We celebrated Independence Day at the market Friday by making a Quincy-style toast to liberty, and thanking veterans for giving it to us. This weekend we asked people  to raise a glass, make the toast, and thank a vet.

Boston Bike Guy!: Behind the Scenes

Quincy son Mike Fink launched a mobile bike repair business at the Quincy Farmers Market with asistance form the Quincy Chamber of Commerce's Startup program. Now he's opened a full service bike shop on Hancock Street. Here is a brief interview we did with Mike the night before the market at his shop. 

Boston Bike Guy celebrated his evolution with a demonstration of Freestyle BMX stunt bike riding - right at center stage at The QFM.

"You had stunt riding right in the middle of the market?"

Yes. Yes we did, and we made a music video out of it. Now we are looking for music composed, performed, or produced in Quincy for the final cut of this production. Please put the word out, and tell us who's music should be on it.

Drink an Iced Cardamon Coffee for Justice

The trick to making iced coffee is to brew your coffee twice as strong as usual. 

1. We used 4 tablespoons per cup of water.
2. We ground El Recreo Estate Coffee set for French Press on our Breville Grinder. 
   
3. Boil just a quarter teaspoon of cardamon seeds per cup of water in the water for 5 minutes. (or add ground cardamon powder to the hot coffee.)
   
4. Steep for as long as you like it strong!
5. Add C&G Beekeeping's Vermont Honey to sweeten.
6. Whip just a little heavy cream from Thatcher Farm (delivered to our doorstep this morning.)
7. Add the dollop of whipped cream.
8. Sprinkle a little ground cardaman on top.

Get veggies, meats, and eggs

and please buy lobsters & fish

Looking for lobster? We lost our fish vendor last week - but maybe for a good reason - because they are so busy on Thursday! Yay! Local fishermen had it tough last year, this might be a good sign. Now who wants to step up to a Community Supported Fishery program at the QFM?
