This Saturday, the Holiday Festival Market, is the final market before we return on January 9th, 2010. This will be your last chance to purchase your Holiday ham, lamb and other meats. If you have never had pastured meat and are a bit hesitant come see Jennifer Downing of Nourish do a cooking demo with free-range ham.
We guarantee it will be one of the best hams you ever tasted. Winter market and vegetables? Yes! –and plenty of them. Tables overflowing with fresh, locally grown vegetables from the traditional root crops to tender leaf greens, salad mix and micro greens. You’ll have to see it to believe it. Homemade fresh baked goods with seasonal flavors; Holiday spice pound cake, honey pecan rolls, French baguettes and other breads, spiced pecans and almonds.
Wine Time (http://winetimegenevail.com) of Geneva will be sampling wines. The temperature may be cold and dreary outdoors but at the Community Winter Market it’s cozy and alive. There is too much to list it all. So if you haven’t been by the Community Winter Market yet, stop on by and say hello.
Still at a loss with what to get the foodie people in your life, dedicated environmentalist, or finding just the right something to help someone who doesn’t know, or isn’t sure, how and where they can eat more locally and get product.
