Westminster Farmers' Market

Last week was very busy at the farmers’ market.  We had about 9 booths and they were all hopping throughout the entire afternoon.  The amount of food items is increasing each week both prepared and whole!  I saw some incredible looking prepared sandwiches at Ann Patsis booth – they were meal sized and you may consider stopping by her booth for supper!  We had vendors with beef, pork, kale, swiss chard, salad greens, radish, rhubarb, asparagus, herbs, eggs, Capri goat cheese along with Smith’s country cheese.  Also available: breads (olive, feta, garlic, cinnamon, Finnish, English muffin, hamburger rolls, gluten-free), rhubarb pie and crisp, jam, seedlings, annuals, cakes and cookies.  Read about the nutritional value of Kale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale and swiss chard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale.  It will definitely make you want to include it at your dinner table!

Please consider reducing your trash and recycling.  Reusing an item is more beneficial to the environment than recycling it (which can be done when it is no longer useful) so be kind to our town and donate what you have in your recycle bin!  We will have a bin available where you can leave items for vendors to reuse!  The following items are needed:  garden center pots, seed six packs, egg cartons, small/medium glass jars, coffee grounds, empty 50 lb brown paper sacks -- food grade, unwanted coolers in good condition.
