Good morning

It's that time of year. We pause midway through each long season to say a warm "thanks so much" and reflect on all the good flavors, scents, sights and sounds of our market. Our vendors are our heart and soul and work tirelessly to bring us their best and brightest. This week and next we're bringing them to you right here. Meet your Market!

Just a few are camera shy...

M ohamed at New Roots has some gorgeous beans-both green & yellow. And the dill is awesome in it's fragrance-buy both-blanch the beans, add light olive oil and chopped dill and fresh pepper-bingo!

Gracies Garden has 3 krauts: Sauer, Swedish Blend, Babushka. Each a distinctive flavor, all great with grilled meats, especially sausag-y type stuff.

At Pine Tree Poultry , it's never too early to order ahead. They are taking orders for Thanksgiving-sign up now and feel virtuous November !!

At Hahns End, you'll taste Deb's joy in her work in every bite
Beryl has so many luscious pastries and scones, it's easy to forget how divine her coolies are. Try the simply elegant shortbreads, or the dark chocolate espresso pecan.

After you load up on fresh corn and blues at Hawkes Farm, reward yourself with some of their beautiful, easy to care for, low water succulents.

Springdale Farm specializes in products with a flair. Grill up a batch of chorizo and bratwurst for a Saturday night supper with something for any meat lover...

Brian, cranberry king and master of small batches, at Sparrow Farm
At Oyster Creek, Julianne is showcasing some lovely lobster, and shiitake. Lots of Maine sourced 'shrooms right now.

Angela at Jyang_Lee suggests using her tasty Peanut Sauce, some toasted sesame seed, and lightly blanched string beans for a fresh, fast and tangy summer salad.

At Appleton Creamery , popular, and very seasonal,chevre in basil and olive oil.-- It ends when the basil does. Happy note: it freezes like a dream.

Pick up a pretty bouquet and a market basket from Mindful Gardens. Simply fine.

At Tarbox Farm, Angela & Kyle bring us beautiful, always interestng varietals and fresh ideas. And now, a brewery..
Old Narrow Gauge has plenty of chops-rich, juicy pork, to toss on the barby. Add some fruity glaze made with one of Amy's syrups to enhance the wow factor.

Those little swirly pastries with crumbs and raisins at Hooteanny make every morning a holiday in Paris. And the whole wheat croissants are right there with them. Affordable luxuries...

Try some of Sparrow Farm's rhubarb jam on that croissant, or maybe on fresh country toast made with one of Chase Farms anadama loaves.
