Count down to Opening Day 2016!
Opening Day has snuck up on me this year! I’m thrilled that it is the time of year to shop and mingle with friends and neighbors at the market again.
On Thursday, May 26 we are excited to open the season with many new and returning friends:
- Allen Farm
- Martha’s Vineyard Smokehouse
- Moonlight Rose Farm
- Nobska Farms
- Olio Di Melli
- Pariah Dog
- Peachtree Circle Farm
- Silverbrook Farm
Here’s a quick idea of what to expect: Fresh greens, lettuces, green garlic, pea greens, asparagus, young carrots, radishes, and Peachtree Circle Farm’s rhubarb. Storage root crops, such as beets and potatoes. Farm eggs, fish, Massachusetts cheeses, including new flavors of Cloumage. Rooster’s Rocket Fuel™ Hot Sauce and more from Nobska Farms. Bread and baked goods, jams and jellies, local honey as well as maple syrup from Pariah Dog Farm. Vegetable starts for backyard growers, pots of kitchen herbs. Wholesome dog treats for your four-footed companions. Coffee, doughnuts, and wine from Westport Rivers Winery. And more.
For the 2016 season we will be focusing our theme on food waste — exploring ideas for reducing waste in the kitchen. It’s shocking the amount of food a typical US family throws away. Our local food, planted close to home, raised from seed by people we know, is beautiful. Let’s cherish it. Let’s make the most of it, every edible bit of it, from root to fruit.
