You say Tomato, and I say Yes!, Finally, TOMATO!
No matter how you spell it, the one question every veggie grower in the country was asking this summer was “What’s up with the tomatoes?” Slow to start, and even slower to ripen, they got to most markets at least two weeks to a month behind last year. But, they are coming on strong now, […]

Please come by the Sweetwater Market and show your support. Barb and Amy are going to be there with their […]
Welcome to Good Food News!
In our market’s 3 + years of existence one of the things we treasure the most is the many exhilarating conversations we have every market day. The vendors and customers of Sweetwater are a wonderfully diverse group and we all like to talk – about food, politics, you name it! The problem is that so […]
