 LAST OUTDOOR MARKET! JUST HEARD: Deeply Rooted Farms will NOT have strawberries this Saturday. The weather has not cooperated. This Saturday marks the end of our outdoor season, and heralds our return to our winter home at the Litchfield Community Center on October 20. You may be tired of hearing us talk about the impact of the weather on our farmers (probably as tired as you are of the weather itself!) but it has really impacted the availability of some of our favorites that we are accustomed to having at the market. Regretfully, dahlias are finished for the season as are many of the year end field tomatoes. So let's remember how much we enjoyed having them with us this long and look forward to next season. Let's also get creative about all the wonderful fruits and vegetables we DO have fresh from the field. If you're looking for new ways to winter them over, or recipes to enjoy them, ask your farmer or go to our website and search for an ingredient. Don't miss Wild Carrot Farm frozen tomatoes to make into fresh tasting recipes in the middle of the winter. Here's the information again on local turkey for the holidays. They will not last long. Percy Thomson Meadow Farm in Bethlehem has some available. Click here. Also, Ox Hollow Farm in Roxbury, with the farm stand on 202 in Bantam, has them. In either case, you should contact them soon since quantities are in limited supply. NOTE: We MOVE INDOORS to the Community Center next week, on October 20. Here's what's happening other than normal this week at market. Market Notes
Anna Gill is taking a well deserved break, so we decided to re-run her column from last week titled What's Poppin. If you didn't try her cauliflower recipe we highly recommend it. Different and tasty! . See you at the market Saturday, outdoors at Center School parking lot. Sustainable Tip of the WeekAs we approach the holiday season, here are a few sustainably oriented ideas for gift giving from The Minimalist Vegan. Save gift bags and boxes for future use and think about giving people experiences instead of things. There are lots more, but we thought we might get you thinking ahead of time about it.
