🥬 A Fresh Take on a Classic Caesar!

Who says Caesar salad has to start with romaine? Our fresh, locally grown kale makes the perfect base for this hearty, flavorful salad!

Tossed with creamy homemade Caesar dressing and topped with grilled chicken, shaved Parmesan, and crunchy croutons, it’s a simple, satisfying meal.

The best part? This homemade dressing is easy to make, with no raw eggs required!

✨ HOMEMADE CAESAR DRESSING

Ingredients:
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp anchovy paste
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1–2 tbsp water, as needed

Instructions:

1. Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, anchovy paste, Worcestershire, and garlic.
2. Stir in Parmesan and olive oil until creamy.
3. Season with black pepper and thin with water as needed.
4. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.

🥬 KALE TIP: Remove tough stems, chop the leaves, and massage with a drizzle of olive oil for 1–2 minutes to soften.

Toss with dressing and top with grilled chicken, shaved Parmesan, and croutons!

🌱 Pick up fresh kale at Sunset Market Gardens and give this delicious twist on a classic a try!

Thanksgiving is going to taste a little better this year. 🦃🌿

We’re excited to once again partner with Jimmy Acres Farm to offer their pasture-raised turkeys for your holiday table.

If you’ve ever tried the delicious chicken we carry at the market, you already know Jimmy Acres—the same farmer who raises our chicken is raising these turkeys! And if you haven’t tried the chicken yet, consider this your reminder to pick some up the next time you’re at the market. It’s a customer favorite for good reason.

These turkeys are raised on pasture, moved daily to fresh grass, and supplemented with local organic feed. They’ll be flash frozen for freshness, quality, and safe storage.

🦃 Halves: 8–10 lbs
🦃 Small: 16 lbs & under
🦃 Large: 16 lbs & over

$30 deposit reserves your turkey. Sign up in the market at checkout.

Good food. Local farms. A Thanksgiving meal you can feel good about serving. 🌿 by @sunsetmarketgardens

Have you discovered Eden Selected Ume Plum Vinegar yet?

This traditional Japanese pantry staple is one of those ingredients that quietly transforms everyday cooking. Made from the naturally fermented brine of umeboshi plums, it has a bright, tangy, slightly salty flavor that adds incredible depth to simple dishes.

We love using it to:
• Toss with fresh salads 🥗
• Brighten roasted or steamed vegetables 🥦
• Make quick pickles 🥒
• Add to marinades, dips, salsa, or homemade dressings 🍴

One helpful tip: because it’s naturally salty, you can often reduce—or even skip—adding extra salt to recipes when using it.

If you’re looking for a new pantry favorite, this little bottle is well worth trying.

📍Available every market day at Sunset Market Gardens by @sunsetmarketgardens

🌱 Meet one of the most unique flavors of the season... Fresh Baby Ginger!
Freshly harvested and available now, baby ginger is one of those special seasonal treats that's worth trying. Unlike the mature ginger you'll find at the grocery store, baby ginger has a tender skin (no peeling needed!), a juicy texture, and a bright, delicate flavor that's less spicy and much more approachable.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to use it:
🫚 No peeling required – Simply rinse, slice, grate, or chop and use the whole thing.
🥢 Fresh cooking – Add it to stir-fries, salad dressings, curries, and light broths for a fresh, vibrant ginger flavor.
🍣 Pickling – Baby ginger is perfect for making homemade pink pickled ginger (gari) to serve alongside sushi or rice bowls.
🍵 Tea & drinks – Steep slices in hot water with lemon and honey, or blend into fresh juices and smoothies for a refreshing kick.
❄️ Freeze it for later – Grate it straight from the freezer whenever you need fresh ginger. It stores beautifully this way!
Because its skin is so thin and tender, baby ginger has a much shorter shelf life than mature ginger. Keep it refrigerated and enjoy it within a couple of weeks—or freeze it to preserve that fresh-picked flavor.
We'll have fresh baby ginger at the market this Saturday, but only while this seasonal harvest lasts. If you've never cooked with it before, this is the perfect time to give it a try! 🫚💚

Meet the faces behind Sunset Market Gardens! 🌱

We're a true family farm, and it takes a team to make market days happen. We thought it would be fun to introduce the people you'll see working behind the scenes and at the market each Saturday.

🌿 David is the owner and our chief farmer. If it's growing in the fields, chances are David has had his hands on it every step of the way.

💚 Nneka, co-owner, is the creator of the energy bites so many of you have come to love! She's also one of the friendly faces you'll find at the register on market days.

Together, David and Nneka are the proud parents of Logan, Gavin, Falynne, and Kieran.

🌾 Logan wears just about every hat on the farm. From planting and harvesting to market prep and helping customers at the register, he's always ready to jump in wherever he's needed.

🥐 Gavin spends most of his time farming, but he's also the talented baker behind the delicious brownies, scones, and other sweet treats you occasionally find at the market on Saturdays.

🍋 Falynne and Kieran are usually the ones offering samples and serving up fresh lemonade each Saturday. Be sure to stop by and say hello!

📊 Sherri, David's sister, keeps everything organized behind the scenes as our accountant.

📦 Jessica joined the team in April and handles much of the market preparation, inventory management, and social media and marketing that helps keep everyone connected with what's happening at the farm.

From planting seeds to stocking shelves, baking goodies to welcoming you at the market, every person plays an important role. We are so grateful for this team and for all of you who choose to support our family farm.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We can't wait to see you at the market this Saturday! 💚

🌻 One Last Market Before Our Summer Break! 🌻

This Saturday is your last chance to shop with us before we take a short break to prepare for our fall season. The market will be closed until Saturday, September 5 as we focus on cleaning up fields, planting fall crops, tackling projects around the farm, and getting ready for another beautiful season.

Before we close, be sure to stock up!

🥬 Fresh Greens are back this weekend, along with all the beautiful summer vegetables you've been enjoying.

🥩 Fill your freezer with locally raised:
• Beef
• Chicken
• Pork
• Lamb

🥫 Stock your pantry with farm favorites like:
• Hooper's sauces & marinara
• Pickles & jams
• Organic coffee
• Nuts & oats
• Sourdough pancake mix
• Maple syrup
• Chocolate
• And more!

🧢 Support the farm while we're away. During these few weeks, there won't be fresh produce sales coming in, but the work doesn't stop. A great way to support Sunset Market Gardens during this necessary downtime is by picking up some of our farm merchandise. We still have our t-shirts, hats, and reusable shopping bags available, and every purchase helps support the work happening behind the scenes.

Thank you for choosing to shop local, support our family farm, and be part of what we're building here. We can't wait to welcome you back on Saturday, September 5 with the first of our fall harvest.

We'll see you Saturday! 🌿💚 by @sunsetmarketgardens
