August 11th Market News

Dear Shoppers,

Happy National Farmers' Market Week! Despite the rain, we're celebrating with a cooking demonstration and tasting from Healthy on Hudson. The proprietor, Julie Fischer, embarked on journey towards healthy living when she was diagnosed with MS. Now a health coach, Julie supports people in changing their diet and lifestyle to achieve optimal health and well-being. We came across Julie's page when she tagged pictures of meals she made with her weekly Market haul. Tomorrow she's whipping up an easy and delicious peach caprese salad. Stop by her tent to sample the salad and sign up for a free mini coaching session. MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

Get to the Market early and want something light to fill up on? Try a vegan, gluten-free parfait from Sweethearth Bake Shop. Made with coconut and oat milk, Brittany will top it with any of her varieties of gluten-free granola.

Chances are you've been hearing a lot about the benefits of CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, a naturally occurring compound found in two types of the cannabis family of plants: hemp and marijuana. It's non-psychoactive compound and 100% legal in all 50 states. Found Herbal has a new line of products incorporating CBD to help with pain relief, acne, immune support, and a bevy of other ailments. Stop by jessica's tent to learn more.

There's always a line at Pura Vida Fisheries. And that's because you can't find fresher fish anywhere. Operating out of the Hampton Bays on Long Island, Pura Vida can have on any given day tuna, swordfish, fluke, littleneck clams, scallops, squid, striped bass, sole, octopus, and hake. Make sure to also pickup their chowders and lobster lasagnas for no-fuss meals.
