This booth is down the row where the jewelers are next to OB Skate and Surf. Her card says Homemade Vegan Treats, but I'm pretty sure the cupcakes I tried weren't vegan...but not really sure. I had her little mini cupcakes, The red velvet one was SO moist I couldn't believe it for such a small little cutie! I also tried her red velvet gluten free ones, and they were too dry for me, but if ya gotta have a treat, and it can't have gluten or wheat in it, she's got a treat for you! I also had the lemon and the orange ones....very tasty. Loved the frosting on all of them, not too sugary, just right. You get 5 minis for $5 and she must be pleasing other palates too, because she was out of the larger cupcakes at $2 each. I'm looking forward to popping one of those in my pie hole very soon!!

Full disclosure: I work on the City College campus so visiting this fantastic little farmers market…read moreis muy convenient. That being said, if you work or live anywhere close to the East Village and can sneak over to City on a Tuesday morning, this is an absolute jewel of Downtown San Diego. The Urban Farm is exactly what it sounds like: a little patch of farmland smack dab in the middle of the City College campus. You can enroll in a class and learn all about sustainable farming, etc, or you can even just volunteer to work there planting, maintaining, harvesting, and selling the garden/farm wares. They now have a weekly market, every Tuesday from 9:30-11am selling their seasonal offerings. Right now (Jan) they have turnips, radishes, braising greens (kale, chard, collards, etc), herbs, edible flowers (calendula), and more. Even if you're not a hyper-foodie (I'm not), we all can probably agree that it's better for our bodies and our communities to eat and buy locally grown and seasonal foods. This is a small and perfect opportunity to not only eat and shop for your food wisely, but to support a very cool educational program as well. I work at City but I'm NOT affiliated with the Farm, I'm really just proud of this tiny speck of dirt and goodness in the middle of the city.

This farmer's market is the product of a very cool program that has converted a large chunk of the school's property from grass to a bustling farm that includes a wide array of veggies and fruits. The people that run this program are super cool, nice, and extremely knowledgeable about their crops and organic agriculture in general. Definitely worth a trip if your anywhere near the area. They also allow volunteers to help out and learn about farming on Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 9am-Noon.

I was planning to make a steak tonight for dinner, so I came in to pick up some mushrooms, Anaheim peppers, and some potatoes. The cook thing was, that they not just had potatoes, but they also had purple potatoes, so I picked up a half dozen of those. The peppers and mushroom were in their walk in cooler. Yes, you get to walk into a cooler filled with great produce. In addition, to the impressive collection of organic mushroom inside the cooler, there was also some beautiful golden beets, white turnips, rainbow chard, and a variety of green beans and pods. The Anaheim peppers were impressive. They were a great green and unusually plump and were reasonably priced at $1.51 per pound. The purple potatoes were $1.30 per pound, and the mushrooms were I believe $2.32 lbs, all fair enough and quite reasonable for organic produce. In addition to all the great produce, they also offer Sadie Rose Baking Company baked goods and Bread & Cie's Rustic European Stone Earth Breads. I'm telling you, if you like mushrooms, you have to check this place out. They have a nice collections

They have different tiers especially for those who are unable to pay full price, no questions asked, which I think is a great model to promote food security. Aside from produce, they also sell eggs, poultry, and artisan goods that have a table and switch up their offerings weekly. Do note their hours are very limited - they are only open Tuesdays and Saturdays. My last haul here included cherry tomatoes, spinach, bokchoy, passionfruit, and dino kale. I am trying to make it a routine habit to come here throughout the week! So happy I finally found this spot as I cannot believe it took me this long!

I bought Au Bon Broth in person from the Mad Beet with no issues in August 2018. I'm no broth…read moreconnoisseur but it was tasty and exactly what I expected. I checked out the nutrition facts on the back of the bag and was impressed that there were 7g of protein per 4 oz. serving, and only 14 calories. But wait, I learned in my college nutrition class that protein always has 4 calories per gram. Is Au Bon Broth magical, physics-defying foodstuff? Honestly the extra 14 calories aren't going to make a difference in my or hopefully anyone else's diet, but out of curiosity I emailed the company at the email listed on their website to inquire if their nutrition facts were accurate. No reply to my 8/30/18 email, and I forgot about it until the fall, when I followed up with another email 10/12/18 to say I was still curious. Jack got back to me and said he couldn't answer my question but would pass it on to the product development team. No reply. I asked 2/5/19 if he'd heard anything. No reply. The 14 calories per serving seem ridiculous to quibble over, but it bothers me that it *doesn't* bother them that their nutrition facts are impossible and that a simple follow-up email was too difficult operationally.

Anyway, after picking up my food from Flavors, I decided to check out some of the other vendors to see what delights and treats I could find... imagine my surprise when I saw the cute Amapola stand which was selling my absolute favorite dessert in the world: banana pudding. I was offered a sample of both the pumpkin spice version and the regular version. Both were delicious, but I had to opt for the original banana pudding because it was honestly just so good. It had the perfect mix of banana, cream, and cookie bits. The sweetness lingered in a pleasant and not cloying way. I purchased a medium ($10.78) so I could take it home and share it with M after dinner. Let's just say that in retrospect I should have gotten the larger size because we made that dessert disappear! Good thing that we can go back next week to buy some more! So glad that Amapola is in the neighborhood!
