Fresh spring radishes call your name at Tarbox. |

Bath Farmers Market March 27 2021 |

Good Morning,
Yes it is warmer, if not quite balmy. And remember to bring something warm for a few weeks, those breezes off the river are part of the fun.
This is our last indoor market until Fall. Off to Waterfront Park - just 126 steps north along the River- next week. Our summer vendors return gradually through June; we'll let you know as soon as we do.
We'll be open from 9 to 12 in April, switching to the 8:30 opening on May 1. The online store will continue through the summer. Orders will be available for pickup at CHASE FARM BAKERY.
Remember that the public bathrooms in the Park are not open yet; we'll keep you posted and hope for May.
A gentle reminder: our operating guidelines still include masks, low to no contact and proper distancing. If you choose to bring your dog, please keep this in mind. Now more than ever it is important that your pup be comfortable in crowds, leashed and well mannered. If he or she is easily spooked or very assertive, please have them wait in the car, or stroll another part of the park with a pal. It's just not a good place to socialize or train them to crowds: not everyone is comfortable with unknown animals.
We are seeing more spring greens every week, so keep an eye out. Some good deals on cheese right now, and our bakers are relentlessly creative and well versed in temptation!
Create a full moon festival in your kitchen!
cheers

From our vendors -Sales, Seasonal, Specials
Appleton still has a good batch of Brad's Betta Feta, on hand, right now. It's a pungent wonder, as a dip, a sandwich binder, even on pizza or a baked pasta.
Picked up a fresh jar of the Medium roast Ethiopian Coffee from Dan at Big Barn last week, It smells a good as it tastes, and altogether makes for a soothing and delicious experience.
Those meaty chicken carcasses for broth at Mainely Poultry are just $1.00 per pound. Do try their ground chicken - great for balls or burger - the grind is just right and lovely flavor!
|
Meaty chicken bones for super stocks and broths. Order ahead at Mainely Poultry |
Swedish Chowder spiked with Dill is one of those tasty treats ready for the taking at Pemaquid; a nice spring lift,
Spicy Greensand bright red radishes are back at Tarbox. Getting your vitamins was never so fun; we all need a little jolt at winter's end! Cut those radish greens right off and add to stews or layer into a bright spring lasagna.
Remember Robin at Chase Farm has Fresh Raw Milk; replete with flavor and cream, as well as butter and yogurt. The virtue of preorder is being sure, not just hopeful!

Products to soothe and support your skin from Mana Medicinals |
Gracies Garden is well stocked right now. Those fresh tasting veggies are a boon for spring menus as we lighten our menus: their crisp textures and clear colors make them excellent garnishes or sides.
A bargain at 2 for $5 are the buckwheat brownies at Hootenanny - large and good for 3-4 servings each, full of essence of chocolate flavor; pay attention while devouring slowly.
The brightly funky unicorn t shirts at Fuzzy Udder make great Easter Treats: roll one (or ore) up and have a "Find the T" hunt. Nibble on some just right Waldo Smog as you seek.

Spring candles, beeswax to cleanse and freshen after winter. And a clean burn. At Boite Natural
Mana Medicinals is back but may be away for a few more weeks soon. Anna has 4 items for skin health, repairing from the wrath of winter and coping with summer heat; chat with her about your particular needs.
Boite Natural has some sweet candles for clearing winter from your home. Fire up these Beeswax charmers, for a fresher brighter room.
Goranson is offering it's bright new Maple Syrup in a range of useful sizes. Try as a sub for sugar in baking and sauces-the light bright flavor and sweetness makes a nice change from sugar.
