Autumn in New York..
The weeks leading up to Halloween feel extra special in this part of New York, and delicious autumnal produce, like apples and squash, play no small part in that magic. This week, you can find perfectly ripe apples at Wright's Farm and Caradonna Farm, and there's no shortage of delicious things to make with them. This caramelized onion, apple, and goat cheese melt, with onions from Madura Farm and goat cheese from Maplebrook Creamery, is an elevated take on a classic grilled cheese, which is perfect for those cozy October nights. You can serve any savory meal, like these delectable Chinese pulled pork sandwiches with pork from FarmEats or R&M Farm, with a crisp side of fennel-apple salad. And for dessert, you might want to top it all off with apple-potato latkes with cinnamon sour cream. Yum!
Another beautiful product of fall in New York is versatile and nutritious kale, which you can find at Stoneberry Farm and Great Joy Family Farm. A hearty breakfast of baked eggs with kale, bacon, and cornbread crumbs is well within reach with bacon from Goode and Local and corn from Madura Farm or Wright's Farm. You can even incorporate your own home-cooked cornbread for that extra touch! When dinner rolls around, you can't go wrong with an autumnal spin on a classic pasta: kale and Italian sausage lasagna with pumpkin bechamel or orecchiette with roasted butternut squash, kale, and caramelized red onion are sure to satisfy your cravings, and you can never go wrong with a side of kale tabbouleh with parsley from Stoneberry Farm.
Varietal Bread Company is back again this week, so there will be no shortage of delicious breads and pastries between them, Wave Hill, and Bien Cuit. If you're looking for a head-start on holiday gifts or just want to cozy up your home for the colder months, Copper Faucet Soap Co., Fleur Piton Candle Co. and Ici et Là have seasonal soaps, candles, and reusable cloth goods galore. Spain at Home and XOLO Food Truck have you covered for lunch, so come hungry, and we'll see you at the market!
