Good morning!

The Online Market is open and ready for you to start shopping!

Thank you for supporting our farmers, vendors, and downtown businesses through your purchases online. We appreciate you so much!
A friendly reminder that due to the current concerns with COVID-19 and the recent spike in cases we have implemented a specific process for picking up orders to continue to provide limited contact:

1. If you need to pay for your order at the market please prepare it before you arrive by putting the exact amount of cash or a check payable to Main Street Siloam Springs in an envelope with your name on it. If you are paying with SNAP market staff will process your transaction when your order is brought to you. If you paid online, thank you and your payment will be processed at the close of market. If you are paying with Senior Vouchers please leave a comment for the market when you check out. The process for using these for payment needs to be communicated to you and market staff and we want to make sure and have your Double Dollars ready so you can use them for future purchases.

2. If you walk to the market pick up location we now have a table that will be set up where we will bring your order.

3. For those who drive to the market pick up location – No need to text any longer. There will be someone at the driveway entrance to take your name and assign you to a numbered parking spot. Market staff will be using radios to communicate and deliver orders to you in your vehicle.

4. The Arkansas Health Department advises everyone to wear a mask in situations where you are unable to maintain 6 foot social distancing. Market staff will be wearing masks to deliver orders to customers

As the weather has become warmer we would like to remind everyone that produce is affected by the heat. Please make sure when you pick up your order to take it right home so it can be stored in proper temps. If it sits in the car for any amount of time the heat will decrease it’s freshness and longevity. Here are some tips for washing/storing fruit and produce:

Lettuce or greens should be rinsed or soaked in cold water to help them crisp up. Use a large clean bowl or clean/disinfect your kitchen sink and fill with cold water. Add the lettuce/greens to the water and allow to them to refresh and become crisp again. Most of the garden soil should fall to the bottom of bowl or sink. Rinse off any remaining soil and spin dry or lay on towels or paper towels to dry before storing in refrigerator.

Root vegetables: Trim tops from all veggies and set aside. Soak them in water and use a veggie brush to scrub off any soil. Allow them to dry before storing. Root greens are edible. You can use carrot tops to make pesto, or add beet or radish greens to salads. Using every part of your food is not only healthy but it’s also a no waste approach that helps you get more for your money.

Please wash blueberries only when you’re ready to eat them. You can safely store them in the fridge in the container they come in when purchased. To freeze blueberries, lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze individually, then put them in a freezer bag. This will keep them from sticking together and allow you to only pour what you need out of the bag.

Stawberries:
Step 1: Mix one part vinegar with 10 parts water.
Step 2: Soak your strawberries for 2 Minutes.
Step 3: Drain the strawberries.
Step 4: Set them out to dry for about 20 minutes (I put them on paper towels)
Step 5: Put them back in a container and store in refrigerator.

Enjoy shopping this week and see you Saturday!
