Please make a printable list of local food suppliers with their addresses, instead of only links to websites. Also, I was looking for the address of City Market, mentioned in your blog today, but it’s not in the food sources listings.
Thanks!
had a great lunch at Michaels last week.
Hi Julie!
If you’re referring to Roots in the City Farmers Market, it actually is listed in our food sources area under “Roots in the City.” We buy from all the farmers (who happen to vend at the market) directly through our forager, including Roots.
Regarding the addresses, some farms don’t typically list since they don’t open to the public… The best place to find them is at farmers markets like Roots in the City and if you have a specific question about arranging a special visit to their properties, they always have contact info (phone and email) listed on their websites. Best to try to reach them that way rather than showing up
Thanks and I hope I’ve addressed your points!
