The Cambridge Farmer’s Market is taking off, even on a cold and rainy day, inside their winter headquarters in the former town fire company building.
There is a new energy to the market, a deepening sense of community, with new vendors and energized old ones. Many of you have been reading about Casey working day and night to get her renovated horse wagon into shape and selling coffee, tea, baked cooks, and sandwiches.
New vendors are signing up all the time, even in the off-season of winter. And Casey is getting closer and closer to her dream of a classy food cart in town every day.
Casey’s mother has worked for years at the Adirondack Seafood Company in Glens Falls, an Adirondack city north of Cambridge.
She and he mother got Adirondack to experiment with being a vendor at the rapidly growing farmer’s market. Thanks, Casey. I don’t think you know that Lobster Rolls are my favorite food; I’ve driven hours to get one. Casey plans to open her refurbished horse trailer over the next couple of weeks.
She plans to open up the car in February.
Casey is expanding all of the time. Last year, it was coffee and cider. Now it’s coffee, cider, tea, bread, scones, muffins, winter hats, and more. Thanks for the Lobster Rolls, Casey; you made my day. She’s found a location for her cart and is asking for permission to bring her food wagon there.
Every time I see her table, there are more and more good things to eat.
Emlyenne is a regular at the farmer’s market; she sleeps happily in the infant sleeping bag Casey keeps. The baby is four months old and I have the sense she will be an integral part of Canteen/ Coffee, Inc. I love seeing her almost everywhere Casey goes.
Two workers from the Adirondack Fish Company showed up at the Farmer’s Market today. It was too noisy for me to pick up on their names. We did shake hands and I begged them to return.
Lobster rolls, joy, joy. We had a great lunch today. I hope the Adirondack Fish Company comes every week forever.
Christmas music at the market
Cindy’s goats are not milking this time of year, so no goat cheese, but she has many other things to sell, including her top-rated soap. She has an open house and sale at her CAZ Acres Farm next Saturday, and we’ll be there. It’s her third open house.
We’ve become friends with Cindy; watching her soap business take off is a pleasure.
It’s the best soap I have ever used, and I’m excited for Cindy and proud of her. She is focused and hard-working, a dreamer who walked the walk and didn’t just whine about her hard life.
She’s also a lovely human being. She and Maria (and me) love to catch up with her at the market. Her e-mail is [email protected]. Have a great holiday season, Cindy; you deserve it.
