The last Saturday of the Inwood Greenmarket, which is in easy walking distance of my home, was 17 December. Our fishmonger told us this last week, and added that he'd be in Union Square Greenmarket (which is year-round) but not until he comes back from a month's vacation fishing in Costa Rica. It pleases me that he enjoys fishing, isn't out there on the boat just because it's a living.
Not all the vendors seem to have realized that the last local Greenmarket until June was last week. The street wasn't closed to traffic, but four vendors were there, with their stalls set up on the sidewalk and the adjoining lawn.
The organic meats came from the people who sell us meatloaf sometimes. They were cheerfully handing out samples, which is how we wound up buying a ham. The chicken parts are a cutlet, and two bags of wings that will go into soup. We were too late for legs and thighs, because we needed to get lunch and go to the supermarket first. (Clementines!) We asked, and paid, for one bag of wings; the man threw in a second. All the chicken went directly from their freezer to ours; when I'm ready to make stock, a bag of wings and some duck bones will come out of the freezer. The ham is for tomorrow night.
Apples because apples are good, and local apples are particularly good. Macouns, if I recall correctly--I was a little spacey, and asked![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude to select the apples. And the sweet baked goods because I like them, I've given up on the banana bread, and it will be better for my shoulder if I don't make cakelings right now.
