Market Update for November 1st
Irma from Azteca Farms has something special at her booth this week! 🌸 Stop by to see the beautiful flower display and learn the heartfelt reason behind it.
–
Cempasúchil flowers, also known as Marigold, have been used in Mexico for centuries. The flower is primarily used for one of our most important holidays —
Dia de Los Muertos (day of the Dead); the way in which we observe the holiday differs from region to region. In our house, we set up an altar with flowers, photos of our loved ones who have passed, and candies or bread. It’s a nice way to remember family members who have passed on.
