August 4th Market News
Dear Shoppers,
Food scrap collection is back! Thanks to the hard work of the Hastings Conservation Committee (especially Haven Colgate, Elisa Zazzera, and Coco Zordan) and Village administrators (particularly Fran Frobel and Mike Gunther,) the Village has secured two 2-yard dumpsters for food scraps which will he hauled by a private contractor to Ulster County, where the food scraps are turned into compost. Collection will be during Market hours (Saturdays, 8:30-1:30pm) in a new location to accommodate the size of the dumpsters. The new collection site will be in the Zinsser commuter parking lot by the fire hydrant across from the train station (east of the train tracks.) Drop your food scraps off, park your car for free, and head to the Market.

Calcutta Kitchens' Nimbu Pani
This Indian Limeade is made fresh by Aditi at the Market. It's is sweet and tangy with a pinch of rock salt and spices that cools you down while replenishing body salts. Originally from the state of Punjab, nimbu pani can now be found all over India. It is a welcome relief from the blazing sun both in India and here in New York!
North Winds Lavender
They are finally BACK! They were so successful in June that they ran out of enough lavender to satisfy the July demand. They are now back with fresh lavender, syrup, soaps, and other body care products.
Red Barn Bakery
This Irvington bakery and cafe had such a great time two weeks ago that they have decided to return for a regular rotation. Red Barn makes baked goods for shoppers with dietary restrictions without compromising on taste and texture. Using 100% organic ingredients, they source local as much as possible. Try their vegan whoopie pies!
