Time to bring out the hot chocolate & hot cider. Our hot chocolate is made with real milk and Ghirardelli chocolate. Add some to your morning coffee and make it a "mocha". Northstar Orchard will again this year provide us with their apple cider. Keeping with the season, our special of the week will be OVC "Harvest" blend. "Harvest" is an autumn blend, which is roasted a little bit differently each year to celebrate the changing of the seasons. This coffee gives homage to the varying hues of the leaves, the cooler weather and harvest time that Fall brings. It's like putting on your favorite flannel shirt. Like autumn in a mug this coffee is lush on the tongue with rustic notes of herbs, roasted nuts and a cocoa finish." - Woody, OVC Chief Roaster. In addition, we will have one of our seasonal soups, Butternut Squash or a creamy Curry Squash . Weekly Specials ....for breakfast or lunch, try our baked Quiche with fruit and add a 12 oz. Artisans House Coffee for $5.00. Breakfast scone + 12 oz. house coffee for $3.00 or sandwich wrap + beverage for $7.00.

Farmer Ike's Pick of the Week is: Winecrisp!
It is a complex, crunchy, sweet, and rock-hard apple with a fruity sweet flavor and a beautiful dusky red skin.
When we planted this new variety, it was simply known as Co-op 31 (the poor nameless thing). We only planted one tree, just to try it out. With the first apple, came our "Wow!"....so we planted a lot more of them. We couldn't let them remain nameless, however, so we dubbed them "Emperor" (we are challenged in the naming department, but that's what we came up with). A few years later, the breeder named them "Winecrisp", which of course is an infinitely better and much more appropriate name; why didn't we think of that?
Farmer Ike says of Winecrisp: "It is just a damned fine apple!" So try one (or three or more) this week, and see why!
We'll also have at market: Asian pears, lots of other apple varieties, and yummy fall veggies including that flavorful and photgenic Romanesco and our awesome carrots.
Saint Peters Bakery will offer the following items this week:
Soups:
Butternut Squash and Vegetable, made with locally grown Vegetables!

Hello Market Shoppers!
It looks like we will have a perfect fall day tomorrow. The air will be crisp and so will the apples, Asian pears and all of the fresh greens and vegetables. It's perfect weather for soups and roasted vegetables. Take a look at our recipes below.
This week we welcome a very special guest provider. Hanan Urick will be selling extra virgin, organic olive oil produced by small farmers in Palestine and bottled for Playgrounds for Palestine. She looks forward to telling shoppers about the work they are doing to give Palestinian children safe places to play. You can read about the project here.
It's the Second Saturday of the month and that means we will welcome artists! Be sure to take a stroll down the trail to look at their gorgeous creations.
And don't forget that you can come to the market for your morning cup of coffee at Artisans and stay for a hot lunch from the Sunflower Truck Stop.
See you at the Market!

Recipes
Roasted Radishes & Greens
from www.fortheloveoffoodblog.com
Roasting radishes brings out their sweetness, which is a wonderful complement to their natural spicy flavor.
Ingredients:
1 bunch radishes
2 teaspoons coconut oil or oil of your choice such as extra virgin olive oil or organic canola oil
Coarse sea salt and pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Separate 1 bunch radishes (halved if large) and their greens. Arrange on two rimmed baking sheets.
Toss radishes with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Season with coarse sea salt and pepper. Roast, until radishes are tender and caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
Toss greens with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Bake until leaves are crisp, about 7 - 8 minutes.
Combine the greens and radishes. Serve warm.
Roasted Carrot Soup
a "best carrot" recipe winner on FOOD52
Ingredients
6 to 8 large carrots (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt
6 cups vegetable stock (good quality, not too high in sodium)
1 piece ginger, an inch long, peeled
1 sprig thyme, plus more for garnish
1/2 large sweet onion
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Scrub carrots and cut into 1/2-inch rounds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Set an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler. Broil the carrots until they brown and soften, turning them over with a spatula every 5 minutes or so; this should take 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil, add the ginger and the sprig of thyme and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Put the onion in a medium stock pot with the remaining olive oil. Brown the onion over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, and then add the carrots.
Remove the ginger and thyme from the stock and add the stock to the pot with the onions and carrots. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are soft enough to puree.
Use an immersion or a standard blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add more stock or water and reheat gently. Add salt and pepper to taste. To serve, garnish with chopped fresh thyme.
