Come one, come all, and join us for a Holly, Jolly “Low Waste” Tour of the Alameda Marketplace! ⠀
⠀
It’s that time again when food, family, and tradition come together in celebration of another year. It's also that time of year when excess can quickly get even more out of hand. It's a time to reflect on what's ahead too.⠀
⠀
If you've been more mindful about the impact you have and are feeling low/zero waste curious but not sure where to start, well, we have a gift for you. ⠀
⠀
Join us on a one of a kind tour of the Marketplace, and get to know your favorite ‘one-stop-shop’ like never before. Explore all the low waste treats and treasures available to you at the Marketplace. Learn how to buy groceries and prep for the holidays while introducing as little to the landfill as possible! ⠀
⠀
In this workshop, you will:⠀
⠀
• Follow a ‘day in the life’ of local zero waste enthusiast Britt (@heroforzero) as she demonstrates her favorite tips and tricks for low-waste shopping in the Marketplace.⠀
• Locate the bulk section, and learn how filling up on kitchen staples in this department can save money and cut waste.⠀
• Discover the latest in zero/low waste products for beauty, cleaning, storage, and more. ⠀
• Learn to identify “greenwashing” and become savvier in deciphering fact from fiction.⠀
⠀
Date: Friday, December 13th, 2019 ⠀
Time: 6:00pm - 8:00 pm ⠀
Location: Alameda Marketplace, 1650 Park Street at Buena Vista⠀
⠀
Small group, FREE admission, and no RSVP required⠀
⠀
Please meet at the parking lot entrance at 6:00 pm⠀
⠀
We're all about celebrating the blessings and the life this planet gives, so let's learn how to do it without trashing the place.

*[insert sound of loud drilling here]* We could barely hear each other over all the construction activity (very good thing of course!), so we took some photos of merchants in their spaces to capture the moment.

Have you ever wondered why certain carrots taste so good? Farmer Paul Underhill (aka Pablito) of @terrafirmafarm in Winters explains that "despite their ubiquity, carrots are challenging to grow", finicky and requiring sandy, dry soil to grow in a straight line. As a result, very few carrots are grown in Northern California. However, for farms that choose to take on the challenge, our colder temps "raise the sugar level and soften the cellulose that can make the roots more fibrous" produce a sweeter, crunchier carrot (like the Nantes carrots above) that practically beg to be eaten raw. ⁠
.⁠
*TIP* As you can see in the photo the carrot tops are snipped off. Those leafy tops are pretty peeking out of your market bag, @terrafirmafarm says "you should remove them before storing them in the fridge, as the tops will draw moisture out of the roots and make them limp."⁠
.⁠
#castrovalleymarketplace staffer Jeremy Dutra makes pesto with the carrot tops, doing his part to #stopwaste, adding a little honey to the blender to soften the bitterness of the carrot tops. Did you know you can throw almost any green into a pesto? ⁠
