One Pan Pork Egg Roll Bowl

It’s National Farmers Market Week, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by shopping local and letting the season’s freshest ingredients inspire your next meal. That’s exactly what I did at the Hampton Farmers Market this week — and the result? A flavorful, One Pan Pork Egg Roll Bowl!

This year, we’ve been selling our VIP Farms Pork at the Hampton Farmers Market, and during Tuesday’s market, I decided to let the fresh produce and local goodies inspire my meal planning for the week. One of the first things that caught my eye were the giant cabbages from Puffer Roske Farms — they were huge! I couldn’t resist the size and freshness and instantly knew it would make the perfect base for an egg roll bowl featuring some of our own VIP Farms ground pork. From there, I picked up bell peppers and onions from Koenigs’ Acres Farm, plus some garlic from Hershey Family Nursery — and just like that, I had the makings of something delicious. I even treated us to dessert from Becca’s Bakery… although the kids devoured it before we even left the market!

Our local Hampton Farmers Market is full of treasures just like these. It runs Tuesdays and Fridays from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Hwy 3, just east of Hardee’s. Whether you’re after farm-fresh produce, locally raised meat, a sweet treat or some amazing crafts, there’s something for everyone!

Here’s how I turned my finds into a quick, hearty, and healthy dinner:
