Posted on December 10, 2011 | 2 Comments

Natural organic honey in the actual honeycomb.

Those of us who care about where our food comes from–and the reasons why we shop at the Stonington Farmers Market–will want to read this article on store bought honey that has no pollen (or its health benefits) in it and might in fact have dangerous contaminants instead. Click here for full story.

Feelin’ Crabby This Holiday Season?

Posted on November 26, 2011 | Leave a comment

Sick of turkey leftovers? Stonington Farmers Market vendor Lobster Shack has plenty of crab this week. Try out their recipe for Crab Newburgh. And keep in mind you can order year round (207.367.5059) from Lobster Shack or see them on Saturdays at the Orono Farmers Market (even in winter!…Lobster Shack will not be there next Saturday but will be showing at Orono on December 10th).  A happy holiday season to everyone from Lobster Shack!

CATY’S CRAB NEWBURGH

Ingredients:

¼ cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons flour
1 ½ cups light cream
3 beaten egg yolks
1 pound Lobster Shack crabmeat
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
tabasco sauce(optional)

Melt butter in pan, stir in flour.  Add cream all at once and stir until thickened and bubbly.  Pour half the mixture into the egg yolks and stir, return to the rest of the mixture and stir until thickened but do not boil.  Add crab and heat through.  Stir in wine, lemon juice, salt and tabasco. I like this over egg noodles.  You can replace the crab with Lobster Shack Lobster (about 10 ounces) or Lobster Shack Maine Shrimp (1 ½ cups) if you’re not feeling crabby.

Get Your Taste of the SFM Year Round!

Posted on November 9, 2011 | Leave a comment

Although our outdoor market is seasonal, many of the Stonington Farmers Market specialty food vendors sell their products  year round. Sunset Acres Farm & Dairy has a local subscription service for delivery of their artisanal goat cheeses and quality meats on Deer Isle every Friday. Gourmet coffee vendor 44 North Coffee has a mail order subscription service and also a cafe in Deer Isle village. Fresh caught seafood can be ordered from Lobster Shack and shipped anywhere in the USA.  Black Dinah Chocolates can be ordered directly from their website as can Lucy’s Granola. You can order fresh baked bagels and other goodies from Waters Edge Bagels.

And most–if not all–of our craftspeople and artists make their living from selling year round. Check the vendors list for contact info and get your holiday orders in early!

Lucy’s Granola Holiday Special Offer & Happy Birthday, Lucy!

Posted on November 8, 2011 | 1 Comment

This just in from the Lucy’s Granola newsletter….Lucy is turning 50 this week! The Stonington Farmers Market wishes you a happy half century birthday, Lucy. And here’s what Lucy is offering for the holidays….

For the forthcoming (very fast) holidays I am going to do some special offers including an extra bag for every order over 8 if you write the word Windswept in the “discount code” area of the online order form.  I can also gift wrap a box of granola and send it out in a second box, if that would be nice. Just write a note in the “Add special instructions to the seller” part of the order form.  We can do pecan/cranberry granola as well – just ask.  Remember Lucy’s Granola is a perfect gift as it is healthy, reasonably priced and made locally.  A perfect stocking stuffer, secret santa, house gift, breakfast for fussy guests – or just a loving gift of the most important meal of the day.    All specials are on – nut free, unsweetened, fruit free etc – Just be in touch and tell me what you would like.info@lucysgranola.com

Here’s what’s happening at Waters Edge Bagels this winter…
The Stonington Farmers Market may be over for the season, but, we’re still satisfying weekly orders for our hungry customers, nothing takes the fall chill away better then warm & delicious goodies fresh out of the oven.
“The Breakfast Bagel”, stuffed with baked ham, onions & oozing with spicy Pepper Jack cheese, is a wonderful treat on a cold morning to satisfy the hunger.  “Apple Coffee Cake”…  a wonderful moist & scrumptious, flaky topped coffee cake, chock full of hearty apple chunks with a hint of cinnamon…   Fabulous with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
And, as always our freshly baked Bagels & savory spreads.  A new topping has found its way onto our bagels.. Try our new “Thai Spice Bagel”, bursting with hints of curry & other exotic Middle Eastern flavors.

The pungent flavor of our chewy crusted  “Guinness Stout Bread” just begs for a slather of creamy butter or the fillings of your favorite sandwich.  Makes a fabulous Pannini  style sandwich.  (Available in whole loaves or sliced)
