The Kuna Farmers Market and Sandstone Plaza is a Saturday morning breakfast destination.
Last Saturday morning was sunny, the Market area was full of tents and colorful
items, and shoppers were enjoying breakfasts ranging from hearty sausage and egg
sandwiches and burritos to coffee and cookies to ice cream and French doughnuts.
This week there will be more choices. Vogel Farms continue to offer a Market favorite,
the breakfast sandwich with sausage and eggs from their farm. The will also have
sausage sandwiches and hamburgers. Try the new Slider, a mini-burger on a potato
roll.
Chef Kris Howerton from Tannins set up a grill outside and to create a variety of
breakfast burritos. The choice of ingredients includes eggs, sausage or ham, and
onions. His Irish burrito is made with mashed potatoes and other additions of the
diner’s choice.
In the next booth, Jen Nell of The Trellis Bistro will make Belgian waffles with
strawberry or peach toppings. Last week was the debut of the Beignet (pronounced
bey-YAY). This is an airy, French doughnut and a New Orleans specialty.
Tasty treats to go with The Trellis Bistro coffees can be found throughout the Market--cookies
and sweet rolls or fruited breads. How about pie a la mode? Purchase a mini-pie
from Karen at Fancy Pickins and take it to The Sweet Spot to be topped with one
of their many flavors of ice cream.
After breakfast shop the Market for fresh-picked asparagus, salad greens, radishes
and rhubarb. A wide selection of bedding plants is available—tomatoes, herbs, hanging
baskets, and perennial flowers. Also try our locally grown lamb, pork, beef, eggs,
and home-baked breads.
You still have time to purchase a Prizewinner pumpkin plant for The Great Pumpkin
Contest. A $50 cash prize will be given for the largest pumpkin at Cabalo’s Pumpkin
Patch in October.
The hands-on craft activity at the Confetti’s booth will be rock painting.
The Market is held Saturdays from 9 am to 12 noon at Sandstone Plaza in Kuna at
the west end of Main Street. For more information, contact Cheryl McCord at 922-5113
