chez Fruiterie Atwater!!

Today we placed a custom Pop Culture freezer at Fruiterie Atwater in Atwater Market!  

The whole market was bursting with inspiration: piles of sweet corn, sunflowers, paniers of wild blueberries, sausage and fennel pizza, truffle or porto kissed cheese, and the grilled stylings of the SATAY Brothers...worth the price of admission alone.  

Fruiterie Atwater is a carefully curated pantry of fresh (and often rare) fruit, veggies, herbs, + wild mushrooms...  I am coveting some balsamic vinegar beads which I spotted there...

I digress.  But then again, the market is all about happy disgression, right?

Here is the freezer



inside which you will see 12 ways to get fruity!





On est super fier!!!  Merci Carlos et Angela!!

pops in Ste. Anne de Bellevue!

There is a very special shop in Ste. Anne de Bellevue, called la Cooperative du Grand Orme, which sells organic foods, and fabbo snacks.  You will recognize its unique presence by the grapes growing up the front railing...or the conversational Spanish classes going on inside.  Last year I bought ground cherry plants from them. Attack!!  (luckily I like to munch these...)    Pop culture is now in their freezer.

Thanks James and les ami(e)s du Coop!

bonjour Montreal!

Cette extrait belle de chez Latina:
POP CULTURE 
On est tous pareils. On se plaint du froid, puis du chaud, de la neige, de la pluie et même du beau temps.
Heureusement, il y a des petits plaisirs qui nous font aimer les saisons. Quoi de mieux qu’un bon chocolat chaud onctueux quand le blizzard souffle dans les branches ? Quoi de plus agréable qu’un thé et des sablés quand la pluie tambourine à la fenêtre ? Et quoi de plus joyeux que de suçoter un popsicle en tirant la langue au soleil ?
C’est exactement la raison pour laquelle nous nous sommes mis en quête de popsicles, un produit étrangement absent de notre palais des glaces. L’univers a dû nous entendre puisque Julia de POP CULTURE a pointé le bout de son nez juste à ce moment là. Fabriqués à la main à Hudson (QC), ces magnifiques pops sont réalisés avec des fruits + des fruits + un peu de sucre + beaucoup d’amour. Ça se voit… et ça se sent. Pour le moment 7 saveurs vous attendent en rayon :
Lime Crémeuse – Coco Crémeuse – Ananas Menthe – Chocolat – Hibiscus Mûre
Banane Rôtie et Érable – Fraise Rhubarbe Gingembre

artist Carolyn Weisnagel interprets Pop Culture

Well!  If it wasn't already a superb week...look at this picture:

It's Carolyn Weisnagel's wearable interpretation of one of our popsicle flavours, labneh blueberry!

She silk screened these t-shirts at a workshop in Montreal.  I think they are awesome and can hardly wait to try and finagle one out of her...

Here are 2 links to other work by Carolyn Weisnagel

"3 Bonnes raisons d'aller au marche Finnegan's" par Ariane Gagnon

1) Les popsicles Pop Culture.Ces glaces fruitées artisanales sont fabriquées à la main par une gentille dame à l’imagination fertile. À date, j’ai testé les saveurs avocat-lime, limonade-lavande et limonade indienne (avec cumin)…et je ne saurais choisir mon préféré! Ils sont tous EXQUIS, rafraîchissants…et santé!
