Announcing: your neighborhood MiMa!

I am so excited to announce that this summer Generous Servings will be hosting the world's first Micro-Market (MiMa)! I have joined a group of people who are committed to bringing local food to the Highland area, and we're going to have a weekly market on the Generous Servings patio featuring very local food and crafts. We really hope that this helps people eat more locally, because we'll be able to keep our prices low and guarantee that you're getting fresh, seasonal produce that hasn't been shipped from Chile or California and consumed fifteen times its weight in fuel just to get to the store. In fact, some of the products sold at the MiMa are going to walk over.

We'll have fruits and vegetables grown right in the neighborhood (including in my front yard), meats and eggs from the region (no one ranches in Denver, but the meat will be from within 100 miles), and prepared foods made from local ingredients, including my fast-growing line of homemade butter (sweet cream and old-fashioned cultured butter, plus flavored butters like orange-honey and garlic-herb...mmmm...).

When can you purchase these fantastic products? On Thursday afternoons between 2 and 6 pm, starting on May 14! We'll have a pre-order system set up soon so you can place orders too, since all the vendors will have small supplies and we don't want to run out too early. I'm working on a website for the Highland MiMa now, so I'll post the link as soon as it's decent. Meanwhile, if you know someone who has a lot of fruit or vegetables that he or she might want to sell, put us in touch!
