The Last Cardoons! Crosnes! Buzzard Crest's Grapes!

Buzzard Crest is here with grapes and grape juices. Paffenroth and S&SO have an excellent variety of produce and Stokes Farm and Oak Grove still have pretty good heirloom tomatoes. Stokes has potted lettuces, various cucumbers, and generous mixed bunches of herbs. This is the last day for Eckerton's cardoons. (They may not be here next Saturday.) They also have delicious seasoning and other peppers. Stokes and others have good looking pumpkins, but there are many fewer, so if you have pie or soup plans for Thanksgiving, you should pick up your pumpkin today!

Order your Thanksgiving turkey from Quattro's or an organic turkey from Norwich Farm (last day to order from Norwich is this Monday). Norwich will be bringing in orders on the Monday before Thanksgiving but will not be here that Wednesday. Beth's Jam has an assortment of cranberry options for the holiday, including sauce, chutney, and mixed fruit jams. Mountain Sweet Berry is here today with their delicious tiny potatoes and crosnes and will be here the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

I bought a bag of Rocambole garlic from Keith today. They would make a good gift for Thanksgiving or Christmas -- plain and delicious.

I'm having one of Oak Grove's pies for breakfast (the small size), and it's delicious. You can order a "Betty's Pumpkin Pie" or a "Susan's Apple Crumb Pie" until November 21 (next Saturday) for Wednesday, November 25's market. Telephone 908-782-9618. The large size is $12.75.
