Brighton Winter Farmers’ Market

Tuesday, 4-7 pm

1900 Westfall Road

in Atonement Lutheran Church

through December 22

This Week

Our mild, pleasant November was a gift to the farmers, their reward for soldiering on through the cool, rainy summer.  Customers at the Brighton Winter Farmers’ Market will be the lucky beneficiaries of this good fortune, as the farmers are bringing an abundance of locally-grown produce rarely seen in upstate NY at this time of year.  Expect to find apples, broccoli, potatoes, winter squash, pumpkin, spinach, lettuce and salad mix, chard, kale, onions, garlic, celeriac, cauliflower, fresh herbs, radishes, green onions, kohlrabi, turnips, rutabaga, and carrots.  Milk, yogurt, cheese, eggs, and certified organic beef and pork will also be available.

Gift-giving this year can be local and delicious.  Our vendors are offering treats that would make great items for gift-baskets or thank-you gifts for a host. Fine chocolates, a variety of hot sauces, baked goods, salsas and relishes, apple cider molasses, and fudge are tasty gift choices.  A bag of coffee and a couple packages of biscotti would be an obvious pairing, or a breakfast basket with pancake mix, a jar or two of jam, and some granola.  Another possibility would be a honey basket with a jar of regular honey plus creamed honey, handmade beeswax candles, and  honey lip balm.  Pasta lovers will find fresh ravioli, fresh cut pasta, and ready-made dishes.  Some vendors will have gift baskets already prepared, or you may prefer to select your own combinations.

Christmas Trees

There will be a great selection of Christmas trees, wreaths, swags, and boughs at the market this week.  Steve Aman of Aman’s Nursery in Newark grows his trees with no pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides, unlike many conventional growers.  Come to the market for the greenest tree ever!

For more information, visit www.brightonfarmersmarket.org.  The Brighton Winter Farmers’ Market is sponsored by the Town of Brighton.

MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT THE WINTER MARKET…

Last year we introduced the Long Season Farmers’ Market, a joint project between the SWFM and the Brighton Farmers’ Market.  This year it  has become the Brighton Winter Farmers’ Market, to be supported by the Town if Brighton and run by the BFM management.  The Brighton Winter Farmers’ Market will begin on Tuesday, November 10, and will be held every Tuesday through December 22. The market will be held indoors at the Atonement Lutheran Church, 1900 Westfall Road, from 4 to 7 pm. Thanks to all whose support for local, sustainable food has encouraged our farmers to expand their offerings to include an abundance of late season crops.

Embrace the late season treats, stock up on the good food still coming in from the fields, and hold out on in-house hibernation for as long as you can!  Join your friends and neighbors at your neighborhood market.

See you at there!
