L. Kennedy Meat Stand- Locally grown meat from the Kennedy's.  Get to the market early before they sell out! Kistaco Farm continues to have locally raised apples.  Apple varieties this week include Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonagold, Cameo, Empire, Idared, and Rome.  Of course, fresh pressed cider will be available. Zang's will have many fresh fruits and vegetables.  Two special items will be red swiss chard, and locally grown micro arugala. There will be a variety of fruits and vegetables available throughout the market from Zang's, Greenawalt and Kistaco stands.  Some are still locally grown items and some are "imported."  If you are interested in locally grown, please feel free to ask the farmers which items are local. Veggies Potatoes (still locally grown at Greenawalt's) Mushrooms Squash Brussels sprouts Cabbage Celery Cucumbers Carrots and other root vegetables Onions Cauliflower Tomatoes Shallots Peppers- sweet and hot Garlic Lettuce Spinach Green beans Turnips (locally grown at Greenawalts) Broccoli Fruit Apples Bananas Pears Florida Citrus such as lemons, oranges and tangerines Grapes Other fruit such as berries   Other vendors in the market will also be open.  So keep in mind that this includes many locally made offerings such as hummus from the Greek Gourmet, fresh baked items from Rebecca Plum, and fresh made donuts from Better-Made Donuts.  Also, pasta from Fontana Pasta, and bread from Wood Street Bakery.  Local eggs as well as many Amish made prepared items are available at Greenawalts.  Kistaco sells dried soup mixes which are easy to make and great during the cold weather months. Kew Park Coffee BarThis week we will contiue to offer a dark/medium bean roasted by LaPrima, and a medium bean roasted by Commonplace Roasters. Florida citrus is in its prime so we have beautiful oranges, nectarines and grapfruits for making fresh squeezed juice.Since the weather has turned cold, we will have hot chocolate- back by popular demand!PA Made Cheese We have a fresh batch of goat milk chevre and feta from Riverview Dairy.  Also, fresh curds from Arsenal Cheese. California Olive Oil Connection Olive Oil update-  I am heading out to California on Sunday and will be visiting 2 farms in Santa Ynez- Figueroa and Olinda Ridge.  I have been carrying these oils consistently for the last 2 years, so it will great to meet the folks who grow the olives and produce these oils.  I hope to do a lot of tasting and then get some of my favorite oils shipped to Pittsburgh to sell at the market. Raisins and Almonds We have been carrying organically grown dried fruits from Van Dyke Organics in Gilroy, CA for a while now.  These are great items for the winter months- apricots, pears, nectarines and persimmons. We are about to get raisins and almonds from Marian Farms in Fresno.  They are grown using biodynamic methods which is an even more intensive method than organic.  The almonds were just harvested last week, flash pasturized and sent to us.  They are in transit now so I am not sure if they will be here for Saturday or for next week.  I am really exicted about the almonds.  Since they are raw (unroasted) they can be used to make things like fresh almond milk.  We will be serviing fresh made almond milk at the juice bar. We will also have a recipe and demonstrate how to make it.

[Highland Park] Items for Sale--COACH purse, Columbia down parka, bike
by Bridget 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Hello All, I'm selling a few items that I decided I either do not want, or no longer use: A new Columbia puff coat; a gently used COACH purse & a bike: This past December I purchased a Columbia coat up in Grove City. It is a women's size M down puff coat. The coat hits me just below the waist (I'm 5'4 and a street size 4). A week after buying the coat, I found another one at Macy's and opted to keep it instead. I cannot justify driving two hours to return the Columbia coat and hope someone around HP is interested. I paid $60 for the coat and will sell it for $55 OBO. The COACH purse is gently-used, but is in wonderful shape. There is a small lip gloss stain on the inside, but the bag is fine shape aside from that mark. I recently purchased a new purse and am ready to let this one go to a new home. I bought it for $350 and am selling it for $125 OBO. The bicycle (good for bopping around town and leisurely-paced bike rides) needs new tires, but aside from that, is in fine shape too. It's a red Schwinn with a very sturdy frame and has a comfy gel cushion seat. I will also throw in a heavy-duty lock for free with a purchase of the bike. *Here are pictures of the items: http://www.flickr.com/photos/meyouandthekids/* * * Please contact me if you have any questions or are interested in purchasing. We are moving next year, so I'm trying to clear out unused items bit by bit:) * *

[Highland Park] Jazz Monday to go
by Hill Jordan 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Hey Everyone, I wanted to thank everyone who came out to Park Bruges' "Jazz Monday" this past Monday! We had one of the best nights so far. Lots of new faces & a great mix of people as always. Jesse & the gang really out-did themselves with the "Club Menu" featuring Po' Boys & chicken & waffles. I wanted to let everyone know that the House Band: SlideWorldWide is available for private parties & events. We play everything from The Beatles to Beebop, from Jazz to James Brown & many of our musicians have ACTUALLY played w/ James Brown, Count Basie, Motown headliners & more so when you hire us you are definitely getting "The Real Deal"! Prices are event specific & we can provide everything from duo & trios up to full big bands & show bands so just ask :-) Thanks, Hill Sent from my iPod
