Cayuga will only be in Union Square, Grand Army Plaza, and one other market on Saturdays!!

It's like any other addiction -- it's tough to break my midweek ale bread habit now that Cayuga is only available on Saturdays! The Finnish Ruis black bread is terrific and Hot Bread Kitchen and others are here on Fridays, too, but I'm missing that bread, flour, bean selection, and grain selection from Cayuga.

There were many stands here today, and they'll be here next Friday when I'll be gone for the weekend, so here's some of who's here -- Bodhitree's produce, Pura Vida's beautiful winter fishes (herrings, monkfish, mackerel and others), Divine Brine's pickles, Beth's jams and chutneys, Flying Pig's pork cuts and sausages, Queens Farm Museum with greens and wools, and Sun Fed Beef.
