ALmost, but not quite, the end of the Howard County Market Season. Just tomorrow at Oakland Mills.
Today I did stop out at Glenwood, where three vendors were present. Getting to be somewhat slim pickings as the season winds down.
Lewis was having their customer appreciation sale, and tomorrow they will be at Oakland Mills to finish. Large baskets of apples at really great prices.
Besides Lewis, Stone House had people picking up their orders for the holiday meals. We got our parker house rolls to take to my brother’s for our Thanksgiving meal.
Stone House has a storefront up in Taneytown, for those who can’t wait until spring to get more of their freshly baked breads, pies, cakes and cupcakes.
I also put a couple of small breads in the freezer to save for when we aren’t getting CSA shares.
TLV had meat, potatoes, squash and eggs. They will still have many of their items at the farm when they open for Christmas tree season next week.
I ventured off to Breezy Willow to get yogurt and butter, and found the welcome surprise of the return of the Bowling Green Farm cheeses. Glad to see them back.
Breezy Willow farm store, besides being open on Saturdays year round, will be open this Tuesday for those who want a few last minute items for the holiday.
Finally, off to Roots to get beans, coconut milk creamer, a few baking supplies, and coconut so I could make this.
My first time making home made granola. Rolled oats, coconut, almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries. The secret to this granola. Honey and egg whites. Very little sugar. The egg whites do a good job instead of using lots of sugar and oil. Flavored with cinnamon.
I may never buy granola again. This was super easy to make.
Now, to get into the holiday baking soon. I have a few new recipes I want to try.
As for markets, there are still a few around. More on them in a future post.
Plus, a list of farms that have items available all winter.

Your granola looks GREAT!
My son had a sled hockey mini camp up in Cleveland in August, and I took the opportunity to meet Meghan from Clean Eats Fast Feets in person while I waited.
She gave me a bag of her amazing granola, and I’ve been hooked on homemade granola ever since. I keep a 2 qt jar on my counter for my evening granola obsession. What sold me is how tender Meghan’s nuts are–she doesn’t overbake to make things too crunchy like store-bought granola. Life changing. I’ll have to try egg whites–my favorite chocolate lava cake leaves me with a few egg whites to deal with. Thanks!
The One Straw Farm’s CSA is also done for the year. The final share contained lacinato kale, red kale, collard greens, kohlrabi, bok choy, spinach, savoy cabbage, butternut squash, potatoes, and Romanesco broccoli.
