Market Schedule Change // Menu for Saturday, November 3, 2018

Hi out there, friends! A few notes: as happens every year, the Farmers Market hours are reduced in November. Starting this week, the market is open from 10-2 on Saturdays (instead of 9-3 as before).

We’ll be setting up early this week (9:30) just in case some folks haven’t gotten the message yet. But we’ll be packing up at 2 PM, so don’t be late!

I hope we’ll see you tomorrow, rain or no rain, wind or no wind, blustery November day or not!

Brrrr! // Menu for Saturday, October 27, 2018

We’ll be braving the cold tomorrow to bring some nourishing hot food down to the Ithaca Farmers Market. Hope to see you there!

We’ve had many people asking how much longer we’ll be at the market this year. The answer is: We will continue attending the market on Saturdays through December 15 or until the snow really flies — whichever comes first!

So bundle up and come visit us!

New Locations! // Menu for Saturday, October 20, 2018

The season’s taken a sharp turn toward winter, so be sure you’re taking care of yourself. Stay warm, and nourish your body with nutrient-rich foods. We can help with one of those two things! Come down to the Farmers Market tomorrow for a hot, healthful meal from our booth.

If you’d rather stay in on Saturday, don’t fret — you can now find Macro Mamas products at several new locations around Ithaca. We deliver Macro Meals (like our Sampler Platter), Peanut Lime Noodles, Heavenly Tapioca, and Toasted Almond Chocolate Mousse on Tuesday mornings. We’ve added a few stops to our delivery route: Gimme! Coffee on State Street, Gimme! Coffee at Gates Hall (Cornell) and the Statler Hotel. If you’re out and about, pick up some tasty goodness at any of these or our other retailers.

We hope to see you on Saturday — bundle up and come on out!

Update for Tuesdays: Where to Find Macro Mamas

Hi out there, Tuesday fans. I have bad news and I have good news.

Bad news first: we’ve decided that we will not be attending Tuesday markets in Dewitt Park for the remainder of the season. That’s right: no more Macro Mamas at the Tuesday market! We are not certain yet if we’ll continue to come to Tuesday markets next season, but for 2018, our time has come.

Good news second: There are still plenty of opportunities to get Macro Mamas goodies, including on Tuesdays! If you often find yourself down near Dewitt Park at lunchtime, you’re still in luck! We deliver fresh, delicious Macro Meals to Greenstar Dewitt on Tuesdays mid-morning. They should be hitting the shelves around noon. You can also find our Peanut Lime Noodle in their display case. So before you despair that Macro Mamas won’t be there in person, rest assured we can still be part of your lunch hour on Tuesdays.

Not at Dewitt Park? You can find the same offerings at Greenstar’s West End and Collegetown locations. Or, if you’re near Cornell, look for our Macro Meals at the Gimme! Coffee location in Gates Hall (this one’s new to us — show them some love!). Manndible Café and Temple of Zeus both carry our packaged desserts and Peanut Lime Noodles.

And of course, the best news of all — you can still find us on Saturdays at Steamboat Landing. We’ll be there until the snow flies, or until December 15 — whichever one comes first.

We hope you’re taking care of yourselves and your loved ones. Be sure to invoke your healing + immunity charms of all sorts (Vitamin C, Reishi, Echinacea, Zinc, whatever your preferred potion, with lots of water) as these shoulder seasons can bring new illnesses our bodies aren’t prepared for, especially in times of stress and turmoil. These are troubling times: be strong, be healthy, spread love.
