If you’re looking for fresh, locally grown produce, make sure to visit the Southside Pastures booth! Claudia and Sebastian grow a fantastic variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs on their small farm using permaculture principles. Depending on what’s ready to harvest, their table features crisp greens, carrots, beets, green onions, garlic, zucchini, tomatoes, tomatillos, kohlrabi, and ground cherries.

Drop by their table this Saturday to pick up the best of the season for your kitchen!
