Looking to give a gift and give back at the same time? We have three wonderful organizations joining us this week. All our offering handcrafted items to support the important work they do. Mayamam Weavers offers exquisite handwoven 100% cotton home goods, apparel and more - all created by the Maya women's cooperative in Guatemala. The Sharing Foundation, is a non-profit group dedicated to helping orphaned and disadvantaged children in Cambodia. At their sewing center in the Roteang Villlage, they hire local women to make school uniforms for local school children, and also hundreds of craft, mainly women's handbags which are brought to the United States. The products are sold to sustain the program, providing fair wages for the seamstresses and enabling them to remain their homes. 100% of the sale of all merchandise is returned to the organization. Lastly, House with Heart, is a charity that provides a home for abandoned children, an education center for impoverished women and children, and an outreach program for needy families in Kathmandu, Nepal. They offer lovely scarves and felted toys and ornaments with all proceeds going to support the work they do.

We welcome the winding down of the year, the turning inwards to naps under cozy blankets, waiting for the first snowflakes, and thinking about nourishing foods that warm from the inside. Just. Like. Pie.

This week, look for Beef Bourguignon Pot Pies, Quiches, Cock-a-Leekie Pot Pies, along with Coconut Cream Pies, Marlborough Apple Pies, Hand Pies, Turnovers, and tasty slices. See you down by river, all bundled up! - Anne

The wait is over. Ancient Oat bread, made with Einkorn, returns to the EFM this weekend. This healthy, hearty bread is the perfect complement to a hot bowl of soup or stew.

Make sure you make your way to our tent this weekend and prep for the upcoming Christmas Season! Buy your strudels now and thank us later! Keep your strudels in your freezer until you're ready to bake them. They make great breakfast dishes for the family in town and stay over and are perfect for a homemade dessert without the homemade mess. You can also use them for appetizers or they make for a delicious side dish!

Brr, it's cold out there. RVCG has bunches of beans for warming winter soups and chili. They also have a bounty of barleys for hearty casseroles and the best beef or chicken barley sioup ever.

They make great grits or polenta too! Check out the ready made “Breakfast Basket” that includes a bag of rolled oats, pancake mix, granola and hickory syrup. Great gift for the holidays all with shelf stable products!

I have plans on being at market for the next three Saturdays but as everyone knows if rain or snow is falling it is not good for my soaps or me. If you are looking for stocking stuffers or something to finish off that gift for someone special, I have some goodies for you. A bar of soap, lip balms, a bath fizzy or a bottle of their favorite spritz make great stocking stuffers. I also have my holiday wrapped soaps and a few holiday soap bundles left. - Susan

You can't win if you don't buy a ticket. And it only takes one ticket to walk away with a 6-string Acoustic-electric Martin guitar with spruce top, Koa fine veneer back and sides, select hardwood neck, and ebony fingerboard – natural. It also includes a beautiful soft case.

We are grateful to everyone at Martin Guitar for supporting our music programs and the local musicians who perform. Your ticket purchase will help fund our 2024 music program at the Easton Farmers' Market and West Ward Market. Purchase ONLINE now, or at the Market Merchandise Tent.
