Thanksgiving Market!

This Saturday our Pleasantville Farmers Market producers are bringing their best to help your Thanksgiving week be extra special. Sharper Harper will be in to sharpen knives on site. The River Garden has beautiful craft items to gift or decorate with, and weather permitting, Living Edge Designs will be in again with fantastic cutting boards. Whitecliff Vineyards and Spirits Lab Distillery will be visiting too. This week our farms have an inspiring fall harvest to shop, and our food artisans are ready to support your festive menu with their unique items.

Saturday is our final market with the fall hours of 8:30am - 1:00pm. Please note the Market is closed on 11/25. We reopen at the Plaza on Saturday, 12/2, with the winter hours of 9:30am - 12:00am.

On behalf of the Market and all its vendors, we THANK YOU for shopping with us all season. We hope you will stick with us all winter as our producers remain a weekly source of healthy and inspiring food. Your patronage makes a big difference to the families of our producers. And we know they appreciate being able to provide for your family as well.

"Apple cider vinegar (ACV) contains acetic acid, vitamin C, and B vitamins. Acetic acid can increase the body's absorption of important minerals from the foods we eat. Several studies have shown ACV consumption in patients with Type 2 diabetes improved their blood sugar control, insulin levels, and high triglyceride levels".

VENDOR HIGHLIGHTS

Big breakfast news: Having found an audience for their delicious Momo dumplings all season, Himalayan Delish is now offering egg sandwiches, served 8:30am - 10:00am, using fresh eggs from Hilly Acres Farm and a choice of Orwasher's onion or Ciabatta roll.

Whitecliff Vineyards will bring a great lineup of Thanksgiving wines to the Market: Awosting, Riesling and Red Trail (for those who want a fruity note to complement the sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce), Gamay Noir (a terrific light-bodied dry red--and Hudson Valley grown--that won't overpower the turkey), and the debut of a new release with a 10% off new release price -- their 2021 Blanc de Gamay Noir (a crisp, distinctive dry white made from the vineyard's Gamay Noir grapes -- a variety known in the Jura region of France but VERY rare in American wine production).

With the holidays upcoming, Edgwick Farm is offering two holiday seasonal pairings with its Canterbury soft goat cheese: Cranberry Orange (sweet), and Sun-dried Tomato Garlic (savory). Also available for the entire holiday season are Holiday Cheese Balls (sweet or savory) and Chocolate Goat Cheese Truffles.

Kyle Nisonger, of Maple View Farms, notes that his salad greens are pre-washed and perfect for the holiday week. The greens are spun dry so they'll keep in the refrigerator until the guests arrive next week.

This Saturday Spirits Lab will make their last visit of 2023. Their next is April 2024, so stock up!
