Hello everyone
Looking for a full and busy market this week after the weather scare last Saturday.
The hardworking folks at
Mainely Poultry
are facing a long and difficult road to recovery from the recent fire that wiped out their ducks and laying hens.
This Saturday, our vendors will be collecting donations to help them build some resources-you'll see collection jars at each table; please donate generously
; they have been with the market since it started and their eggs and other products are staples in many households. Thank you for your support.
Congratulations to
Malorrie Nadeau
of Bath, winner of the Common Ground Fair ticket raffle. This will be her first trip to the fair. Enjoy it all, Malorrie.
Happy shopping

From our vendors
Cast your vote for cow or goat cheese at
Appleton Creamery
-Caitlin is looking for input on her future production priorities! Pick up some awesome Granite Kiss wile you are there-ash coated and just ripe enough
Oyster Creek
had smashing black trumpets last week-especially nice on sole (a treat from
Pemaquid
) equally fine on your favorite pasta or rice dish or gilding the lily of a luscious steak from Springdale Farms.
Cinnamon, sugar and nutty crunch-the rugelach from
Beryl's
, a real treat for just $1.10, are truly inspiring. You will become a fan. Yes it's ok to buy 2

Rugelach from Beryl's for a quick epiphany
At
Kelley Brothers
, stock up on meaty short ribs,now on sale-great for winter stews. Tammy also has tri tip steak on sale. And there may be some firewood left...
Late corn at
Goranson, New
Roots and Hawkes
. This too is easy to freeze, and is a great resource for winter minestrone, or flash fried for quesadillas & tacos
Dry some of those mega bunches of herbs from
Tarbox,
the mint especially maintains it's vibrancy for winter teas,and salads.

Fresh jalapenos for salsa, or dry some, at Hawkes Farm
|
Chase Farm
has fresh mozzarella most weeks, fresh butter and raw milk too. Have a decadent need for lot
s of cream? order ahead and Robin will supply it: think frozen custard, whipping up for pies and crisps, most marvelous mushroom or tomato cream soups..
Larry at
Pleasant Pond
planned apples
last week
- Molly Delicious, Early Mac's, maybe one more. And, most special, PEARS, Clapps probably. But he didn't make it.So hopefully he'll have some tomorrow pray for those pears...See you there at 8:25...
Do not fail to try some of the glorious tomatoes flooding the market in a fresh sauce on the tomato pasta at
Alchimia-
it is not at all too much of a good thing-and at its best with tomatoes at their peak. Buy plenty to freeze-on a cookie sheet, like berries. Summer in winter, come January
