The Count Down Is ON.....

With only three more markets left this season,
check out what the Fall market has to offer...

Columbia Beach Barbecue
 Customers of Columbia Beach Barbeque will receive a complimentary chocolate cupcake Saturday at the Bayview Farmers Market as a “thank you” for those who supported a recent fundraiser to pay funeral expenses for Dick “Papa” Trefts.

Trefts, who was instrumental in the creation and development of Columbia Beach BBQ, died September 5, the day after the fundraiser at the Bayview Farmers Market. Proceeds from the sale of items at the Columbia Beach Barbeque and donations at other booths at the market that day were  presented to Trefts after the sale. “Papa was overwhelmed and unable to express his feelings in words.”

“It is truly amazing to see our community, along with total strangers, pull together during tough times to help someone in need, and  you definitely did just that for our beloved “Papa,” his family said.

What to do, what to do? All these gorgeous chanterelles! Feature them at my booth, Pie for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, of course! Look for Broccoli/Chanterelle/Feta or Bacon/Chanterelle/Swiss Quiches, Down Home Chicken Pie with Chanterelles, and Potato/Cheddar/Onion/Chanterelle pie. Also find a variety of fruit pies and pre-Thanksgiving Pumpkin and Pecan. Ask for the "pie lady".


Sicilian raisin, dark rye, Genzano, plus an incredible almond cake
We're racing against the clock to schedule everyone's favorite items before the market ends October 30.

This week we've got a great new bread we just couldn't wait a year to introduce: Sicilian Raisin. Made with semolina flour, the crusty loaf is filled with regular and golden raisins and candied lemon peel, and a spicy twist from toasted anise seed.

We'll also be baking Fromage et Lardon, Genzano (Country Italian), and Cracked Wheat Sourdough. This week's rye will be Dunkles Roggenbrot, our delicious dark, dark rye bread that makes the best cheese sandwich you've ever tasted.

Our special cake this week is French Almond (photo at left) --- three layers of dense almond cake sandwiched with apricot jam, iced in our own Italian buttercream, enrobed in white truffle.
