Big week at tomorrow's market! We'll have music courtesy of Eric Wilson and friends, playing a mix of bluegrass and Americana, which should put a spring in your step while you're shopping for delicious goods. And we have a cheesemaker coming from Vermont, offering natural-rind cheeses made from her family's herd of Jersey and Holstein cows. Below is a list of the cheeses produced by West River Creamery (for more information, check out their website HERE):

MIDDLETOWN TOMME:  A brushed natural rind cheese.  This is incredibly smooth, melts in your mouth. Savory, complex with grassy undertones. 
THREE MOUNTAIN CHEESE: A washed rind cheese. Semi-soft, bold and smooth, velvety, finishing with a salty tang.
GLEBE MOUNTAIN SWISS:  Natural rind baby Swiss. Texture is smooth; flavor is buttery and explodes with a nutty tang.
CAMBRIDGE RESERVE: A traditional clothbound version of our English style farmhouse Cheddar.
LONDONDERRY RESERVE: A traditional clothbound version of our English style farmhouse Cheshire.
EQUINOX:  An oil rubbed, firm cheese. Flavor is savory with herbal undertones.
FULL CIRCLE: A goat milk tomme style cheese. Natural rind, smooth and gentle to the palate. 

AND THERE'S MORE! At tomorrow's market you'll have a chance to check out great produce, great bread, delicious pickles and savory jams and marmalades, award-winning pesto, fresh pico de gallo, maple syrup, smoked fish, grass-fed beef and more! The vendors are listed below:
