Brooklyn-based lovers of Luke's Lobster don't need to cross the East River to enjoy what is arguably the greatest lobster roll in this fair city. On every Sunday in January, the popular little crustacean purveyor will be operating a stall at the Foodshed, an indoor farmers’ market on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill. Also in the house: National Crab with their tasty crabcakes, vegan soup from Corey Belle, Dimples Dumplings, Pure Goodies toffee, Swoon Sweets and Savories, and Beyond Kombucha. And that's not all! Lacto-ferment demonstration, anyone?
We're told the event will feature free tastings, live folk music, and three lacto-ferment demonstrations to show you how to preserve "a beautiful ceramic crock full of winter vegetables." And of course the Foodshed will also feature all the usual local farmers' market offerings, from veggies to fish and duck. The goal of the market, which started in September, is to support The Commons, a community and education center that runs in the space the rest of the week and strives to "make a connection between consumers and regional producers in the hopes of creating a more just and sustainable food system."
388 Atlantic Avenue, between Hoyt and Bond streets // Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
