2216 Penn Ave., Strip District. 9 a.m-1 p.m. Saturdays (seasonal)
It's, for one -- The region's only market that is mostly organic, and that is just the first sign of its commitment to sustainable agriculture. It also might be the only in-city farmers' market that regularly offers pastured beef, pork, chicken, lamb, fish from Alaska and goat's milk products. As well as pastured eggs, home spun yarn, home made soap, jams and jellies and fresh bread. New to the market this year are coffee, maple syrup, and charcuterie. On Saturday morning it is the place to be!.

2216 Penn Ave., Strip District. 9 a.m-1 p.m. Saturdays (seasonal)
No offense to any of the area's other fine weekly meeting grounds for folks who grow our food, but this foodie magnet has it all. It's mostly organic, for one -- the region's only market with that distinction, and just the first sign of its commitment to sustainable agriculture. It also might be the only in-city farmers' market that regularly offers pastured beef, pork, chicken and lamb. And eggs. Oh, yeah, and fresh bread, cooking demonstrations, a mushroom guy and, once in a while, a traveling beehive display. On Saturdays, the Strip might seem to overflow with food -- and shoppers -- but since 2002 it's made welcome room for this place.
