Cloudy, small chance of showers.

Temps get to the 60s by noon as the breeze picks up into double digits. Cool and seasonal with a small chance of showers early. So . . . October.

PIZZA FROM VILLA BARONE

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 and recently pizza 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.

FRESH RICOTTA FROM GREEN AISLE GROCERY

• Green Aisle Grocery
  —In addition to their usual array of pickles and preserved items, nut butters, mixers, and so much more, this week we’ve seen the preparations for fresh ricotta.
• Indogrow Farm
  —We usually see them every other week with their tender little shoots of incredibly flavorful microgreens. They were absent last week, supplying their new restaurant customers, so look for them back in their usual location this Saturday.
• Charlie’s Crepes
  —Charlie buys his sweet and savory ingredients (always a meat, always a fruit, always delicious) at the Market and whips up new concoctions every week.
• Duker T’s Catering
  — When the weather changes, Duker puts on the soup pot and blends in the local produce. Last week’s Cream of Crab sold out so fast he might have to bring it back again this week. Whatever it is, come early.
• Woof and Whiskers
  —Read the list of ingredients and you’ll understand this is a pet treat you could safely share with your dog (not that we’re saying you should). But if you’re tempted, the chicken and sweet potato biscuit is pretty tasty.
• Carnivore Corner
  —The meat-lover’s end is at full strength. Roger Byrom is bringing choice cuts of lamb from Headquarters Farm, Woods Edge Wools has been sending frozen yak. We’ve got the bison from Buck Wild Bison, and Nature’s Own Farm checks in with their own pastured pork, chicken, and beef. Look for lamb and alpaca pelt and wool garments too. It’s that time of year!
• Barn and Stone House Soap
  —Not just bar soap. Not just for cleansing. Stop by this attractive table and get yourself some laundry soap or handmade aromatherapy.
• Inspired Brews Kombucha
  —Nobody does a better job of patronizing local farms to flavor their fermented tea beverages than Inspired Brews. Bring your growler or ask for a sample pour.
• 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.

APPLESAUCE LOAF TO SHARE

Susan Mauer Lynch. Applesauce Loaf to Share.

We are so lucky to have two extraordinary orchards providing apple varieties to the Market. Add to that our fortuitous relationship with food blogger Susan Mauer Lynch who cherishes all our vendors, knows just what to do with her Jersey Fresh, and—most important!—loves to share what she knows. Susan bought her apples at Fruitwood Farms and Wm. Schober Sons, used them to make her own applesauce, then turned out this scrumptious cake. Best of all . . . she shares! Follow the link for the recipe.

Animal Welfare Agency of New Jersey (AWANJ)

The wonderful people of AWANJ will be staffing the Dog Tent for us this week, sharing remarkable stories of rescuing truly needy dogs from the brink of disaster at extreme expense. They’ll distribute the essential Official Market leash to your 4-legged companions and introduce you to adoption possibilities. We don’t make promises, but we’re hoping to meet Paul, a 2-and-a-half-year-old pointer mix who, with a bundle of energy, considers himself “the life of the party.” Come and meet the AWANJ team, and perhaps a new member of the family, at the Dog Tent.

EAST STAGE MUSIC TENT. Matinee Relics.  Small accordion, big guitar. Regina Baker and Kevin Sullivan are “two separate people who share one affection for old jazz music, standards, beautifully-written-but-decades-forgotten songs, and Manouche-style swing.” They’re also a heckuva good time . . . AND this is your last chance to catch their act at the Market this season. Don’t miss it.

WEST STAGE UNDER PATCO. Sam Caruso. Pop classics and sing-along favorite pop songs make every appearance by local legend Sam Caruso an event worth catching. You can’t say, “I’ll catch him next time” because next time will be 2019.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Forecast coming.

Our first truly dry Saturday morning in awhile arrives while to our south a storm is raging. Let’s all get out and support our Jersey Fresh while the sun is shining. There’s no telling what the rest of the fall will bring.

The official forecast from Weather.com

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. Can you identify the Revolution Bobbleheads from their figurines?

Villa Barone. Fresh breads from this Haddon Avenue Collingswood restaurant’s brick oven, sauces 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. Figs sold out early last week: expect them to have more on Saturday.

ALMOND FIG TOFFEE FROM MECHA ARTISAN CHOCOLATES

• Headquarters Farm Lamb
  — Roger will be back this week with choice cuts of lamb from his own Stockton NJ farm. Find him in the livestock section at the east end of the Market.
• Indogrow Farm
  — Indogrow has hit the local “big time” by landing the business of the brand-new Porch and Proper restaurant on Collings Avenue. If you can’t get a reservation, you can still get the town’s most popular microgreens at the Market on Saturday mornings.
• Our Souls Shine
  — Look for the return of Cindy’s gourmet applesauce. Stock up on back-to-school health and wellness in a jar packed with apples, carrots, kale, prunes and cinnamon. She’ll have samples of the sauce, and plenty of her own pindjur made from our own vendors’ eggplant and peppers.

Red Currant Tomato Galette

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.

MEXICAN VEGETABLE CORN CHOWDER

Denine Gorniak (The Bicycle-Chef). Mexican Corn Chowder. Denine uses fresh aromatic vegetables from the fall Market to turn water into deliciousness. The soup takes less than two hours to prepare, creates its own stock while cooking, and can be frozen to extend your Market season into winter. 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.

These things have a way of improving as we approach the opening cowbell, but for the moment, the forecast is for rain overnight Friday into Saturday, and a chance of showers throughout the morning. Wind picks up to 11 mph by noon, so be ready to weight your tents, just in case.

Pretty iffy.

It’ll start out muggy and possibly wet. If we get rain after 2am, look for your space numbers in green paint, not chalk. Scattered storms usually miss us for the most part, but there could be periods of rain through the morning. We’ll just need a bit of luck.

This week, she applies the mixture to chicken nuggets to create what she calls Garlic Knot Nuggets. She gets her garlic from Savoie Organic Farm, and her parsley (or cilantro) from Flaim Farms.

The flock is raised and finished on grass they freely graze on neighboring solar farms where they “do the landscaping” for hire. Susan dry-rubbed and slow-grilled her small leg of lamb to save you the trouble of experimenting. See her blog post for instructions on how to replicate her efforts.

Villa Barone. Giovanni (John) Barone will stand in for his father Guido this week, selling sauces, perhaps cheeses, the very popular zeppoles, and other Italian favorites from this popular Collingswood restaurant.

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.

PORK ROAST FROM HILLACRES PRIDE

Susan Mauer Lynch (YellowRoomUpstairs). Tribute to Hillacres Pride. Followers of YellowRoomUpstairs know how often Susan’s recipes and meals use meats and cheeses from Hillacres Pride, so it should come as no surprise that she describes Tom and Mandy as the farmers “who changed my eating life.” This post is must reading for anyone unaware of the wide range of products the Arrowsmiths bring to the table every week from Jersey cow farm in Peach Bottom PA.

Live Music on Two Stages!

EAST STAGE MUSIC TENT. John Rossi. Give him a microphone and a chair. John will bring his Martin guitar and his good humor and charm the crowd with familiar tunes to brighten everyone’s mood.

WEST STAGE UNDER PATCO. Matinee Relics.  Small accordion, big guitar. Regina Baker and Kevin Sullivan are “two separate people who share one affection for old jazz music, standards, beautifully-written-but-decades-forgotten songs, and Manouche-style swing.”

Small Bills and a Bathroom Key

Bring your own small bills for SAT AUG 18, please. David will be away.

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!

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.
