Vendor Spotlight

DAN ROHRER ROCKY CREEK ORCHARDS

This week’s spotlight shines on Dan Rohrer of Rocky Creek Orchards and his amazing Top of Texas apples! He’s been coming to farmer’s markets for over 20 years and bringing his wonderful sustainably grown apples. He brings great apples, fabulous, crispy, sweet honeycrisp and delicious galas. The evercrisp will come in two weeks; and he will have cameos and fuji by the end of October!

JINX BREAD

Once you taste it, you’ll know real bread made from wheat. Crafted with the fewest ingredients possible, and all from Texas. Jinx bread is naturally leavened, a technique for rising dough that dates back centuries, but a process sadly pushed aside for convenience.

Natural leavening is not just easier to digest with a lower degree of gluten intolerance, it adds a subtle yet delicious complexity to the flavor of the bread.

LOST PINES YAUPON TEA

Deliciously refreshing, Yaupon is the only caffeinated native plant in North America. We wild harvest it in the Lost Pines Bastrop area as part of the habitat conservation plan. Our regenerative efforts help restore habitat for the critically endangered Houston toad, our mascot.

Yaupon, aka the “beloved tree”, is rich in minerals, antioxidants, with anti-inflammatory properties. What also makes yaupon so unique is its excellent balance of theobromine (the pleasure molecule found in dark chocolate) and caffeine, so it makes a smooth alternative to coffee without the jitters. And because of its lack of tannins it’s not as bitter; its closest relatives are South American yerba mate and guayusa.

We sell it as a cold beverage in summer, also available hot in the winter. The yaupon concentrates flavored with fruit and herbs, and dried yaupon are also available. One cup of yaupon is free with any purchase all year round.
