Other stuff
Waterfront Park is north of the Freight Shed, about 200 steps. So it is right on the river, and it is often cool or cold when it's windy or drizzly or grey, sometimes on a sunny day. It always pays
to ha
ve a sweater or hoodie or whatever in the car
We have clean and well maintained restrooms at the north end of the park. Thanks to the City of Bath!

Fuzzy
Udder Creamery

Hawke
s
Farm
are back, with, bringing luscious cheeses and lovely flowers respectively. .
Our newest vendor,
Alchimiia
, is located at the North End-please stop and check out their elegant Italian fruit tarts, well crafted pastas, and more. I am already a fan of their chocolate orange cookies...
Make sure you grab a flyer for the
Midcoast Cheese Trial
from one of our cheesemakers; or at the info table . Make plans for a weekend tour as spring surges on; enjoying the countryside and visiting the nine participating farms-ia great way to relax and learn about cheesemaking ,cheese, mingle with the animals, treat your taste buds..
It's all good,

At Springdale Farm, so smooth cream cheese with ginger peach preserves to yum your morning
From our vendors

Tracey at
Pemaquid
Lobster
has fresh oysters still, and she had crab meat last week. Look for her weekly specials. And remember her chowders are gluten free.
Judy at
MicroMainea
has brought her first "Backyard Bouquets" of the season. Grab a pretty posy while scarfing up those friendly microgreens.

Simply spring, Backyard Bouquets at MicroMainea
Hawkes
has some awesome Martha Washington geraniums in a variety of pinks, purples and creams- nice iris too. And strong healthy herbs ready to plop right into the ground. My favorite sage is beautiful
Fuzzy Udder
uses a variety of milks in her cheeses and willing staff is happy to help you find your favorite texture and flavor. And her sheep's milk yogurt is a memorable experience for aficionados of all hings smooth and creamy.
Oyster Creek
is scoring high with its Shiitake and Maiitake lately. They still have CSA slots; the first offering will arrive with the morels

Shiitake from Oyster Creek lured several Alchimia pasta buyers last week-natural selection!
iCarol at
Borealis
notes that the popular Cinnamon Raisin loaf is back. It makes very satisfying French toast.
There's a fresh batch of Granite Kiss, all ashy and delightful, at
Appleton Creamery

Rustic sourdoughs at Borealis-a true treat

Joe at
Hootenanny
had an alluring pile of chocolate croissants last week, hopefully there will be more. The whole wheat croissants are pretty special too-buttery and soft.
Try the roasted chicken breast at
Pine Tree Poultry
, just right for sandwiches and salads.
Beryl
often brings in limited edition items for just a week or two. Last weeks maple sugar tart was a creamy softly mapled delight. It's like a treasure hunt, seeing what she's done new!
