Organic eggs, fruit, vegetables, honey, herbs and plant starts are just a few of the things one can find at the Tuesday Growers Market which starts its 10th season Tuesday at the Moscow Co-op.

The market runs form 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday now through October 16 in the Moscow Food Co-op parking lot. Besides local food the market features free concerts by local musicians.

All growers are from within 50 miles of Moscow and committed to sustainable practices. Other items for sale include nuts, jellies, jams, baked goods, homemade ice cream and frozen vegan treats. One can also put in orders for lamb and pork.
