Vendor of the Week
Figue Envie
Figue Envie’s last market of the holiday season will be this coming Sunday December 22nd. You can catch Mandy out with fig jam, fig preserves, and fig cakes! We look forward to welcoming her back come fig season in July for fresh figs as well.
Owners and fig farmers, Mandy and Byron met while serving in Mali as agricultural volunteers in the Peace Corp. Now the husband and wife are teachers in New Orleans, but they spend their summer vacations connecting with their farming roots. After tending to fig trees on family land since 2006, they purchased a new plot which has allowed them to quadruple their production. Figue Envie produces fresh figs, traditional fig preserves, as well as specialty flavors like Balsamic Fig Jam, Fig Pepper Jelly, and Autumn Spiced Fig Preserves.
