At the Market: Saturday, Oct. 6

Here’s a preview of what some of the vendors will be offering this week at the Saturday Farmers’ Market in the library lot in downtown Chelsea.

The market is open from 8 a.m.until noon.

veggies

King of Tarts will be bringing many more pear and apple tarts.  Michael will also create kiwi tarts and a combination plum, kiwi and pear tart.

Come see the beautiful array of fall items Danielle has for sale this week! She will have delicious winter squash, along with pumpkins, beautiful, decorative gourds, small and large straw bales, and much more. Ruhlig’s Produce will have a few vegetables to sell as well, such as: tomatoes, radishes, cauliflower, cabbage, mixed leaf lettuce, spinach, and kale.

Flying Dragon Arts brings many styles of bead earrings, necklaces and more.

Nancy Camden announces new colors for fall and winter.  At $23 each, a hand-dyed silk scarf makes a great gift as well as a classy touch to jazz up jeans or party clothes.

Come brave the chill for your warm baguettes.  Mention this e-mail and show up between 8 a.m. and 9:30 and get your baguette half price from Suzanne at La Baguette.

Need a little color on the front door? Or something to help you transition into the new season? Perhaps unusual and meaningful items for holiday gifting?

Fairview Studios will have seasonal door wreaths for welcome and protection, beautiful medicine wheels and rattles to set new intentions, heal-the-earth wreaths for a mindful harvest, critters and whee wheels to make you smile, and of course, smudge and fans to make the dailiness meaningful. Happy autumn from Joan.

From Back Forty Acres Stephanie suggests a soup bone (some the size of roasts) or a smoked pork hock.  Great base for a hearty fall soup.  Other beef and pork cuts as well.  And plenty of chicken, duck and turkey.  Remember, you don’t have to buy a whole duck or turkey if you don’t want to.  They have individually wrapped cuts.  Reminder:  Time to order the turkey for Thanksgiving.

Lots of sweet bread

Stone Hearth Breads & Bakery has artisan breads, all made from scratch without preservatives. For the sweet tooth there’s Apple Cinnamon, Cinnamon Raisin, Peach Pecan, Strawberry White Chocolate, Red Raspberry Dark Chocolate. Cookies too: molasses, chocolate chip, peanut button and Vermont krunchy cookies. Savory? Try Asiago Favo Bread (great with wine or dipping oils), Spinach Feta Cheese bread, 4-cheese pepperoni rolls and Ruben Rolls (2 per pack).

Myer’s Berry Farm will have new green and red pepper jam.  And more hot pepper jam too.

Mama Mo sends the following message:  “Mama Mo has finished the season with fond memories and much gratitude for all your support and appreciation. We will return next June to our wonderful Chelsea Farmers Market. In the meantime we will enjoy bumping into you as fellow customers. Peace and good food. The Mama Mo team.”

And as far as we know, we expect all of our season vendors except Mama Mo and Pap Tom’s Cajun Boiled Peanuts.

Kathy Kennedy, Farmer Market Intern, will have the 5 Healthy Towns Community Read book, “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan available. Be sure to pick up a copy to take home. Once you read it, sign it and pass it on to a neighbor or return it to the market. Together we can create a healthier community!
