BULLETIN!!! The Greenmarket will be moving South for the winter, to 14th Street, while construction (and re-construction to fix things that were missed) goes on on the North end. The first market day down on 14th will be January 5, Monday, according to the word I got from one of the farmers.

It's a smallish market for a Saturday, but there are many orchards and other stands and it is well worth the visit.

Happy Holidays!

As damp and unpleasant as it is out there, you can still get your Christmas meats from Tamarack, DiPaolo, and Three Corner Field Farm, your eggnog and other dairy products from Ronnybrook, your vegetables from Stokes, S&SO, and others, and your roses and TULIPS from Flora Perfecta. If you're still looking for gifts, before you go to the Christmas market check out Beth's beautifully wrapped jams, chutneys, and pickled vegetables.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
