The general fruit and vegetable offerings are listed below, plus a few additional notes. Greek Gourmet Update Everyone loves the humus that the The Greek Gourmet brings to the market. They typically have over 20 flavors of hummus each week. A few weeks ago they started bringing other goodies. So they now offer falafel, spinach pies, spinach and feta pies, and meat pies. They also bring packages of pita bread, plain and whole weat. I have tried all of these items and they are all excellent. Hand-made items from Uganda Margaret will be at the market this week with her items from Uganda. She typically has items such as woven baskets, beautiful cloth bags, paper bead jewelry, salad servers made from wood and bone and various other items. These items are lovely to have or to give as gifts and are very reasonably priced! J. L. Kennedy Meat Stand... As always, locally grown meat from the Kennedy's. Kistaco Farm... continues to have locally raised apples. Apple varieties this week include Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonagold, Rome, Empire Cameo and Idared. Fresh pressed cider will also be available. On the veggie side, snow peas, brussels sprouts, broccoli, zucchini, tomatoes, spinach and leaf lettuce. A summary of fruits and vegetables available throughout the market from Zang's, Greenawalt and Kistaco stands is summarized below. If you are interested in locally grown, please feel free to ask the farmers which items are local.
