So last week we arrived once again at the Meredith farmer's market after a whole afternoon of rolling over the back roads and getting lost in the fields of Sanborton.
~We picked up little yellow plums, sour and yet mellow in taste.
~Two large homemade dill pickles.
~Fresh ice cream from the Guernsey cows in New Hampton. Wowza!
~Oh! And actual maple sugar. Not candies, not lolipops, just plain-olde sugar. I am so excited about this, like you don't even know.
~And we also got a tub of Guernsey chevre!
I would just like to report that this is the cutest farmer's market ever. The creamery always has milk, cheese, and yogurt available, as well as her ice cream recipe. :) Yum!
And for those of you looking for a northern, local alternative to sugar cane, I've got your answer. Obviously, there are several options: Honey, Sorgum (and it's ilk), or Maple Sugar.
Now, in my search I have never found a place that sold looks-like-sugar-maple-sugar. I was advised, by the maple-selling gentleman, that the best place to get large quantaties of this is to visit a sugar house in the spring. Local and sustainable, imagine that! :)
Also at the market were: eggplant, summer squash, several breeds of garlic, peaches, nectarines, meats, goat milk soap, flowers, herb plants, and mustard!
xoxoxo,

ps. I love discovering tiny markets where you can actually buy everything you need to survive.
