The team at Spoon Full Farm believes in a whole earth approach to farming, and a waste-free approach to cooking and eating. When we approached them for a recipe, we were not surprised when they shared one for beef bone broth, a versatile ingredient that ensures every part of the animal is honored and put to good use. Bones for the stock can be found at the Spoon Full Farm booth at the Capitol Hill Farmers Market.

A Tenessee native, Ben has traveled and eaten around the world. He joined our market community this past summer after living in Cambodia. No matter how far he travels, Ben keeps his favorite recipes from home close to heart. He was kind enough to share his family’s Tortilla Soup recipe, a classic they always enjoy around the holidays. Be sure to cook and eat this dish with your loved ones, even if you can only be together from far apart this year.

Jonica Strongman, Manager of the West Seattle Farmers Market, knows that the way to the heart is through the stomach. (Just ask her husband Kel). She shared her family’s recipe for hearty potato leek soup to help us warm our bellies and spirits this holiday season. The best part? You can find nearly all these ingredients at your local farmers market.
