You: What?! My Market isn’t open! But, I want to check out all the local options!
Us: We hear you! We get as excited as you do to shop the weekly market.
You: So, what gives?
Here’s the deal…Our market changes each week based on what our farmers and artisans are harvesting, raising and baking at any given time. That’s why we can’t post a static menu – it changes too much from one week to the next! But, we know that when you’re deciding from where to purchase your food, you may want a little more information, right? To give you an idea of what you can expect from Seasonal Roots, here’s what the local options were for our customers last week!
First, folks get to choose a small, medium, or large basket.
For Members, the basket prices are:
Small Basket (4 produce choices) – $19
Medium Basket (8 produce choices) – $34
Large Basket (12 produce choices) – $40
For Guests, the basket prices are:
Small Basket (4 produce choices) – $24
Medium Basket (8 produce choices) – $36
Large Basket (12 produce choices) – $42
Then, customers fill their basket based on what’s available locally that week.
The basket choices for this week included: asparagus, radishes, several varieties of greens cluster tomatoes, spinach, bok choy, sweet potatoes, blueberries, mint, chives, broccoli, cilantro, spring onions, kale, and a few pastry items! You can mix and match based on your family’s preferences and needs for the week.
Then, top your basket off with some extras.
The list of extras have costs that vary each week, with extra items as inexpensive as $2.50, and with some of our pricier items being our pasture raised meats. Some of the customer favorites from this week? Blueberry muffins, cherry tomatoes, rustic bread, kimchi, garlic hummus, milk, pasture raised eggs, locally roasted coffee, kombucha, cinnamon buns, mushrooms, honey, chioggia beets, colby cheese, granola and mozzarella! That’s not all though, we had over 60 extra items for Members to choose from this week!
Once you place your order over the weekend, we send orders to your local farmers and artisans first thing Monday morning. Then, we pack baskets on Tuesdays for delivery on Wednesday to Northern Virginia, Fredericksburg and Charlottesville. Then, we pack baskets again on Wednesday for delivery on Thursday to greater Richmond, Hampton Roads and Virginia Beach!
With nearly 500 varieties of produce, meat, dairy, baked goods and artisan products over the course of our season – we’re sure you’ll find something (or many things) to tickle your taste buds.
We can’t wait for you to see next week’s menu on Friday.
