Have you heard? There is an exciting new Winter Farmers Market at the Amherst Middle School. The grand opening is this Saturday, December 4th . There will be an unbelievable selection of delicious local food. Over 25 farmers and food producers have joined together to offer everything from beautiful baby salad greens and bok choi to artisanal cheese, sweet and crunchy carrots, grass fed lamb, pork, and beef. The list is too big to fit on this page -- Apex Orchard’s famous apples (have you tried their Honey Crisp?!?). Sidehill Farm’s luscious yogurt. El Jardin’s sourdough breads fresh out of the oven. Atlas Farm, Stone Soup Farm, Red Fire Farm, and Simple Gifts will have their wonderful veggie selections. Winter Moon Roots with their carrots, beets, and psychedelic watermelon radishes. Bug Hill Farm's Black Currant Cordials.....And if it gets cold, Balky Farm has hats, gloves, and mittens knitted from their own sheep wool!
Because local food is always a cause for celebration, we are making it a festive event with free music from Darlingside. There will be prepared local delicacies served by the Turkish Kitchen, Tom Hidas's (formerly of Amber Waves restaurant) curried veggies, and the Black Sheep Deli. Live music too. Don’t miss it!!!
