Order Your Turkey
Meet Kasey Fechtor from Stillman’s at the Turkey Farm! She's ready to take your order for a holiday turkey at the Copley Square Farmers' Market. That's one thing you can check off your Thanksgiving planning list. (You can also order, right now, online.)
Reserve Those Pies!
You can also reserve your holiday pies or, if you're undecided which pie to feature, you can buy some small ones and have a taste-off this week. It's hard work but exploring all the options is a cook's responsibility. If you have to peel the rutabagas, you should get to taste-test the pies. The ones above are from Cook's Farm and Bakery.
Bring Home the Keepers
To keep those last market shopping bags from bursting at the seams, stock up on some of those supplies this week and next. Winter squash, pumpkins, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries, apples, and carrots will keep until you’re ready to add them to your holiday meal.
Gifts for A Host or Hostess
If your role is as guest rather than chef, add a local touch with a gift from one of the artisan vendors at our local farmers' markets. One example is this selection of spreadable fruit from Deborah's Kitchen.
Or, a jar of wondeful local honey.
What's on your Thanksgiving shopping list? Will you shop for some of the meal at your local farmers' market?
