We're back on the riverfront this Saturday so come get fa la la la FRESH with us! We know you're all out of all your EFM staples by now. And the market is also a brilliant place to shop for the FOODIES on your holiday list. See you Saturday!

Cabbage is extra sweet and abundant this time of year. This spicy dish would go great with some juicy pork chops or steak from Breakaway Farms!

It’s time for the Holidays! Phillips Farms now has hand-decorated Christmas wreaths and door swags in all sizes, in addition to all sorts of fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm. Produce available at Phillips this week includes: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, leeks, spinach, kale, bok choy, broccoli rabe, arugula, radishes, scallions, fennel, beets, carrots, cabbage, fresh herbs, potatoes, onions, winter squash and much more! Apple varieties include: Evercrisp, Fuji, Macoun, Braeburn, Pink Lady and Gold Rush, and don’t forget the freshly pressed apple cider. Fragrant Eucalyptus bunches are still available and great for holiday decorating.  

December is here but Cabbage Throw Farm still has an abundance of salad greens. Red and green head lettuce along with crisp romaine and mini gem romaine can be chopped into a Caesar salad or tossed with a citrus vinaigrette and topped with sliced apple, nuts, and pickled red onion. Or have you tried mixed greens with roasted sweet potatoes and toasted sliced chickpeas?!

Spinach, Bok choy, winter squash, garlic, onion, carrots, beets, specialty radish, kohlrabi, turnips, herbs and more will also be at market this weekend. Also available are Comeback Farm potatoes and pears. -Emily

Mushrooms are a must-have for hearty winter soups and stews. Or try roasting them and tossing them into your salads! Primordia is flush on all the mushrooms right now - so much so that they are almost out of harvest bins! Look for a bunch of Black Pearl*, Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Oysters, and even some chestnut mushrooms this weekend!

*Black Pearl is hybrid that blends the hearty texture of a King Trumpet oyster, and the growth style of a regular oyster mushrooms. They have an earthy, umami flavor that's perfect for a meatless main or as part of another dish. You can use the entire mushroom - the cap and the stem.

We have lots of lovely greens this week and the lettuce mix is tender and flavorful. Here's a picture of a pretty red leaf variety that's part of the mix. Fall salads that have bursts of sweetness from fresh apples and dried cranberries, tanginess from goat or sheep cheese and zesty spice from dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar just never get old! And they are the perfect salad for sourcing fresh ingredients from your local market. Here's a good recipe: Favorite Green Salad Recipe - Cookie and Kate -Jess

Winter Blues: Out 2021 blue cheese-making season started in August. We put a lot of energy into this recipe, building off last year— tossed what we didn’t like, kept what was delicious. We’re really proud of this year’s blue and encourage you to try it. Its creamy, medium-blue profile leaves lots of room for notes of hay, broth, and chocolate to come through.

We love it when our market vendors go on to open their own shops. Congratulations to Kristine Shive and her daughters who opened up Bella's Pet Wellness and Dog Cafe last Saturday at 123 N. Second Street in downtown Easton! Your EFM market manager, and her faithful pup Liam performed an official inspection on opening day and I'm happy to report that this beautiful (and tasty) new shop definitely earned Liam's seal of approval. He went home with a big juicy bone, a beef trachea, some liver jerky (and a slew of Christmas gifts, shhhh...).

Bella's will not be at the December market so be sure to stop by the shop for stocking stuffers and gifts for your furry friends (cats too)!

Kristine has created, a lovely tranquil space that you can share with your pup. She's a wealth of information when it comes to holistic pet care and we look forward to watching her business evolve!
