I had to break my cardinal rule about not buying anything until I walked all the way through the market once because The Baklava Lady was almost sold out and I didn't want to miss my chance. She had a special going--five wedges of baklava for $10--so I bought one of each variety she had left for our Sunday dessert.
After trying a sample, I bought some chorizo from Sweet Briar Farms, which I later diced and sauteed into some farm-fresh scrambled eggs for a "breakfast for dinner" meal.
I can't remember what it was called, but I couldn't resist buying a decadent granola, peanut and chocolate chip concoction from The Olde Town Bakery. And the shish-kebabs he was grilling smelled divine.
In addition to baked goods, kettle korn, produce and transplants, there were chainsaw carvings, beaded jewelry, baby blankets & gifts, and fresh flowers.
I was also excited to find artwork and greeting cards made by local artists. I picked out unique Mother's Day and Father's Day cards and a few others just to have on hand for birthdays and thank you notes. What talent we have in this area!
