Lawrence. Jill is not only a farmer, she also used to be an electrical engineer and serves on many boards. Jill is currently the Lawrence Farmers’ Market’s Treasurer, after previously being Chair for a few years. She also serves on Growing Food Growing Health, Kansas Farmers Union, and Kansas Rural Center. While Jill is the owner of the farm, the majority of the work is done by her whole team. MotM Farm has participated in the Growing Growers Apprenticeship Program since 2004, and Jill says she’s “working our way towards an educational farm”. New employee Mattie says “Food is very fulfilling. It has a purpose” when asked why work at MotM Farm. In 2016 cut flowers were added and fresh flower bouquets now make up about 1/3 of the business. Their bouquets are always “distinct and unique with lots of variety” says Tabitha, the Flower Director. The flower team has a lot of creative freedom to make something beautiful and uses 6 concepts for making bouquets: Focal (ex: lily), Filler/Spray (ex: dianthus), Spike (ex: foxglove), Disc (ex: calendula), Air (ex: saponaria), and Wrap (ex: dusty miller). MotM Farm has been Certified Organic for 14 years. They’re rotating crops more efficiently, using cover crops more effectively, creating smaller paths, and “really looking at space and not wasting any” says Jill. They’re “working our way towards more No-till. Most of our tunnels are lightly tilled, some are not tilled at all.” They have a goal of tilling just once per season. They have been doubling the strawberry plantings each year, and they represent one of the biggest sellers for the farm, along with spinach and tomatoes. This week we offer up to the kiddos to try a strawberry from Moon on the Meadow Farm as a reward for our Scavenger Hunt. 
You can find Moon on the Meadow Farm every week in the West Lot.

🚜 Featured Vendor Member of the Week:: Produce 🚜 Featured Vendor Member of the Week:: Produce Farmer Ca Saw with Green Fresh! 🌾 Featured Seasonal Food of the Week: Asparagus Ca Saw, a refugee from the Chin ethnic group in Burma, came to the USA in 2015 and moved to Kansas in 2017. He recently bought his own property in Kansas City, Kansas and is our newest produce grower - Welcome Green Fresh!! Ca is a recent graduate of the New Roots to Refugees program - a program that empowers families from the KC refugee community to start farm businesses by growing and selling produce through direct-to-consumer markets like farmers markets. Farmers enter the 4 year program with agricultural expertise from their home country and grow produce according to organic standards. New Roots provides amazing resources and support to families to be independent and self-sufficient in a new growing and cultural environment. The program is designed to remove initial barriers like language, networking, and access to education and support. Green Fresh plans to join us next week at market and will bring an assortment of produce throughout the year such as: green beans, snap peas, peppers, onion, strawberries, squash, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, bitter melon, watermelon, and so much more! Join us in welcoming Green Fresh to the Lawrence community and Lawrence Farmers’ Market!! While Green Fresh won’t have asparagus this weekend, we had to promote asparagus because it is PEAK time for this amazing perennial vegetable! Asparagus is a great source to folate, iron, and fiber which all support healthy blood cells and digestive health - something we can all get behind. Celebrate Spring, Graduation Weekend, and Mother’s Day by buying locally grown asparagus at market this weekend! You can find Green Fresh in the West Lot in the middle of the North edge where Lin Lin and Moe had been previously! #meetmeatthemarket #lfm #lfk #vendorspotlight #lawrencefarmersmarket

🚜 Featured Vendor Member of the Week: Produce F 🚜 Featured Vendor Member of the Week: Produce Farmer Avery’s Produce 🥬 Featured Seasonal Food of the Week: Kale Avery Lominska is a second-generation Lawrence Farmers Market vendor after his father Bob Lominska started vending at LFM in its first year - 1976! Bob started Hoyland Farm and Avery’s Produce eventually became the farmers market branch and Avery began selling under his name Avery’s Produce around 2005. Hoyland Farm gets it’s moniker from Avery’s mother’s Norwegian maiden name. They were also the creators of the first CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture) in the Midwest region in 1994 - Rolling Prairie CSA, providing a vegetable subscription service to Lawrence and KC. Avery’s Produce once was Certified Organic, but stopped when they stopped selling wholesale — it’s a costly certification process and Avery’s practices farming techniques that exceed certification anyways. Avery’s Produce farms a few acres nestled at the outskirts of North Lawrence as well as up at his family property in Jefferson County. Check out our stories for footage of the Avery’s Produce crew tilling their property and harvesting for market. While Avery’s Produce plants their most acreage in spinach, they also have a large amount of beautiful kale for sale at the market. Kale can be such a nutritional powerhouse as it is packed full of Vitamins K, A, and C and is a wonderful source of plant-based calcium. This week we offer up for kiddos to try kale chips — a simple and easy way to eat this dark leafy green that is crunchy and yummy!! Thank you Avery’s Produce for providing kale for our scavenger hunt this week! You can find Avery’s Produce in the East Lot in the middle row! Look for the red van!
We’ve been running our weekly Scavenger Hunt now We’ve been running our weekly Scavenger Hunt now for 2 years and it’s been such a fun activity at market! So many kids have the opportunity to learn our vendors’ names and learn the layout of the market and interact with their food in new ways. Our goal is to get kids excited about food and learn the seasonality of different local foods and where they can find them and how they can be used. We are so excited to announce our newest addition to our kid programming this weekend: *Play With Your Food* Play With Your Food will take our weekly Scavenger Hunt and level it up by adding in even more elements, utilizing our partner - Nutritionist Emily Brinkman’s amazing skills to add in Explore, Learn, and Taste. Every first and third Saturday of the summertime market season (May-August) join us as we have a hands-on activity, tasting activity, and learning opportunity about food! This partnership would not be possible without the amazing help from LiveWell Douglas County, Pathways to a Health Kansas, and @ksredouglas !! Join us at our Saturday Morning Market 7:30am-11:30am at 824 New Hampshire St! #meetmeatthemarket #lfm #lfk #lawrencefarmersmarket #shoplocal #lawrence #shoplocallawrence #shoplocallawrenceks
