Saturday Market Menu for November 16, 2024

Tomorrow looks to be a beautiful day for a November market. Market hours are now 10-2. If you find yourself on the early side, as some customers did last saturday, take a stroll and witness how all the early risers gracefully spill into their market booths and bring a vibrant and robust market to life. All these vendors have spent a very busy week creating, harvesting or cooking their wares. Most have risen before dawn to load trucks and gather supplies for the day. Most have arrived a little sleepy but in good spirits, anxious to sell their wares. We all know how lucky we are to be part of this market. It’s a fabulous community of relationships, some lasting decades. So enjoy your stroll thru market tomorrow and relish the amazing community we live in.

A quick reminder, tomorrow’s market starts at 10am and ends at 2. Dress warm and come down. Our meal will be soul warming and spleen supportive. The local farms still have a large array of produce to sell.

We have 2 more markets after this. Along with our meal and desserts we will have miso, Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing and Peanut Lime Sauce available. Don’t miss that opportunity to stock up on a few items.

Saturday Market Menu for November 2, 2024

In honor of Day of the Dead, a spiritual holiday originating from the central Mexican culture , we will be serving a south of the border style meal. Our red beans w/fire roasted tomatillos from Stick N Stone, Roasted sweet potatoes from Plowbreak Farms, Mushroom Tamales from Wellspring Farms, Kingtown Cider braised red chard with cinnamon from Plowbreak and our fresh farm salad from Remembrance Farms. Our sweets come from the Black Diamond Orchards, Perry City Orchards and Farmer Ground. Everything is as farm fresh as we can get it. Consider each meal that you purchase from us hasn’t traveled half way round the country to get here. In fact most of it was grown within 10 miles of our kitchen. Our squash soup also comes from the abundant Plowbreak Farm fields, miso soup is made from our own miso and fermented from the koji we inoculate in the kitchen. Our talented cooks, Sarah Deljoo, Rachel Williams and Erika Coquehuanca bless each meal with their exquisite palate. As many of you already know, this will be our last year at The Ithaca Farmers Market. In fact this is our last month. Our final market will be on November 23rd. The saturday prior to Thanksgiving. We plan to make our last market a celebration, Thanksgiving style. Menu forthcoming.

Tomorrow the market will open at 10 and close at 2. So everyone sleep in a little, as will we, and bring your appetites 1 hour later. Let your friends know so they don’t hustle themselves to the market too early to beat the crowds.

Figs from Perry City Orchard

We will be offering another miso just packed from the barrel this afternoon. RedHead. A nice light miso made from Red Koji spores. A soybean/Rice koji/sea salt blend. This miso was made last year, so it’s really mellowed into a full satisfying flavor especially good for soups, sauces, dressing, desserts, anywhere you would like to heighten the umami in your recipes without the feeling of being over salted. Over the next 2 months I will be packaging miso when I feel the flavor has develop to its peak. I’ll be selling jars for $5.00 to help move the product. As many of you know I will be retiring from Macro Mamas at the end of this year. This business is currently up for sale. Many customers would love to see this business continue on and would be happy to support a new owner. Feel free to share this news and come visit us at the market while we’re still here.
