Apisol highlights Bay Area honey
Perusing a local farmers market is my favorite way to stock up on foods and check out the bounty of fruits and veggies available, from kale, cabbage and cucumbers to eggplant, okra and stone fruits aplenty as the year rolls on. And while I’m mostly in it for the fresh produce, it’s also fun to browse the stalls for prepared foods and drinks. You never know when you might discover a new favorite treat.
In this week’s newsletter you can read my interview with the founder of Apisol, a local line of sparkling honey beverages. Apisol is available at several farmers markets, as well as stocked by a couple of retailers and at various pop-ups. See you at the market!
Stay tasty,
Karla
