Bolsa’s Farmers Market a Hit

Sunday was Bolsa’s inaugural farmers market, featuring vendors of the popular Oak Cliff cafe, and I’m happy to report that it was a smashing success. The patio was packed. Live music. Plenty of free tastings. Alas, it was an hour wait for a table inside (we opted for Cliff Cafe for brunch instead — more on that tomorrow). But still, everyone had a great time. My favorite taste was actually a sip: The strong brew of Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters. I bought a pound of the Peru Piura Cepicafe Co-op (a medium dark roast). All I had to read was, “This Peru has a heavy body and rolls on the tongue,” and I was sold. No word yet on when the next market will take place but this is one event to put on your calendar.

Several of the vendors mentioned that they didn’t bring much stuff because they had no idea how just how many people were going to show up. We were there at 11:00 when it opened and it was packed. Hooray for Bolsa, it’s a great place. Sad to hear about Kavala though. It was just too damned hot in that space, especially with a flippin’ pizza oven going.

Hooray! It was awesome….from honey to chocolate to wine to greens to coffee to cookies. A great way to bring together local producers with local supporters.
