College Hill Farmers Market Vendor Spotlight

Yellow Table Farm – Tripoli, Iowa

Eric and Courtney Jensen

Eric & Courtney Jensen own Yellow Table Farm in Tripoli. They sell fresh produce, eggs, and lamb. They got started by growing small gardens in the backyard. The gardens kept getting bigger until they found an acreage for sale. They jumped in with both feet and started learning and growing as they went along! This last year they installed a greenhouse which means more produce and earlier in the season! What do they like to do when they are not at the farmers market or working on the farm? Bicycling, shooting bow, hiking, and enjoying family time.

Bowls of Love

Bowls of Love Christy Stolz & Abigail Stolz (Mother & Daughter) own Bowls of Love! Three years into business they are happy to be joining the market! Abi had the idea while at UNI to start a small Farmers Market business. Her goal was to provide an avenue to assist small charities in our community. Abi bought herself a fancy blender, started working on recipes & applied to the CF Farmers Market. In the first two years of business, Bowls of Love has grown into a food truck & donated $5,500 to local charities.

Sidecar Coffee’s Pour Over Workshop

According to an article on OrganicFacts.net coffee has several health benefits. Benefits range from improving cognition and increase metabolism to improving heart health and protecting your liver. Now we’re not experts on health or coffee but knowing there are some great benefits from our favorite morning beverage just makes us want to drink it more.

So when we heard about an amazing event at Sidecar Coffee we were all in. Held on March 2^nd at 10 am the Pour Over Workshop will teach you how to make the perfect cup using a pour over method. Co-Owner Andy Fuchtman (CHP Past President and current Board Member) said their “top reason [for hosting these workshops] is we want people’s coffee to taste better, and to build our local community of coffee fans.” Who doesn’t want their coffee to taste better? And who doesn’t want to meet new people while learning? Our friends and coffee experts are going to teach this method using the Hario V60. Love coffee and want to learn more about it? Be sure to grab your tickets online by clicking here. Your $30 ticket includes a bag of Sidecar Coffee’s March Costa Rica beans to use at home. You will also have hands-on experience learning from one of the experts at Sidecar Coffee. They tell us spots are limited so make sure to grab your ticket today. This workshop will be hosted at the Sidecar Coffee’s Roaster at 325 Commercial Street, Downtown Waterloo.

Whatever your reason for drinking coffee you aren’t going to want to miss this awesome workshop to learn more about how to make the perfect pour over cup of coffee.
