It’s Almost the 4th of July!
Independence Day is right around the corner. I can smell the fireworks already! Nothing beats spending the day with family in someone’s backyard and playing in a pool or sprinkler with the smell of BBQ’d burgers and dogs wafting through the air. We hope that this 4th of July you buy most of your party supplies at the Chico Certified Farmers Market!
Swap out your traditional burgers and dogs for some locally sourced chicken, pork, and beef, or get even wilder with some wild-caught Alaska salmon! See Aldrin and Sons for fish, Wookey Ranch for chicken, Divide Ranch for beef, and Llano Secco for pork.
Not a meat eater? No problem! We have plenty of wonderful fruits and vegetables available that are just divine when grilled. Try some summer squash and zucchini sliced, drizzled in olive oil, and dusted with garlic salt for an irresistible vegetable dish. For fruit try grilling up some peaches – just cut them in half, remove the pit, and place them flesh side down right on the flames. It’s one of my favorite summer treats!
For celebratory toasting, visit Sierra Nevada Brewery for amazing local seltzers and beer, and La Rocca Winery for tantalizing organic wines. There’s something available for everyone!
However you choose to celebrate, we hope it’s a blast. Happy 4th of July from all of us at the Chico Certified Farmers Market!
