Blessed Are The Cheesemakers…

Not just a line from Monty Python's Life of Brian, but a mantra you should live by, especially when tasting the goodies from the Clover Mead Organic cheese makers.

At their table at Schroon’s Farmer’s market, you can sample a number of the cheeses they make with their grass fed Jersey cows.

On a recent Monday we sampled a very yummy smoked gouda and their very natural  -- preservative free – mozzarella. Check out them out, as well as the other fine artisan food makers, at today’s Farmer’s Market. 9 – 1pm @ The Town Hall. So what's your favorite Monty Python line -- that might be applied to the Farmer's Market? Tell us in comments.

Schroon's New Tasty One Stop Meal Shopping Spot

We keep hearing rave reviews from folks who have discovered the bounty of delights at Monday’s Farmer’s Market.

"You could plan an entire meal or two here, complete with wine,"said holiday maker Dr. Ed Latimer, from Montclair, New Jersey, who was staying with friends with his wife Isabelle.

"From a cheese plate for appetizers, salad greens, herbs, the main course, to dessert, it’s all here. And there’s even wine."

Dr. Latimer was impressed with the white chocolate flavor of a dessert wine sold by Colebrook Country wines.

“For a small market, it covers everything,” Isabelle told us. And here is just a sampling of what the Latimers picked up: jams, pies, salad greens, herbs, maple syrup, wine, cheese.

Farmer's Market. Today 9 am to 1 pm. Parking lot outside the Town Hall.
