Tales of GRATITUDE at Cobblestone featuring a high school senior with a passion for nutrition and health and cash on the ground...

Enter Bess Broughton, high school senior with a mission to raise funds as part of her school's homecoming program. With cell phone in hand and a Venmo account, this beautiful human raised dollars for Cobblestone's food access program. Bess's surprise gift to the market was enough to cover the costs of our latest market merch from which 100% of the proceeds go to our Food Access program. The weekly match to the young families and folks in transition means fresher, more nutritious food for those on assistance. Thank you, Bess, for being our youngest sponsor ever and for your inspiring gift!

A pay forward thank you as well, to everyone who purchases the Broccoli Man long sleeve tee!

I SPY CASH! What to do? Well, following the thoughtfulness of Cobblestone shoppers who bring lost CASH and wallets and other key items to the INFO booth, major GRATITUDE, relief and surprise are flashed all over the face of the person who just 'disengaged' with their purchasing power! To date, we are 100% on the return of lost cash at the market! What a wonderful community we have!

Thanks everyone - now on to the total GOODNESS from our vendors - think PEPPERS!

See you on Saturday morning, another glorious day!

THE GETTIN’ IS GOOD

BEANS & PEPPERS & MORE…OH MY!

As you all may have seen the pepper and green bean game is STRONG at market this time of year and we are loving trying to find ways to incorporate them into our meals each week!

We have found this handy guide to peppers for you to begin to explore the abundance of options. We love them raw for dipping, topping, or tossing. We like to saute them, roast them, and bake them too with our other market veggies. And we super enjoy them STUFFED - vegetarian or meat filled, whatever your fancy, it is sure to impress our guests.

Find a simple vegetarian recipe here!
