Food is the ingredient that binds us - and at no time is that more true than the holidays. Whether you're gathering 'round the table with family or getting together with friends, local food and drink brings a little more love to the occasion. Our vendors will be in the circle every Saturday for the next three weeks so you can eat well, and shop small for the foodies on your holiday list. We'll be featuring guest vendors throughout the month and welcoming Santa and the Little Brass Band on December 14th.
This Saturday, enjoy the Easton Main Street Cookie Crawl!
Stop by our INFO and Merchandise tent for Easton ornaments, and free gift wrapping on all EFM hoodies, cozy winter hats,soft long-sleeve tees and stylish market bags.

MARKET FRESH
WINTER COOKING
|
|
Cider-Dijon Pork Chops w/ Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Apples
From Epicurious.com
|
"Sautéing is another fast way to make a meal, especially when the pan juices are turned into a sweet and savory sauce, as they are here. This comforting dish features an array of autumn ingredients—apples, fennel, and sweet potatoes—roasted in the oven to caramelize lightly and bring their sugars to the forefront. The sauce, which mingles apple cider with the meaty browned bits in the skillet, is sharpened with a bit of Dijon mustard to balance the sweetness."
Market Shopping List
- Fennel - Salvaterra's Gardens
