Hingham Farmer's Market and more...

We'll be at the Hingham Farmer's Market, located on Route 3A at the bathing beach, on October 20 and possibly on October 27. We will not be there after October. The market still runs from 10-2 every Saturday up until November 17.

We will be doing the Marshfield Winter Market starting in November. The market will run the 3rd Saturday of every month from November until May and the times are from 10-2. The market will be held inside under the grandstands. We will be participating for the following months: December, January, March, and May.

We have sent in our application to be part of the Harvest Festival held on the Plymouth Waterfront on November 18. This is part of the American Hometown Celebration which kicks off on Saturday with the Thanksgiving Parade and the New England Food Festival. We'll let you know if our application was accepted. If it is, we will have cookies, sweet breads, pies and other delicious treats for you.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!

The summer sure has been a beautiful one but it has gone by way too fast. As we prepare to do the last official market of the summer, I'm thinking ahead to the fall and all that it will bring. Bob will be doing the markets in Cohasset the month of September and October. Both of us will still be doing the Carver Market. The dates for Carver are 9/5, 9/19, 10/3, 10/10. Fall time is the time we bring out the pumpkin bread, pumpkin pies, the buckles (blueberry and cranberry), zucchini breads, the Holiday and Cinnamon Chip cookies, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, and we might try some muffins. There is talk of doing some apple crisp while at the Carver market. So come check us out.

Many markets will be celebrating the fall with some sort of fall festival. Most markets end the middle of October but there are a few that will continue into November. A few places even do a winter market. Check out Edible South Shore to find which markets are open later in the year.

With the fall comes the New England Food Festival. Plymouth host a variety of activities prior to Thanksgiving. Check out http://www.usathanksgiving.org for more information. We decided to see if they had all the vendors for the festival and they needed one more so we signed on. Now the daunting task is to decide which item to enter into the festival. The festival will be held on the waterfront on 11/20 from 11-4pm. If you are in the area, stop by. Vendors will be competing in areas of Best Chowder, Soup, Dessert, Party Foods, Decor, Local and Fresh. Judges will award a prize to a lucky vendor in each category. A people's choice award will also be awarded. Should be a fun and exciting time.

Enjoy the sunshine, the cooler morning temperatures, and the signs that fall is on its way.
