Hello Market Shoppers!

The weather will beautiful for the last market in October this coming Saturday, October 25th! 

We will have a very special cooking demo on stage at 9am when Andrew Deery chef/owner of Majolica will share his knowledge and passion for food with us.  He'll talk about sourcing food locally, plating dishes and then he'll cook up dishes to taste using farmers' market vegetables, fruits and cheeses.  Plan to come and learn before you shop!  There will also be a free raffle for a $25 gift certificate for Majolica for all attendees of the demo.  You can just show up, but you can also sign up here.

   

Of course our farmers and artisan food producers will have loads of seasonal specials- chai tea, mulling spices, pumpkins, maple walnut gelato, heirloom apples, sweet fall carrots, and much more!

 

This is the week that Neil's Sharpening comes to the market so bring those dull knives and have them made like new while you shop or watch the demo!

 

Blanko Dave will entertain us on stage after the cooking demo.  Be sure to grab a chair to listen!

 

See you at the Market!

      

Anita's Guacamole

Artisan's Gallery & Cafe
With the fall like weather this weekend, we will bring Hot Cider (Northstar's Farm Apple blend)!  But for those who still prefer the cold beverages, I will bring our iced coffee, tea & lemonade just in case.   This month's decaf flavor is a "Mexico Decaf". Brewed in a cup are flavors of almond and toasted grains, reminiscent of warm rye and multigrain bread. Subtle hints of cracked pepper and licorice waft over a strong, anchoring chocolaty sweetness.  Roast Level Medium.  One Village 12 oz. bags of coffee beans  $12.75 each.  Buy 6 bags of any blend and get a bag free.

The time has come, anxious prospectors: it's now time to stake your claim in the 2014 Gold Rush Rush! Check here  for complete info and to pre-order your stash of the best apples on the planet!

Meanwhile, at the market: no Gold Rush apples yet (they're still getting ripe!), but we'll have plenty of other amazing delights including those favorites Winecrisp, Florina, Sugar Snap, and Gold Russet (just to mention a few). Two kinds of Asian pears, plus cider wrap up the fruit end of things.
