May 30, 2026

Well we were finally able to set sail after spending numerous hours restoring this classic old boat. I had a small part, all the credit is due to Al’s amazing skills and attention to details. I had the privilege to wake up every morning in Coral Bay, St John and spend every night being rocked to sleep by the wind and waves. This saturday will be our first market back for the 2026 season. A little paired down, at least initially, while we regain our footing in a new kitchen space with new faces to help prepare and sell the food. So bare with us as we may not have labels on all our products or there may be new people to answer various questions who are still learning the answers. What I can promise is that the same heart and love of cooking is going into the food. The same organic farmers still provide us with what we need to create a wonderful meal each and every saturday. I look forward to seeing you all again. The menu will be posted at market. Until then……

Saturday Market Menu for November 23, 2024

Today we bring you a pre-Thanksgiving feast. Our menu has expanded partly in celebration of our last market and a nod to the holiday we all plan to spend with family and friends. Tomorrow is a good time to pick up Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing, Peanut Lime Sauce and an array of our miso’s. These items will be taking their winter rest, so stock up now. Negotiations on business sale or product sale will continue once our season has ended. At the very least, a future cookbook will have many of these recipes included. Market hours are 10-2.

Saturday Market Menu for November 16, 2024

Tomorrow looks to be a beautiful day for a November market. Market hours are now 10-2. If you find yourself on the early side, as some customers did last saturday, take a stroll and witness how all the early risers gracefully spill into their market booths and bring a vibrant and robust market to life. All these vendors have spent a very busy week creating, harvesting or cooking their wares. Most have risen before dawn to load trucks and gather supplies for the day. Most have arrived a little sleepy but in good spirits, anxious to sell their wares. We all know how lucky we are to be part of this market. It’s a fabulous community of relationships, some lasting decades. So enjoy your stroll thru market tomorrow and relish the amazing community we live in.
