The wild turkey that moved into the village about a month ago has been named
F E A T H E R S T O C K I N G by Cooperstown Farmers’ Market patrons. Out of the 105 names entered as possibilitites for the young female bird, and after considerable debate, agreement was reached. Thank you to all that participated.
If you haven’t already spotted Featherstocking, she pretty regularly walks in the morning on Lake Street and up lower Chestnut to the light on Main Street where she has been seen crossing the street safety within the cross walk. However, as the nights get colder keep those doggie doors latched securely. Featherstocking is wild, you don’t want to find her in your kitchen one morning!
All the ingredients you need for your Thanksgiving feast are at the market now.
Special order baked goods or your roast of choice, if you would like. Man and the Moon Herbs has a great selection of kitchen aprons for cooks of all ages. And be sure to try Heller’s Bread and Butter P I C K L E S , the real thing, like granma used to make. They are crisp and less sweet than the supermarket varieties, I couldn’t stop eating them. Also Heller’s bottled grape juice this summer - a mountain of flavor!
Sonia from Nectar Hills Farm has started making some very warm and lovely sheep fleece HATS and decorative fleece PILLOWS, something special for the gift giving season. Molly is taking special orders for the 18′ american DOLL, yes, even a ‘Kate Middleton wedding dress’ for that special little girl. Goldpetals has a wonderful new gardenia scented MOISTURIZER. The Herb Cupboard has dried herb wreaths, dried flowers, as well as some potted HERBS. Parsley will grow on the window sill all winter. Chopped raw and sprinkled on any savory dish, it adds a fresh flavor and B vitamins.
S C H E D U L E : The market is open every Saturday through December 17 with a special holiday market on Thursday, December 22, 9:00-2:00. January to April markets will be held the first and third Saturdays of the month, 9:00-2:00. As is the tradition, we will also have a special market on Winter Carnival weekend, 9:00-2:00.
The market continues to take E B T benefits through the winter for all food products. We exchange benefits for wooden market coins at the market on Saturdays or during the week at the Otsego 2000 offices which are located in the same building to the right of the market, for more information, (607)547-6195.
