Collingswood SAT SEP 29

Another Lovely Fall Saturday.

Low 70s, mostly sunny, and dry. Sounds like autumn produce-shopping weather. Let’s all get out and support our Jersey Fresh farmers while the crops are in.

CITRUS FROM SARA’S PRODUCE

REVELATION CAFÉ! Local food heroes Revolution Roasters and the Constellation Collective have teamed up to form a new food-and-beverage café at the west end of the Market. Pull up a chair in their seating area and enjoy locally-roasted coffee and breakfast treats.

Villa Barone. Fresh breads from this Haddon Avenue Collingswood restaurant’s brick oven, sauces and prepared items from the kitchen, and the very popular zeppoles make this a must-visit table.

Sara’s Produce, by special arrangement, is the one source for produce NOT grown in New Jersey. They are mandated to bring us the “exotics” so our shoppers won’t need to go to the supermarket for an avocado or a lemon.

Roger Byrom

  • Blueberry Fields Artisan Soap
    —We host one soap maker each week, compared to 24 farms every season. This week Carol Steinhauser (scientist by day, mad soap-scientist by night) brings her beautiful and practical craft to the east end of the Market, by Perkins.
  • Our Souls Shine
    — Cindy and Vera will be back this week and most weeks until Thanksgiving with Cindy’s gourmet applesauce (from Schober Sons apples!), honey-sweetened lemonade and Cindy’s pindjur made from our own vendors’ eggplant and peppers.
  • Neil’s Knife Sharpening Service. He’s here just once a month (always on the last Saturday). Anybody planning to cut (or carve!) a fall squash or pumpkin will want to bring your blunt instruments to the Market this week for a new edge. Lawn and garden tools too! Bring your blade or chain, but leave the mower and the chainsaw at home.

Tasty Temptations

SAT SEP 22

Tasty Temptations. Our intrepid—and anonymous—Market shopper was at it again on SAT SEP 22, strolling, eyeing, acquiring, and lugging the awesome bounty of a Jersey Fresh fall. As she does almost every week, TT photographed her purchases (everything from coffee and biscuits to bratwurst, chicken, garlic, and nectarines) and then spent Sunday prepping meals from all her fabulous “Saturday Market Finds.” We’ve got the photos to prove it and a single click (or two, or three) will get you there.

Small Bills and a Bathroom Key

Many of you know, but for those of you who don’t, I carry small bills for vendors who run out of singles during the Market day. For guest vendors who might not be aware, I also have a key to Perkins Art Center, a Market sponsor, the primary benefit of which, for our vendors is INDOOR PLUMBING!

Man holding tiny dollar bills


VENDOR PARKING PERMITS

It’s good business to save the best parking spaces for SHOPPERS! Most visitors will tell you it’s tough to find parking at the Market. We make things worse by parking our own vehicles in spaces that could be used and re-used many times by shoppers. Please encourage your table crew to park for free in the Lumberyard Parking Garage (just across Collings Avenue from the west entrance). There are plenty of spaces inside, and the walk back to the Market takes 3 minutes.


Flexible Site Plan

Changes will continue to occur throughout the season as vendors come and go and as we learn more about how neighbors interact. I remind you no spaces are ever guaranteed and require your cooperation if I have to move your location any given week.

CARAMEL NECTARINE TART

Lisa Grant (Jersey Girl Cooks). Caramel Nectarine Tart. Nectarines from Wm. Schober Sons Orchards take center stage in this simple but delicious production. A wonderful combination of caramel sauce with sliced nectarines in a flaky puff pastry. This year’s nectarines are sweet and juicy. You can’t eat one without juice dripping down your chin . . . unless you bake it into a tart. This tart is company- worthy, but you can bake it in under 30 minutes. Follow the link to Lisa’s blog to see how many steps you can skip and still produce this beautiful dessert using only 3 ingredients.

RED CURRANT TOMATO GALETTE

Stef Perna (treatbelly). Red Currant Tomato Galette. Stef has a keen eye for new produce she can turn into food art. When Les Viereck debuted his baskets of very tiny tomatoes, they piqued her interest, but it was weeks before she developed her recipe for red currant tomato galettes. The tomatoes are sweet-tart and intensely flavorful (and contain 4 times the vitamin C of other tomatoes!). Nutrition aside, these little beauties make a unique and sensational presentation in their folded crusts. Follow the link to Stef’s blog for the recipe and more amazing photos.

Hot sauce, cilantro, lime, and cumin give it a Mexican kick. This versatile soup can be fat-free, vegan, or enhanced with chicken, tofu, or cream. You’ll love preparing it in a pressure cooker if you have one, or in a stock pot on the stove. Wonderful photos and complete instructions at TheBicycle-Chef.
