Hi yall! Hope everyone's doing wonderful. I'm all set for the Hotchkiss Saturday Market with a bushel of garden goodies for ya! I'll have the Lettuce at $5/bag, Mesclun at $6/bag, Jalapenos for $2/12oz bag, Cucumbers and Squash at $2/lb, Chiles and Eggplant at $3/lb, some great winter squash by size, Garlic at $1/bulb, Black Garlic at $5/jar, Potatoes at $3/2lb bag, and some other stuff I'm certain I forgot.
Too late in the season for a new item? Of course not! I was picking through the chiles I thought had been pretty nipped by the Beet Top Virus but they were strong enough to make some really nice Chilaca Chiles. These are a mild chile with a deep pronounced chile flavor, one of my favs and I'm certainly happy to see them make an appearance. I've also got a new clutch of sweet Ajvarski peppers, another fav of mine, excellent thick walled roasting pepper. I highly recommend both. $3/lb for Chilaca and $5/lb for Ajvarski.
Ill also be bring some Italian Oysters along with the Whites and Pohus, these are a very pretty mushroom with a dark brown top and a white gilling. Very tasty robust flavor too, I'm looking forward to having these all holiday season. $14/lb.
Swing on by the Creamery tomorrow from 10-1 and check out some great local wares from all the local vendors. Im thinking a freeze is coming, I'll be cleaning out everything I can get my hands on in the garden for next week so come get it all while you can. Hope to catch ya there!
