"Food should be fun."
Thomas Keller
This past weekend at the Houston Hot Sauce Festival, a handful of chilehead judges tasted dozens of salsas from across the country in a Texas-style, shoot-'em-up salsa contest. This competition was held not only to give a few companies bragging rights, but also to raise both awareness and money for the Snowdrop Foundation, a worthy organization dedicated to assisting patients and families at Texas Children's Cancer Center.
So why do we care about a salsa contest in Houston? Meet Chuck Evans' MONTEZUMA Brand Sauces & Salsas. Chuck took first place in the "Best Fruit-Based Salsa" category for his Smokey Chipotle Raspberry Lime Salsa.
Visit the Bexley Farmers' Market and help us congratulate Chuck on his latest national honor!

Bexley Farmers' Market: September 13th

How does shopping at a farmers market help my local economy?
Farmers markets generate business, and business creates jobs. A 2011 Economic Research Service report found that fruit and vegetable farms selling into local and regional markets employ 13 fulltime workers per $1 million in revenue earned, for a total of 61,000 jobs in 2008. Comparatively, fruit and vegetable farms that are not selling locally employed only three full-time workers per $1 million in revenue.
Farmers markets also bring business to neighboring stores and communities where the market is located. Spending money at farmers markets keeps your money in circulation within the local community, preserving and creating local jobs. This is very different from many major grocery stores where a large percentage of sales leave the community, and possibly even the state or the region.
Support your farmers, artisans, and your community at the Bexley Farmers' Market!
