After our successful Opening Day (Read the Cortland Standard coverage) we were soundly drenched in Dexter Park. However, we are proud to announce that food and arts lovers in Cortland who were brave enough to venture out to the Market were not disappointed. Despite the rain our vendors were offering the best of Cortland's spring bounty at the East End Farmers' Market this week. Featured were spring salad greens, kale, chard, spinach, garlic, strawberries, grass-fed beef, maple syrup products, a variety of baked goods, fresh cut-flower bouquets, potted perennial and vegetable plants, all-natural soaps, lotions, and spa products, and ecologically friendly home-cleaning products. All grown or produced right here within 30 miles of Cortland! We were happy to welcome two new farmers to The Market this week: Rising Moon Setting Sun organic farm and Blue Oyster Cultivation...who's ready for locally grown gourmet mushrooms? I am. And I've got a licked-clean soup pot to prove it.
Coffee Mania was once again on hand to provide coffee by the cup and locally roasted specialty coffees for us to take home and enjoy throughout the week.
A variety of baked goods including breakfast scones and pastries were available from Red Rose Farm and Edgewood Bakery and Farm.
Holistic Hands Therapeutic Massage and Aroma Therapy offered chair massages.
At 10:30 Technicolor Trailer Park wowed us with their energetic and thoroughly entertaining performance on guitar and mandolin...folk country for country folk and babies dancing in the rain!
Brought to us from Cornell Cooperative Extension Cortland County and Eat Smart New York was Angela Knight providing an outrageous spinach/strawberry salad with produce generously donated by our own Buried Treasures Organic Farm.
