Time has fulfilled its promise and the seasons have zipped by, with winter peeking around the corner. As the days turn in their familiar pattern, I find my words drearily repetitious, and thus, I looked to my initial eblast of the year for inspiration. Glancing back, and looking forward. For June, I wrote about strawberries and spinach; we have progressed to winter squash, potatoes and parsnips. How wondrous these tastes are when following a local, seasonal diet, knowing that now is the time to eat as many brussel sprouts as possible, then to freeze the rest for a time when they are not available directly from the fields. And that is what we present to you, the opportunity to purchase fresh, beautifully grown vegetables mindfully nurtured by the farmers. Produce grown with love and care; nourishment for the body, the soul and the environment. And, magically, this applies to all the other food sold at the market, and the artwork as well. With pleasure we offer you a room full of honest food, groove and creativity.
Available this Tueday: Winter squash (acorn and butternut), onions, potatoes (red-skinned and white), collards and mustard greens, lettuce, arugula, carrots, and sprouts; (maybe even brussel sprouts and parsnips!). Pasture raised beef and chickens, and eggs from happy hens. Fresh roasted coffee and beans; tea and tea related gift baskets; whole grain breads, waffles, granolas, pies and yummy vegan food to eat on the spot. Cheese made from content grass-fed cows; vegan and hemp based baked goods; honey and maple syrup; awesome Irish soda breads and scrumptious Gaelic food; salsas and hot sauces with related gift baskets, and a vast array of spices. AND, knitted goods, jewelry made from silverware, artwork crafted out of found materials and stoneware pottery. Remember to bring your knives or other dull objects to be sharpened!
