Without question, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. It’s a time when those who are closest come together for a true sharing of the spirit.

We celebrate with family and friends, those who are often closest to us.

With the feast as a focus, why not let our “family,” the family of North Market merchants, make your Thanksgiving the best ever?

Jen and Collin at The Barrel and Bottle have the perfect craft beers and holiday wines.

Annemarie and Jerry at North Market Poultry and Game offer fresh free-range turkey, the best ever.

Cindy and Ben at North Market Spices have a wide array of special seasonings and a brining blend that can take your meal to the next level.

Colleen and Michael at The Greener Grocer offer fresh, local produce for the greatest complementary side dishes.

A Note From Dave ~ October 2011

While other Farmers’ Markets in town are beginning to wind down, we’re still going strong. And this recent spate of warm weather has provided an extra boost to our growers.

Pumpkin boxes. Photo copyright Chris Graham 2007. All rights reserved.This season started a little late with a cool and rainy Spring, but as the summer has progressed growing conditions have been ideal. So, don’t be surprised when you see some customarily summer produce along with the more traditional Fall offerings.

Additionally, as we don’t have an established end date for our Farmers’ Market, this season you can most likely expect freshly picked produce late into October and possibly into November.

As the holiday season approaches it’s time to start thinking about those special occasions and festive gatherings. It’s never too early to start planning and “shopping” the Market for creative ideas. Every year, we’re the focal point for the finest and freshest local ingredients. This year will be no different.

Every merchant in every corner of our Market offers something to make your holidays special. From fresh, free range turkey, to unique cheeses and specialty baked goods, North Market should be on your holiday shopping list.

Jen and Collin. Photo copyright Ken Heigel 2010.This season we have some newer merchants that can make your holiday planning even more special. Jen and Collin at The Barrel and Bottle have a tremendous selection of craft beers and wines. Seasonal craft beers are hotter than ever and The Barrel and Bottle are specialists in this area. Cindy and Ben at North Market Spices have created a shop that has become a trusted source for local restaurant chefs and adventuresome foodies, as well. They have a complete selection of conventional and unusual seasonings that are served up with a large helping of expert advice. Jeni’s, of course, will have their seasonal flavors and a best-selling cookbook for holiday giving.

As we move from season to season, the Market is always in style. That’s what happens when you focus on fresh, local and seasonal tastes.

It’s never too early to start thinking about the holidays and at North Market we always make them special.

Hope to see you at the Market,

Dave Wible
