St Paul Farmer's Market Memories.
We are finished for the season at the downtown St Paul Farmer's Market. The market continues on Saturdays until T-giving; Sweet Cheeks returns in December.
Beginning December 6, we will be starting the indoor market. The Winter market is held inside at Golden's Deli, on the corner of 4th and Wall St, right across from the market.
Of course, some of the hardy farmers will be outside, so stop there first... and then come in out of the cold for some hot cocoa and a warm bagel. Golden's is family friendly and there will be plenty of vendors selling their wares; including Sweet Cheeks Baby Food!
So, when cabin fever sets in, remember to stop down to Golden's and the indoor market. What a wonderful summer at the farmer's market. I met tons of great babies, their 'rents and made lots of new friends. It was Sweet !
Winter Market begins December 6, 2008

The downtown Saint Paul Farmer's Market invited me to represent the market on Showcase Minnesota. It was pretty cool, and a bit nerve wracking!
I love the market, I love the sense of community and I really love the food!
So, it was a pretty natural fit. I haven't shopped much in a traditional grocery store all summer! And I love planning my menus around what is the best and freshest for the week: spinach and radishes in the spring.... peas and strawberries in the summer... watermelons, heirloom tomatoes and blueberries in late summer... and finally butternut squash and garlic and apples now. I also always buy: eggs, chicken, chocolates, soap... and I pick up my Cedar Summit grass fed dairy products from Golden's Deli. Makes me hungry just thinking about it!
It's been a healthy summer; my coat is shiny. Here's my favorite recipe for this
time of year.
Roast Chicken
One whole chicken
One butternut squash: peeled, seeded and chopped
3 carrots, peeled and chopped coarsely
3 stalks of celery, diced with some of the greens
3-4 (or more) cloves of garlic, chopped
1 onion, quartered
2 apples, cored and quartered
4 potatoes, quartered
Place the chicken in a large roaster. Pile all of the vegetables around the chicken. Drizzle liberally with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Roast at 450 degrees for 75 minutes.
YUM! Serve with crusty bread to dip in the juices.

"I've attached a picture of my little boy, Quinn. He loves your food SO much - if he is unlucky enough to be served anything else he wrinkles up his nose! Thank you for providing such wonderful products. It makes me feel so good to know my baby is eating something healthy, local, and natural." -Bella, St Paul.
