Let's get this year's coffeeneuring adventures started in style with a trip to the local farmer's market. Details:
1. where: coffee guy at Farmer's Market at Scipio Creek commercial marina, Apalachicola FL
2. date: 10/23/21
3. what: Ethiopian "Bold and Bright, Notes of Blueberry, Strawberry, and Peach"
4. details: nice clear late October day, about 75F. CX bike
5. 2.0 miles round-trip (and I had to take a slightly indirect route)
Bought tomatoes and a few other odds and ends while there. We're kind of between seasons here, with the summer produce mostly done but the winter harvest still ahead. Just the usual Saturday ride to the market, but now with Official Coffeeneuring Documentation.
As a side note, Apalachicola is so small that sometimes a circuitous route is required to get the minimum 2 total miles in. It's an excuse to dawdle, talk with neighbors, and check out the riverfront.
Who else is selling at the market? A few years back we got some good stuff while staying at SGI.
ReplyDeleteMike, there's usually about a dozen vendors up there: usually 2 to 3 small "back to the land" farms send somebody around with produce, some specialty breads, etc. There's Dave who does fine woodworking selling tables, cutting boards, taking orders for bigger furniture, he's usually there. After that, a handful of local art and the like, usually somebody with a guitar and a tip jar (generally pretty good), and of course, the coffee guy. The schedule is on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.
ReplyDeleteAlso, there's a smaller market at 56 Commence Street (the shop in back of the post office) every Wednesday. Much the same, just more compact. Most importantly, the coffee guy usually makes it to that one too.
