Westside Santa Cruz: Farmers Market Pop Up Breakfast
July 27 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
$75 – $150The Santa Cruz Farmers’ Markets folks never miss an opportunity to celebrate around good food. Since 2012 they have been hosting pop-up breakfast events at their markets. At these sweet gatherings guests sit down at long tables with friends and enjoy a fresh, multi-course meal. Each event spotlights an admired local chef giving rise to sensational mixes of simple cuisine made with seasonal ingredients from the very farms that are sold at the markets. Local youth leaders, graduates of the food justice organization FoodWhat, serve the fair and farmers speak about their work. Events are unique, each one offering its own pleasing qualities: a cider or wine tasting, local musicians, seasonal pickles, creative flavor pairings, cultural foods, words from a local fisher or flower grower. Guests walk away satisfied and happy, with only a memory of place and time…and a full belly.
- On July 27th you will find chef Brad Briske of Home Restaurant, a long love of the series who shows up with magic in his pocket every time.
- Companion Baguettes – Whipped butter and Home jams
