Greenpoint Greenmarket
Our friends over at Dave's Kitchen have been keeping us up to date on our local greenmarket news. It's still in McCarren park, but in a new location:
This Saturday, November 14, there will be a winter squash pie contest at the McCarren Park Greenmarket. The best pie wins its baker a bag of goodies from the market booths, but the real winners of the contest will be the market customers, who get to taste each pie and vote for their favorite....More info at Dave's Kitchen.Remember that the market has recently moved, and can now be found at Union between Driggs & N 12th.
From market manager Lauren, here’s some of what else you’ll find at the market this weekend:
Red Jacket has apple butter and delicious ciders. Hot cider will be available at the market.
Osczepinski has a wide variety of winter squash. Once you’ve been inspired by the masterful pies at the cookoff you can pick up some squash and make your own.
Healthways has great potatoes. Perfect for your winter soups and stews.
Arcadian pastures has whole rabbits and chickens.
Dipaola is accepting orders for Thanksgiving. Turkeys (in a range of sizes) can be pre-ordered and picked up at the market.
Comments
Hey instead of a turkey, how about you go vegan and have a cruelty free thanksgiving.
