One of our newer merchants at the Mar Vista Farmers Market is Pop Candy, creator of yummy butter crunch treats.
Like its namesake, the Pacific Ocean Park (”POP”)––an amusement park that used to exist in Santa Monica––Pop Candy is a product of neighboring Santa Monica.
In addition to their “munch it on the spot” snacks, Pop Candy also provide customized treats for special events. We love their packaging too!
The Mar Vista Farmers Market will be open as usual this Sunday, March 23 (Easter Sunday.)
Hop on over!
Join Mar Vista Farmers’ Market Manager Diana Rodgers in a pledge to Bring Your Own Bag!
Did you know you can reduce your carbon footprint, help eliminate waste and pollution, and give yourself a chance at some great prizes in one simple step? It’s a win-win situation for you, the community and the ecosystem … and you can even win a $5000 prize package from Brighter Planet.
Just fill out the pledge form at c3.newdream.org and then start using reusable bags when you go shopping.
Just by doing that you’ll start making a dent in the waste of the 12 million barrels of oil and the 14 million trees used to produce plastic and paper bags each year. Plus you’ll curb your carbon footprint by almost 4 pounds each month. New American Dream has also made it easier for you to join the new BYOB, when you pledge you get a coupon for 20% off from ReusableBags.com.
Worldwide, an estimated 4 billion plastic bags end up as litter each year. Tied end to end that’s enough to circle the earth 63 times. Isn’t it time to start making a difference? Pledge Now to Bring Your Own Bag!
By the way, if you show up at the Mar Vista Farmers’ Market without your own bag, you can purchase one at the market. Strong, roomy, and with long handles you sling over your shoulder, the bags cost $12 and have the market’s colorful logo to show our Mar Vistan community pride and support for our local farmers market.
The Farmers’ Market will be closed December 30th and back to usual on January 6th.
See you in 2008!
