Mesquite bean milling at Farmers Market


Published/Last Modified on Friday, October 20, 2006 1:33 PM MDT


If you harvested mesquite beans when they ripened last summer, October 21 is the day to bring them to the Bisbee Farmers Market for milling into a delicious, nutritious flour. Enjoy a free mesquite pancake and prickly pear syrup breakfast and watch Esperanza Arevalo demonstrate making mesquite flour tortillas. Arrive early for the best selection of wonderful fall produce then stay for live music by Amy Ross.


The Bisbee Farmers Market is open from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays through October in Vista Park in the Warren section of Bisbee. It is co-sponsored by the City of Bisbee and the Bisbee Chamber of Commerce. For more information, contact Market Manager Suzi Pretty at 520-227-5060 or stiltons@cableone.net. To get to Vista Park from the Bisbee traffic roundabout, take the Bisbee Road exit and continue until you reach Vista Park on the left.

The final market of the season will be October 28 with a Healthy Harvest and Holiday Fair with a 10 a.m. Halloween costume parade and contest plus games for kids under 10.
