Hello BFM fans, 

Keepwell Vinegar is back!  Welcome Isaiah and Sara back to market. Stock up on their 14
wonderful vinegars
and try the new Black Walnut Bay Sauce:


"Black Walnut Bay Sauce begins life as our very own apple cider vinegar. We age it for a year with ginger, garlic, and horseradish for a round and deep savory flavor, but the most important element is a hefty amount of black walnut leaves. The leaves give it a mild bitter and herbal flavor, which has a unique history of use in American south cooking traditions - an early worcestershire-like seasoning.

Bay Sauce makes a wonderful mignonette right out of the bottle, is the perfect secret ingredient to your caesar or blue cheese dressing, and is a killer marinade on a quick-cooking cut like flank steak."

Our favorite Chef at market, Jonathan Bardzik, will have 4 brand new recipes developed from our producer’s produce, cheese and meat and pasta, some surprising techniques and great stories. Jonathan and his team tested the recipes last night and Robin was there.  Join him from 10-12 Sunday.  Wait til you taste the eggplant chips with chopped white tomatoes topped with stovetop cheese and breadcrumb stuffing. Recipes and samples included. 

We have watermelon at the market (Yay) so to celebrate, here are some recipes for
a watermelon salad and a mexican style twist.
