Terra Verde Farms

Today, I stood in the shade of a tree on a street corner waiting for the Terra Verde guy to come hook me up with a fix of the Apricot Drizzle. There’s nothing like this stuff! I’ve built a recipe around it which I plan to make for an upcoming brunch and I can’t make it to the public market in time to replenish my stash. Besides, they haven’t been at the Phoenix Market in a while (although, I hear they will return soon and can still be found the Scottsdale one). Fortunately, they’ve generously met me on a street corner so I could «get the goods» on more than one occasion!
I «discovered» Terra Verde products when my taste buds were overcome by the delicious apricot spread served with my toast at Matt’s Big Breakfast. I could not get enough! After breakfast, I rushed across the street to the Downtown Phoenix Public Market (fortunately, it was a Saturday) to pick up my own supply.
Terra Verde Farms is a small, family-​owned and operated specialty food business. Items are handmade in small batches from family recipes and there are no artificial flavorings, preservatives or colors.
Without a doubt, the emphasis is on the flavor in their products. The apricot «preserves» are labeled as apricot «drizzle» and that’s a fitting description because the product doesn’t gel quite like a jam or jelly. But the flavor! OMG!
Other TVF products I’ve enjoyed include: peach-​pear-​apple hot sauce, which is great for a pork tenderloin and the strawberry lavender preserves (the lavender is very subtle).
I’ve seen the chile and tomato products for sale at Ticoz, but their preserves and marmalades are tough to come by, outside of public markets and their online store. If you spy some, grab ‘em!
