You need a big jug of apple cider to warm on the stove, spiced up with cinnamon sticks and cloves and ginger. You might not believe me, but served with a pat of butter floating on top, it’s extra warming.
Meet local blogger Gansie of Endless Simmer at the market this Saturday! Ask her about shopping at farmers’ markets in even the worst weather. Plenty of tents to hide out under, very grateful vendors, and come ask at the manager’s table for a spare heat pack for your gloves! Bring your own thermos of hot coffee and look around for something Irish to liven it up.
If it’s not too cold for accordionist fingers, your neighbors Rick and Mara of the Lamont Street Deluxe will play for us at 9am, then Pat Breslin at 11am. The Farmers’ Market Bike Clinic will still be on with Air, Oil, Advice, and More. They’re under a brand new tent with fancy walls!
Cherry Glen Goat Cheese Company: Beautiful goat cheeses – crotins, ricotta, chevre. Ash, Silver, and Chipotle are creamy and rich, Gold is like a wedge of firm brie, that I have to hide from my children. As I discovered in Alexandria last weekend, Cherry Glen cheeses are carried at all the fanciest fromageries.
