What's New....Mountain View Poultry is now taking orders for pasture raised Thanksgiving turkeys.
The Gold Rush Rush is on at North Star Orchard! Stake your claim to a
share of this year's harvest of amazing Gold Rush apples and varietal
Gold Rush apple cider. Gold Rush are sugary-tart, super-crisp, and
make for amazing eating as well as prize-winning pies and sauce. To
top it all off, they keep well, too...up to several months in the
fridge. Gold Rush varietal cider is great to freeze to have on hand
for the holidays and during the winter, and it makes fantastic
homebrewed hard cider, for those so inclined to do so... but it's
available one week only by pre-order. Learn more about The Gold Rush
Rush and stake your claim online at: Gold Rush
(I must add that if you haven't yet had a North Star Asian Pear, they are so tasty and, sadly, almost gone!)
Stargazers Vineyard will be at this week's market, be sure to ask them about their upcoming release of 2009 Dornfelder.
Baues' Busy Bees have a lovely collection of fall and holiday beeswax candles along with their local honey.
Country Time Farm, Great Harvest, Hoaglands, and Whole Hearted Bakery will all return to the market this week.

Hello Market Shoppers!
Despite the rain last week we had a busy day. We have some super cute entries for our pet contest too! If you have a lovable pet at home, bring a photo to the market this week and you can win a gift certificate from the market and a gift from Pup Bistro.
We also have a special guest coming this Saturday, LuAnn Roth, will be demonstrating her Kindermusik classes that she teaches in Phoenixville, inspiring a love of music in children for life!
Also, of note, it is time to order turkeys from Mountainview Poultry and Gold Rush Apples from North Star. Gold Rush apples store very well during the winter and they are only going to be available by preorder and picked up on Nov 14th and Nov 21st.

Apple/Pear Chutney
(recipe from North Star Orchard)
1 ½ lbs. fruit (apples, Asian pears, and/or peaches)
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1 T. chopped ginger root (available at Charlestown Farm)
½ c. orange juice
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. cloves
1 t. salt
1 c. honey (more to taste)
1 c. cider vinegar
Cayenne to taste
The mysterious Indian relish, demystified. It's only
slightly more complicated to make than applesauce. And you can vary
it's sweetness, non-sweetness or relative spiciness according to your
own taste. Preparation time should include an hour to simmer and
several hours (or even days) to 'ripen' (flavors to meld). Chutney will
keep, if packaged in a sterile, sealed jar. Otherwise, it needs to be
used in about a week or so.
Coarsely
chop the apples (you needn't peel them). Combine everything in a heavy
saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered,
stirring occasionally...about 45 min. - 1 hour. Cool before storing in a
jar (unless you are canning). Recipe makes about 1 quart.

Looking Ahead
Next week is Halloween! Children can stop by the information area for a special honey treat!
We are looking forward to having Spirit Wing, the critically acclaimed Native American musical group and storytellers, back at the market on November 7th. We will also have activities and information from the Lenape Nation.
We are pleased to announce that the Phoenixville Farmers' Market will be open for limited hours during the winter and early spring! Our schedule is as follows:
