As our regular season winds down and we prepare for holiday gatherings with family, we're reminded of the family we share here at the Easton Farmers' Market. Our shoppers, our volunteers, our farmers, bakers and makers, the musicians who share our stage, and the sponsors who support us. We're so very thankful for all of you. And grateful to be part of a community committed to local food. We look forward to seeing you this Saturday, and wish you and yours a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving.

And remember, we're off on Saturday 11/27, but will return to the riverfront on Saturday December 4th when Santa will join us from 10am - Noon.

"This recipe ticks all the boxes—a little meaty, some dark leafy greens, and some starchy goodness. An easy one-pan sausage, kale and potato skillet that pleases everyone, from cook to clean-up crew."
