Long-stemmed roses are nice. Locally-grown food is better! Why not celebrate waking up next to the one you love on Tuesday with some wholesome granola at the market? You can find some at the Bread Alone stand, as well as the True Food of Nyack table and at Tierra Farm. Try a sample from each…

EAT BETTER in 2012!
Come shop the Hastings Farmers Market tomorrow! We are open from 9 am. to 1 p.m. at the James Harmon Community Center. For many, it’s a three-day weekend, and a cold one at that – (our Johnny come-lately winter has arrived) so load up on all things “soup”. This is the time of year when…
Why go to the mall when you could go to the market?
Any number of vendors at the Hastings Farmers Market tomorrow will have items that would make interesting gifts for the foodies on your list this holiday season: Why not put together a gift basket of products from Hummingbird Ranch (honey, syrup, lip balm, facial masks?)

apples, apples and more apples!
if you’re trying your best to eat local, this is the time of year to truly embrace the apple. The plump juicy berries of summer are still dancing on our mind’s tongue, but what we’re faced with at the market is well, apples. Crates and crates of different varieties of apples. Every year I like…
Yuck!
There’s nothing else to say about tomorrow’s forecast. Except that let’s face it…we’ve been extraordinarily lucky so far this season. I can’t remember when we’ve had 20 straight market-friendly Saturdays in a row. As it stands, the market will go on as planned. But please check your email or the website (www.hastingsfarmersmarket.org) before you head…
Expect the unexpected at the farmers market/ don’t forget apple pie contest next week!
The other day, I was thoroughly enjoying my lox and cucumber sandwich on a rye roll at the Farmers Market when one of our market committee members who had been looking longingly at my sandwich asked me where I’d gotten it. Not only had she never tried one of Station Cafe’s fantastic lox sandwiches –…
Restaurant Critic Soup
How did I review restaurants in NYC and not weigh 400 pounds? Well, for starters, I only “tasted” the dishes I ordered and let my guests finish them.I tried to limit myself to one piece of bread per restaurant. And every month, I’d make a vat of “restaurant critic soup” which I’d eat for…
