At the Market September 23-25

Fall is here! It hasn't brought cooler weather for today, but since I'm starting to crave fall flavors, you'll find them showing up with more regularity in The Grain Maker baked goods.

Here's what I plan to have at Local Roots this weekend (starred items available starting Thursday):

--Artisan wheat bread*
--Basil pesto flatbread*
--Cheese crackers*
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: chèvre-rosemary, cheddar-dill*, feta-oregano*, Black Swamp Gouda (from Canal Junction Farmstead Cheese) with sage, and Lock 21 (Brie-style from Canal Junction) with peppercorn
--Cinnamon-pecan bread*
--Garlic-herb baguettes*
--Garlic pesto flatbread*
--Light rye bread*
--Maple oatmeal bread*
--Pain aux noix*
--Rosemary walnuts* -- remember these savory treats from last winter?
--Sesame thins*
--Whole wheat pita

You'll find two kinds of vegetable-cheese rolls in the bakery case, too:

--Rockin' Roots! Yes, I'm bringing back the combination of Banzhaf Garten beets, local carrots, homegrown chard, a honey-mustard vinaigrette, and creamy Lucky Penny chèvre for another week. Limited quantities.
--Roasted tomato and feta: Combine Banzhaf Garten organic heirloom tomatoes, roasted in a slow oven with olive oil and oregano, with tangy, salty Lucky Penny Creamery feta, and you've got something that will definitely perk up your taste buds!

Come Friday, I'll bring back pear-hazelnut torte, with pears from Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm, hazelnuts from Bud Luers' farm, Hartzler Dairy butter, Stutzman Farms whole wheat, and Gortner's maple sugar. This may be the last week for it as my pear supply is dwindling, so enjoy it while you can!
