This Week

Our mild, pleasant November was a gift to the farmers, their reward for soldiering on through the cool, rainy summer.  Customers at the Brighton Winter Farmers’ Market will be the lucky beneficiaries of this good fortune, as the farmers are bringing an abundance of locally-grown produce rarely seen in upstate NY at this time of year.  Expect to find apples, broccoli, potatoes, winter squash, pumpkin, spinach, lettuce and salad mix, chard, kale, onions, garlic, celeriac, cauliflower, fresh herbs, radishes, green onions, kohlrabi, turnips, rutabaga, and carrots.  Milk, yogurt, cheese, eggs, and certified organic beef and pork will also be available.

Gift-giving this year can be local and delicious.  Our vendors are offering treats that would make great items for gift-baskets or thank-you gifts for a host.

Fine chocolates, a variety of hot sauces, baked goods, salsas, apple cider molasses, and fudge are tasty gift choices.  A bag of coffee and a couple packages of biscotti would be an obvious pairing, or a breakfast basket with pancake mix, a jar or two of jam, and some granola.  Another possibility would be a honey basket with a jar of regular honey plus  creamed honey,  handmade beeswax candles, and  honey lip balm.  Pasta lovers will find fresh ravioli, fresh cut pasta, and ready-made dishes.  Some vendors will have gift baskets already prepared, or you may prefer to select your own combinations.

Christmas Trees

There will be a great selection of Christmas trees, wreaths, swags, and boughs at the market this week.  Steve Aman of Aman’s Nursery in Newark grows his trees with no pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides, unlike many conventional growers.  Come to the market for the greenest tree ever!
