Vendor of the Month: Rawlife Cold Pressed

Meet one of our newest vendors, Rawlife Cold Pressed! They work with local farmers to source the highest quality and most nutrient dense produce possible for their cold-pressed juices. They offer a colorful range of options from the fruity Hawaiian Twist to the vibrant Lean Green and the sunny 24 Carrot Gold. Make sure to stop by their booth at the market this month for some delicious juice!

Crop of the Month: Roselle Leaves

Roselle is one of our favorite multi-use crops. It's providing us with tangy leafy greens right now and in the fall it will yield tart, cranberry-flavored pods. The tart, lemony flavor of roselle leaves is a welcome contrast compared to our other summer crops. Roselle leaves can be enjoyed raw in salads or as part of a stir-fry or sauté. Here are some recipes to lend culinary inspiration:

• Stir-Fried Roselle Leaves with Shrimp and Okra

• Roselle Leaf Chutney

• Traditional Burmese Sour Soup

• Roselle Leaf Pesto
