Hello Market Shoppers!
This week we celebrate Second Saturday with artists and music by none other that the Joe Hillman Band who plays great bluegrass music. The rain is supposed to hold off until the afternoon, but we will be happy under the bridge rain or shine!
There is so much great food this weekend- Asian pears, apples and even apple cider! The farmers and artisan food producers have such variety that the farmers' market can become your main market. Be sure to check the offerings at each producer's stand- you might find a new favorite food that becomes a weekly must-have.
Our artists are bringing a nice selection of unique items crafted by hand.
Fall is a great time for planting and this week Sugarbush Nurseries will
bring a lovely selection of native plants. Be sure to check them out.
See you at the Market!

RecipeRoasted Red Pepper SoupThis is a great soup that captures the natural sweetness of the red peppers that are abundant at this time of the year. You can find photos of at Naturallyella.com
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 roasted red peppers, seeded and skinned
- 3 cups veggie broth
- 1/4 cup red lentils
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions - In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium. Add in onion, sauteing until becoming translucent. Stir in garlic and continue to cook for two more minutes. Remove roasted red peppers from the jar (or remove the skin if you roasted them yourself) and dice. Combine pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir into onions. Cook for two more minutes.
- Finally, pour in veggie broth and lentils. Lentils will absorb some of this broth so be sure to have a little extra broth on hand just in case you need to thin down the soup. Bring soup to a boil then reduce to simmer and let cook for 15-20 minutes or until the lentils have softened. Remove from heat and puree with an immersion blender.
- Dish into bowls and top with a little oil, feta, and croutons if you like.
