It’s Green Sunday again at the Long Season Winter Farmers’ Market, the perfect antidote to the excesses of Black Friday.  The only big boxes at this all-local market this Sunday, November 27, will be the ones farmers bring full of good food for us all.  It’s a good day to put what’s left of the turkey in a pot and add some fresh, local vegetables for a delicious, nourishing soup.

Honeyhill Farm returns this week with leeks, chard, collards, kohlrabi, turnips, garlic, and three varieties of gold-fleshed potatoes — Red Gold, German Butter Ball, and Purple Haze.  Fisher Hill Farm is bringing frozen corn, strawberries, beans, and rhubarb, crops from the farm frozen at peak freshness.  Bolton Farms will have a mix of lettuces, rainbow swiss chard, spinach, arugula, parsley, basil, cilantro, and watercress.  Allens Hill Farm is bringing free range eggs, new gingerbread and cut-out cookie mixes, and holiday gift boxes.  Flour City Pasta will have a variety of pastas including Pumpkin Chipotle pasta.  Bloomfield Honey Farm is bringing creamed honey with cinnamon and 10 new “flavors” of soap, excellent stocking stuffers.  There will also be beets, winter squash, potatoes, onions, carrots, field mix, apples, cabbage, baked goods,  certified organic meats, and lots more, including items that would be perfect holiday gifts.

The Long Season Winter Farmers’ Market is a collaboration between the Brighton and South Wedge Farmers’ Markets, sponsored by the Town of Brighton and the South Wedge Planning Committee.  The market is held Sunday afternoons, 1 to 4 pm, through December 18.  It meets in Brighton’s Brookside Recreation Center, 220 Idlewood Road, with a second entrance off  S. Winton, just south of the Westfall/S. Winton intersection.  See www.swfarmersmarket.org or “like” the South Wedge Farmers’ Market Facebook page.
