It's getting cold at night and the brilliant foliage is starting to fall from the maples. We've been faithfully visiting farmer's markets in Hardwick, Craftsbury and Montpelier to provide veggies and products for our menus, but soon those markets will be coming to an end. Mini pumpkins and flint corn decorate the farmers' tents and gourds, squash, cold weather greens, pickles and preserves are dominant. Sweaters are being donned and soon snow will be covering our green lawns. In the meantime, we'll continue to cook up a storm in the cafe, creating menus and dishes that reflect the season and its bounty.
Come visit us at the Craftsbury Common Market on Saturday, October 6th, where I will be cooking up food that i've gathered from our local farmers. Music will be playing and make sure you bring a sweater along with an empty stomach.
