Good morning
We bring you the rest of our vendors this week-all ready to give you their best! So stop and -let them know what you love, what you would like to see-and even what does not excite you. And please, always feel free to ask what it is, why it's different, how to serve/use it..
This is weather for easy to cook, low heat food So many summer vegetables can be eaten rawi, or lightly steamed - thank you microwave. and just about any go into a salad-try melon chunks with feta and chilis, or radish, scallions or cold little boiled potatoes. Some of the softer goat cheeses melt right in to make a creamy natural dressing. Toss in the berries du jour. So easy. And remember, many of our vendors have ready to eat food, a special focus this week.
|
Mohammed of New Roots brings in fragrant herbs and elegant brassicas, just to start
|
From our vendors-specials, s
ales, seasonal
Maine Saltwater
has an inventive array of soups, many vegan and gluten free. And premade fish and shellfish cakes as well. Or heat up their ready to go meatballs and serve with some salad and a good crusty slice from
Borealis
, perhaps a ficelle to dip in the gravy?.
At
Pine Tree Poultry
, check out the fresh meaty turkey salad-ready for lettuce, chopped radishes and tomatoes. Their empanadas also cook up very quickly in a fry pan or you can use the microwave.
Goranson Farm
has watermelon radishes to gussy up any salad plate, lovely cabbages for fresh slaws, and little potatoes to make a cheerful tri colored potato salad-add capers, lemon juice, chopped parsley some tangy mustard and olive oil after boiling (also can be
done in microwave).

Preserved veggies save the day in hot weather. And we have 2 great sources.
Old Narrow Gauge
offers freshly spiced and ready to eat vegetables of the season-crunchy and delicious. Still some fruit sauces left as well. And Amy's foraged fruit and flower syrups are so refreshing mixed with selzer and lots of ice as you chug chug your way thru the day.
At
Gracies Garden
, Mark offers lactofermented veggies to simply open and spoon out. His judicious use of herbs & spices only enhances their fresh colour and taste. And try some of the kvass, alone or with sparkling water, to brighten your day as well.
Mainely Poultry
has a nice supply of their ready to go smoked chicken. Tear wildly from the bone, or slice daintily onto a slice of whole grain sourdough from Hootenanny. Add some of the tangy cranberry sauce from
Sparrow
-it's also nice in a cold heap to eat by the forkful.
|
Joe happily purveys all things good and good for you at Hootenanny
|
At
Pemaquid Lobster & Seafood
, stop and read the boards. Ready to serve lobster mac 'n cheese, chowders and bisques, smoked fish pates, cold oysters, some days smoked salmon, crab and haddock cakes- all ready for quick and easy prep-and made by Tom and Tracey with care.
Cheese of course is a smashing protein . Show case your choice of bread sliced thin or thick, and any summer vegetable you love and savor every bite. Try some classic City of Ships or sort of dry creamy Chamberlain from
Hahns End.
At
Appleton Creamery
Dulsea from the sea is good with a bagel or bialy from ootenanny; also try the Labneh-and it's cream striped olive oil on fresh crackers-or your bread of choice. And
Fuzzy Udder
is expected back, so look out for all those fine rounds...
Angela

|
At
Chase Farm

Pine Tree

Mainely Poultry
have chicken and turkey pies for those who love their traditions, too,.
