All interested in fresh produce and other unique products are invited to South Jordan’s farmer market. It’s held weekly on Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. until October at 10610 S. Redwood Road. It has the beautiful backdrop of the South Jordan City Hall. Front and center are two tents. One is open for free and fun crafts. The other is an information center for the City of South Jordan.
“The uglier the melon, the better the taste,” advised Kindra Senzig, the Sugar Sweet Produce representative working in the Green River Melons tent. This is a popular stop for shoppers looking for a variety of delicious cantaloupe, watermelon or honeydew melons.
Those who enjoy something more savory may prefer onions from the Schmidt’s tent. Schmidt’s has been farming in West Jordan since 1911. They grow and sell produce in local farmers markets like their neighbor’s in South Jordan.
Several tents are worth checking out. There are artisan made pottery, ceramics and jewelry. And, for a delicious and cool pick-me-up, visiting the tent selling gelato is something to look forward to.
Another important visit for some would be the Fry Roast Coffee tent. Fry Roast Coffee is a revolutionary coffee company because it uses a patent pending technology to roast coffee. Stop by to learn more about their uniquely smooth, non-bitter, low acid and eco-friendly coffee.
“We’re excited our Mongolian beef dumplings are becoming more in demand and offer four dumplings frozen or steamed fresh here at the farmers market,” said Richard Nkansah, Buuz Bites co-owner with his wife Zola. “This is one component of Mongolian cuisine and we offer a cabbage salad for a fresh offering on the side.”
Zola Nkansah is from Mongolia and has been perfecting her dumpling and cabbage salad recipes for years. They are actual South Jordan residents which makes their Buuz Bites tent very unique. Richard Nkansah has spoken with those who are apprehensive about their Mongolian beef dumplings, but that changes after they try them. λ
