You will find all of the producers set up together in the upper section of the Market in the gravel area. The weather may not be as lovely as it is now, but don't let that stop you from bundling up and coming out to get your great LOCAL food. Artisans Cafe will have lots of great hot drinks to warm you up, Pureblend Tea will have hot matcha teas, and St. Peters' Bakery will have hot soup.
If you've are running low on LOCAL wine, stop by Paradocx Vineyard's stand. You can pre-order if you want to make sure you get what you want. Order information is in their section below.

 Artisans' Cafe
Rosemarie Holck
Artisans plans to be there for all the Winter Markets to help warm you up a bit while you shop. Along with our quiche & scones, we will bring our coffee, hot chocolate and hot cider! In addition, why not try something new for the New Year, sweeten your coffee by making it a "mocha" by adding our custom blended hot chocolate.
This week's featured One Village Coffee's coffee is Smart Blend which is the oldest coffee blend around-Mocha-Java. This coffee originated in Ethiopia, and left the port of Mocca towards Indonesia where it was mostly grown on the Isle of Java. The Smart Blend is a fresh look at this classic blend. A medium-dark roast makes this blend full-bodied. Special this week, if you purchase a bag of the Smart Blend coffee beans, you will receive 2 punches on your Coffee Club Card. We will also be bringing quiche & scones, house-blend coffee & hot chocolate. And don't forget to try something new, a blended "Mocha" . It's our house coffee with a splash of our custom blended hot chocolate. Great for this time of the year! Just in, Artisans own coffee mugs. It's a full 16 oz cup with our signature logo. It makes a great gift along with a bag of OVC.
Special for the Winter Markets.....if you purchase a 12 oz. bag of our featured coffee, you will receive 2 punches on your Coffee Club Card.

Recipes & Ideas
It was great to hear the radio story about KALE today on NPR! You can listen to it here and get the recipes that were featured. Kale is one of the most healthful vegetables and it is great to see it finally getting the attention it deserves. EAT MORE KALE!Here is an easy way to enjoy Kale with some of the great sausage available at the Market!Sausages with Kale and White Beans Ingredients
- 1 large bunch kale (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds)
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 pounds any farmers' market sausage of your choice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans
- 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
Directions
- Remove thick stems from kale and discard. Coarsely chop kale; wash and dry. Peel and thinly slice garlic.
- Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. With a fork, pierce sausages all over; place on a broilerproof rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While sausages are cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add kale, garlic, and 1/2 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cover skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, until kale is wilted and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and rinse beans; add to skillet along with vinegar.
