MBCFM > Market News > Thanksgiving Just Got A Whole Lot Easier!

This past season our farmers markets welcomed Chef Jody Lombardo, owner of Bay Living Culinary, who sells a variety of fresh and flavorful take-home comfort foods including pot pies, clam chowder, zesty turkey chili, bone broth, and simmer sauces. Additionally, Jody is taking special orders for Thanksgiving side dishes to make your family feast spectacular (and a whole lot easier!).

Make Your Thanksgiving Holiday A Breeze
Bay Living Culinary will have all the traditional Thanksgiving side dishes and Chef Kits to make your holiday extra special. Jody says, “You’ll actually have time to focus on your guests and enjoy the day!” You provide the turkey, and all the rest can be ordered and picked up at the Aptos Farmers Market on November 18 or at the SHEF Lounge at the Miramar in Watsonville on November 21 and 22.

Place your orders early since there is limited capacity for the number of orders that can be accepted. All orders MUST be received and pre-paid by November 11.
