Thanksgiving Market!

We have a completely full market this Saturday, with new and returning vendors. For once the weather is co-operating and the sun will be shining, bringing out the colors of the fall produce and flowers, the market should look fab!

Fresh produce is in abundance. From Brown Bottle Farm we’ll have an amazing variety of salad greens, plus cabbage, carrots, winter squash, beets, radishes. They are bringing their hot sauce too plus 3 varieties of wild-foraged mushrooms including Chanterelles, Hedgehog and Yellow Feet. Sun Love Farm will have watermelon radish (delicious fresh, roasted and even curried!) , collards, Brussel sprouts, arugula, mustard greens, escarole, endive, radicchio, green and savoy cabbage, leeks, celeriac, broccoli, salad turnips, butternut squash, acorn, pie pumpkins. Coyote Ridge Farm will have their wonderful parsnips, fingerling potatoes and more. (Coyote Ridge is taking a break this winter and will be back in the spring after this weekend) Just in case you thought summer was over, RJ Farms still have tomatoes, peppers and strawberries, as well as their gorgeous cauliflower, fresh hazelnuts and plenty of farm fresh eggs. Kiyokawa Orchards are sending a huge selection of apples and pears and their just-pressed cider. Lee’s Gardens are bringing fresh flowers…the last time before their Spring daffodils.
