Happy November!

See you at Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, November 2nd, between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. We’ll see you at the Market! Once again there will be a wide variety of vendors offering locally grown seasonal fruits and vegetables; farm fresh eggs; fish, beef, and pork products; baked goods; sweet treats; and gourmet prepared foods. Fresh-cut flowers will be available as well.

SPECIAL GUEST: We will have a special guest from the Virginia Native Plant Society (VNPS) to discuss gardening with native plants! They will also have a few plants to showcase and talk about. Stop by the market entrance for some conversation about using native plants in gardening and landscaping.

LAST MARKET DAY REMINDER: While we head into our last month of the farmer’s market, we want to remind you that our last market day of the season is the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 23rd. Our Westover Farmer’s Market is our sister market that runs annually. They have a Winter market that runs from 9 am-1 pm December-April. We have several overlapping vendors to ensure you can still shop for your favorite goods.

ARTS MARKET: As we continue to grow, we look forward to sharing the spotlight with local vendors in the community. Our last market on November 23rd will be our annual Arts Market. Are you a local artist? If so, please contact [email protected] to inquire about reserving a spot at our Arts Market. This will run from 8 am-12 pm during our farmer’s market. You must have arts/crafts to give away or sell, no food may be sold, bring your tent/table/chair to fit within a 10×10 space, and if you are under the age of 16, have an adult present during the market. Your email should list what items you will sell/give away, one photo of your art, your full name, email, and phone number, as well as social media handles. Your email will be reviewed and you will receive a confirmation of your spot no later than November 15th. Emails received after will not be considered.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Homemade Apple Cinnamon Fruit Leather

INGREDIENTS/EQUIPMENT

  • 4 cups of peeled, chopped apples
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Wash, peel, and chop apples and place them in a medium saucepan.
  • Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook about 10 minutes or until soft.
  • Add granulated sugar and cinnamon and mash. Cook 2-3 more minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Put mixture into a blender and process until smooth.
  • Pour onto a large baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat) and spread with a spatula into a thin layer. Bang the pan on the counter a few times to make sure the mixture is evenly distributed.
  • Bake at 170 degrees (or similar low temperature, depending on your oven) for 2-3 hours, checking every 20-30 minutes, until it’s tacky but doesn’t stick to your finger.
  • Allow it to cool, then cut into strips (a pizza cutter works well) and roll up. Keep in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You do not need to peel the apples, extra nutrition if you leave them on! The estimated amount, is approximately 7-9 medium-sized apples. You can simmer on low heat with or without a lid for a similar effect. I added lemon juice and omitted the sugar. I would recommend using a fruit mixture if you want a burst of flavor besides apple. My second recipe came out delicious adding in a few frozen blackberries! I highly recommend a Silpat (silicone sheet) or parchment. You can use a dehydrator as well and time for 12 hours between 117-120 degrees.
  • This recipe was tested by our very own market manager, Deniese Degges! Thanks for reviewing and sharing your insights with us! If YOU have recipes you have tried and enjoyed, please share with us at the market tent!
