Christmas Decorations! Gifts! Cranberries!!

It's a potato-lover's paradise today, with Stokes's fabulous red-skinned potatoes, garlic, and rosemary for a great dish, Cherry Lane's lovely sweet potatoes, Paffenroth's extensive selection of many varieties and uses, and Mountain Sweet Berry's small European styles.  You'll be equally happy with the many types of gourds and squashes at S&SO, as well as pumpkins like the cheese pumpkins at Oak Grove or the unusual squashes at Hoeffner's stand.
BREEZY HILL CRANBERRIES

There are excellent gift ideas at Beth's Farm Kitchen, S&SO, and River Garden, as well as Stokes's tasty herb-flavored vinegar. Oak Grove and Eckerton both have bunches of hot peppers for gifts, and other stands have good ideas as well.
SEATUCK OYSTERS -- THEY'LL BE HERE ON MONDAYS AS WELL UNTIL NEW YEARS !!!

Cayuga is here with interesting pastas, but doesn't have their excellent breads today. Locust Grove, Caradonna, Breezy Hill, and others have apples. Breezy Hil has brought in hard cider and cherry liqueur (another gift idea) as well as apples, pears, and pastries.
CHERRY LANE SQUASHES
