Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "Eggs from hens raised on pasture have more of the good stuff (compared to standard, non-pasture egg farm production): Get eggs at the Market and you get 7 times more beta carotene, and 2-3 times more vitamin A, vitamin E, and omega-3s".

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

At the Market's Zero Waste Station volunteers help shoppers sort items into three bins (compostable food scraps, recyclable items, and trash). The station decreases the amount of trash produced by the Market - a long sought goal! This program was started by a Girl Scout for her gold award. Now it's our community’s job to keep it going, and we hope you will consider joining our volunteer team. Volunteers receive community service hours. Morning shifts are from 8:20-10:45am, and afternoon shifts take place 10:45-1:10pm. To begin volunteering please email Coordinator Jadyn Serebin at jadynserebin@icloud.com. Thanks!

VENDOR HIGHLIGHTS

Hodgin's Harvest will be offering warm samples of their Mushroom Risotto on Saturday -- showing how their kits make risotto easy! The kits are made with three different types of Certified Organic mushrooms grown at the farm and are packed with umami flavor. Just sauté the contents of the package in butter/oil, add white wine and water, then bake for 30-37 minutes. Avoid the labor-intensive traditional stir, stir and stir method, without sacrificing quality.

Wright's Farm has Gingergold, Gala, Honeycrisp, MacIntosh, and they are offering 2 quarts of Juicing Apples in PFM-O for $3.00 as well. Mead Orchardshas Blondee, Cortland, Crimson Crisp, Crimson Gold, Crimson Topaz, Idared, Empire, Gala, Gingergold, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Macoun, McIntosh, and Zestar apples.

Orwasher's Bakery has added Pumpkin Bread this week - preorder in PFM-O to ensure yours! Soft and just slightly sweet with hints of ginger and pie spice, this loaf is a fall favorite. Try it toasted with a slather of butter, or make some incredible Pumpkin French Toast on a cool October morning.

Kriemhild Dairy Farms will be at the Market Saturday with their full line of products. Now is a good time to stock up with butter for fall baking. To avoid disappointment please preorder your Kriemhild milk and chocolate milk.
