Winter Market #4 | February 1, 2025 | |
|
With all of the above available and especially seasonal this time of year, our farmers are here to turn Northampton St. into a produce parade. Thanks to our farmers Salvaterra's Gardens, Cabbage Throw Farms, Scholl Orchards, and Aqua Sprout LLC, there is a fantastic variety of fresh produce available week after week. Bring those reusable bags to fill up with the sweetest carrots, spiciest radishes, and savory squash and get ready to see if Puxatawney Phil sees his shadow on Gobbler's Knob this year. Whether or not we have six more weeks of winter, I think we can agree that winter squash season is far from over. Cabbage Throw has a unique take on squash with a recipe for Kabocha squash cookies (see below)! And a recipe for raw squash (yep!) from the Six Seasons cookbook by James McFadden is below to give you a reason to venture into eating raw squash. Let us know if you make the recipe/s!
Have to tried Stehly's kiffles yet? Or Ruby' Hottie Hot Sauce? A bottle of Riesling from Elm Hill Vineyards is the perfect complement to a nice meal over the weekend, or some olives from Jersey Pickles as a late afternoon snack. And it's time to start thinking about Valentine's Day, just two short weeks away...

It's no secret that we're in confusing times for what predicting the future of federal food resources will look like. What we do know and what we will keep true: The Easton Farmers' Market is and will remain a place to connect everyone with the food they need.
In addition to processing EBT cards to be used at our vendors throughout the market, distributing matching Food Bucks to spend on fresh food, and many of our famers accepting FMNP checks, we have resources to connect folks with food pantries in the Lehigh Valley.
Please visit us at our little red EBT tent and let us know if you, or someone you know, would like help accessing local pantries in the Easton area. We have resources to connect everyone with the food they need to support themselves and provide their families with proper nutrition.
