As a dedicated Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) member of a local Long Island farm, I have no real reason to visit farmer’s markets. Each week, I pick up my CSA share of fruits and veggies from a neighborhood community center, and call it a day. Today was different.
In search of a peach-infused balsamic vinegar which was highly recommended by my friend, Beth, I went to my local farmer’s market at Christopher Morley Park in Roslyn, New York where I expected to find it. Needless to say, I didn’t find the booth selling the vinegar, but I was pleasantly surprised by some of the other goodies I did find. For your information, the Peach Balsamic Vinegar which I was searching for is from a company called Arlotta Food Studio.
I felt like a kid again as I hopped from booth to booth checking out some amazing local and artisanal products. If you are reading this blog, there is a good chance that you frequent farmers’ markets in your own area, and already know what vegan delights can be found other than produce.
Here are some of my favorite Farmer's Market finds...
Orwasher’s prides itself as New York’s Original Artisan Bakery. Orshwasher’s website claims that they’ve been baking bread in their own bakery on Manhattan’s Upper East Side every day, for nearly 100 years. Along the way, they became addicted to sourcing local ingredients and opting for sustainable, natural and organic ingredients.
I was told at the Orwasher’s farmers’ market booth that all of their breads (with the exception of the Challah and the Cinnamon Raisin) are vegan. I bought and sampled the seeded New York Rye Bread and the Sesamo bread, and both can only be described as a “bread lover’s dream.”
