On August 21...

We'll have 11 vendors this Sunday including Just Buns, The Whole Cookie, Hudson Valley Pantry and grounded.coffee. They will be joining our regulars. Simply Sassy Sauces is on vacation this week dreaming up new recipes.

I'm singing in the rain....

As the rain kept falling throughout the morning Sunday kids in flip flops and rain boots had a good time in the puddles. The adults who braved the weather found all the goodies they were looking for, some on the trucks and some under the tents.

Our recipe this week is from a sample that Sassy Sauces treated us to on Sunday. Everyone who tried it knew they'd be making it very soon. Look at our recipe corner for the unique eggplant salad that can be used warmed up as a side dish or at room temperature as a salad for a barbeque.

Have you tried....

Jams By Kim will be returning this week with both sweet and savory homemade jams, and coffee will be brewing with grounded.coffee who also has brewed teas and sodas waiting for you.

Suggestions of delicious things to try if you have not....

• Yellow Watermelon from Von Thun - a delight on a hot afternoon
  
• Melick's beets so sweet on top of a salad or the different colors of cherry tomatoes -Mmm
• Acorn's Luna's Delight for a completely different taste of cheese - a surprise
• Baker's Bounty's round foccacia lightly grilled, cut like a pizza and served with any pasta dish or as an appetizer

It's August already...where's the summer going???

This week joining our basic seven we have:

• The Whole Cookie - If you haven't included your 4 pawed family member in your market shopping, this is the week to start. "Cookie" already has a devoted following though so shop early.
• Hudson Valley Pantry - Having overheard several people looking for products from Jonathan last week, he'll be well stocked this week with Jams, Salsas and B-b-que sauce this week.
• grounded.coffee - Melissa will be with us this week so be sure to get your wake up brew on the way in or your much needed iced beverage treat after shopping.
• Krakus Polish Deli - If you haven't taken a look at what Krakus has to offer, perhaps this is the day. Ask about their stuffed cabbage and kielbasy.
  

Pascack Press and Community Life....

An article about home gardeners donating produce to the Helping Hand Pantry in Hillsdale through its Ample Harvest campaign appeared in each of our local papers this week. Washington Twp Farmers Market was noted in each article as the only local farmers market donating fruit, vegetables and home baked goods. They also noted the weekly donations by our vendors, Von Thun Country Farm, Melick's Town Farm and Baker's Bounty and extended their thanks. These donations are greatly appreciated by those that receive them and we'd also like to thank you for supporting our market.

Last week, we also welcomed Jams by Kim. She prepared an assortment of jams, including some unusual flavors such as carrot & ginger.
