We will be at market tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed your dinner out on the deck as we did tonight watching the sunlight slowly wane.

For those of you holding any doubt that we are attending market this year I’m here to set the record straight. We will be at market tomorrow with all our usual treats! Peanut Lime Noodles, Corn Fritters, Macro Platter and an array of desserts. The menu has gone through a couple of changes as the weather sorted itself out. Even though the temperatures will sore into summer time temperatures, we are holding steady at providing a menu that speaks of spring with hints of the summer energies starting to emerge. It’s always to be good to be fluid with what life has to offer. Bending like the willow with while strongly rooted as an oak. Changes to this years menu. We will be offering a salad bowl with beautiful organic greens from Remembrance Farm with local seasonal veggies. If you would like a little salad in your platter please let us know. There will be a $2.00 bump in price. For those wanting a dollop of noodles on your platter we are happy to oblige with a $2.00 increase. With price increases everywhere we still want to try to provide a nourishing meal affordably. We look forward to seeing you all again. It’s been too long!

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……

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.

In honor of Day of the Dead, a spiritual holiday originating from the central Mexican culture , we will be serving a south of the border style meal. Our red beans w/fire roasted tomatillos from Stick N Stone, Roasted sweet potatoes from Plowbreak Farms, Mushroom Tamales from Wellspring Farms, Kingtown Cider braised red chard with cinnamon from Plowbreak and our fresh farm salad from Remembrance Farms. Our sweets come from the Black Diamond Orchards, Perry City Orchards and Farmer Ground. Everything is as farm fresh as we can get it. Consider each meal that you purchase from us hasn’t traveled half way round the country to get here. In fact most of it was grown within 10 miles of our kitchen. Our squash soup also comes from the abundant Plowbreak Farm fields, miso soup is made from our own miso and fermented from the koji we inoculate in the kitchen. Our talented cooks, Sarah Deljoo, Rachel Williams and Erika Coquehuanca bless each meal with their exquisite palate. As many of you already know, this will be our last year at The Ithaca Farmers Market. In fact this is our last month. Our final market will be on November 23rd. The saturday prior to Thanksgiving. We plan to make our last market a celebration, Thanksgiving style. Menu forthcoming.

Tomorrow the market will open at 10 and close at 2. So everyone sleep in a little, as will we, and bring your appetites 1 hour later. Let your friends know so they don’t hustle themselves to the market too early to beat the crowds.
