As summer comes to an end, take a minute to explore all of the prepared foods the Farmers Market has to offer. Delicious and easy, they are a huge timesaver! Try the empanadas from Ana’s Twist for a perfect weekday lunch (and don’t forget to pick up some fruit sorbet for dessert). Have some borek and stuffed grape leaves from Ozfeca as an easy weeknight dinner (with Turkish cookies or baklava for dessert). Sample the fantastic barbecue sandwiches at Old Blue BBQ — we promise that 8:00 am is not too early for BBQ! Or try my favorite — assemble a charcuterie platter from sausages, salumi, and pancetta at the fermented pig, crusty bread from Baguette Republic, cheese from Cheese Goatees, and jam from Great Valley Farms. You simply can’t go wrong! Find your favorite timesaver at Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, August 8, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. Don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pickup! We’ll see you (and your face masks) at the Market!
