text: It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Arcadia Farms and when I heard they were going to be opening a marketplace across the street I was psyched Of course this was many months ago So when I woke up this morning to see an email in my inbox thanks Lisa G saying that they were now open for business I was very excited and knew immediately where to go for lunch nnNeedless to say I made it a priority to get there as soon as possible I did not want to miss the opportunity to get the FTR While it is different than I expected I was pleasantly surprised nnThe menu is diverse and includes many of the AF signature items such as the Mushroom Spinach Goat Cheese Tart the Strawberry Chicken Salad and their extraordinary desserts In addition they offer plenty of new options such as a Chopped Italian Salad a Tuna Nicoise Salad and a Roasted Artichoke Ricotta Cheese sandwich There is a daily soup and plenty of breakfast items think everything from muesli to quiche muffins croissants and granola parfaits Arcadia Farms famous apricot iced tea is also on the menu as well as a full coffee menu nnI went with the AF Breakfast Sandwich It is an MJ English muffin scrambled eggs aged cheddar cheese and your choice of ham or bacon They made it with egg whites for me and it was delicious My dining companions had a sandwich and soup respectively Everything is made togo but there is plenty of seating outside if you choose to dine there like we did today nnMarketplace offers a simpler fastcasual option for breakfast lunch or a comforting snack in Old Town They use natural organic and local products and it shows Everything is fresh and delicious I anticipate this being a welcome addition to my rotation of goto spots in my hood
