Hello Neighbors, Friends and Market Supporters,

Here we are! We've arrived at the last market for the 2014 season. We are grateful to everyone who came to the market and visited, purchased and encouraged our efforts. We struggled early in the season with uncooperative weather, but our persistence paid off, we we've been grateful for excellent weather for the latter half of the market season.

You'll find us this Wednesday, October 1st at the Moretown School from 4:30 to about 6:30pm.

This week, Jenna, Karen and I will be there and look forward to seeing you there. Jenna will have her delicious produce, herbs and beautiful flowers. Karen will have her yummy Mountain Woman and Mountain Man bars, eggs and herbs. Karen mentioned that Peacock Pastures will join us for our last market with their humanely raised, pastured poultry and beef. I'll have fermented veggies, kombucha, berry syrups and be holding two, free kefir making tutorials. For fermented veggies, I have Spicy Kimchi and Celtic Kraut by the pint, Curried Kraut, Saida's Kimchi and Half-Sour Pickles by the pint and quart. On kombucha, I'll have two 16-ounce bottles of black currant kombucha and Kombucha Starter Kits. I've got blackberry-lemon balm syrup and black currant syrup in half pint jars.

At 5:00pm and 6:00pm, I'll be holding two kefir making tutorials. In it, I'll demonstrate the steps in making kefir, ways to determining that it is ready and suggest flavoring strategies. I'll have some kefir available to sample and kefir grains available as well. Please contact me in advance if you have any questions about the tutorial or if you'd like to get some kefir grains at the market. Kefir making is easy and economical, so if you are interested in learning more about it, I hope you'll come by the market on Wednesday.

We are planning to continue the market next year and hoping more vendors will join us, especially folks interested in making prepared food. We had a lively market the day that Matt Sargent, the Phantom Diner, made a surprise appearance, and it would be great if we had a consistent vendor or two who filled this role. Please contact me, Jenna or Karen if you would like to learn more about being a market vendor in 2015. In the meantime, come see us at the market this week if you can. We'll be glad to have you there.

Be well,
Beki Auclair
