If the word “drab” has come to mind over the past few mid-January days, visit the Long Season Winter Farmers’ Market this Sunday for some vivid colors to brighten your table. Bolton Farms‘ table will be bright green with lettuce mix bouquets, spring mix, kale, tatsoi, pea shoots, microgreens, cilantro, and basil. Fisher HIll Farm will have a variety of winter root vegetables, potatoes, winter squash, onions, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, frozen corn and strawberries, frozen half turkeys, half chickens, and Asian greens and bunched small beets from the high tunnel; also, leeks are back — Phil reports that he had to wait for the snow melt to find them.
Clearview Farm will have free-range organically fed eggs, shallot-like onions, dried herbs, dried hot peppers, and winter squash, plus turnips, golden beets, parsnips, daikon radish, black Spanish radishes, fennel, celeriac, and potatoes from nearby organic farms; Kurt may have greens, depending on how they fared in the snow. Bloomfield Honey joins us this week, offering sweet treats for your honey for Valentine’s Day. Lakestone Family Farm will have certified organic chickens, and Wohlschlegel’s Naples Maple Farm will be back with their full range of maple products to replenish stock used over the holidays.
Tripleberry Farm is bringing frozen blueberries from the summer harvest, plus new goat milk soap, pesticide-free berry jams, and brownies. Small World Bakery will have sourdough rye, sweet white miso, and almond hazelnut macaroons. There will also be poutine, baked goods, fresh and dried local pasta, cheese, a variety of baked goods, apples, and more.
Long Season Market Now Open All Year

Also at the Market
Dora Christian from Cornell Cooperative Extension will join us with a display on healthful eating; she’ll offer recipes using fresh winter vegetables from the market and information on upcoming nutrition events at the Cooperative Extension. The Brighton Food Cupboard will accept donations. You may bring hard-to-recycle items to the market. Grant Cos and Babek Elahi will perform.
