ATLANTIC, IA – Produce in the Park is delighted to offer customers local peaches this week. Market Manager Brigham Hoege says vendor Brun Ko Farm will be selling the Iowa-grown peaches in the downtown City Park, and the market’s guest chef will be handing out samples of peach salsa. Peach salsa is good with chips, but also pairs well with pork (also sold at the park).

This week’s food trucks are Pim’s Thai and Pomodoro Fresh Italian. Pomodoro offers a plain butter noodle option for kids, and will offer that popular dish in adult-sized portions thanks to Produce in the Park customer feedback.

The Atlantic Lions Club will be at the park this week with free putt-putt golf and bags games, and Atlantic Parks and Recreation will set up checkers and chess, in addition to a variety of yard games. Produce in the Park continues to welcome new vendors to the park throughout the season. Within the last few weeks, a vendor selling sourdough bread and produce has joined the market, along with a vendor selling hand-embroidered dishtowels and t-shirts. Check out these new vendors at the park on August 25.
