Last Saturday was the first day back outdoors for the Vermont Farmers’ Market. Over 50 vendors, both new and returning, set themselves up in the Rutland City Depot Park, just adjacent to the Wal-Mart parking lot.
According to The Vermont Farmers Market Facebook page, these vendors attended the first outdoor market:
24 Carrot Cakes
Backyard Gardens
Yoder Farm
The Rutland market will continue each Saturday until October, 9 a.m. -2 p.m. The Wednesday market at Depot Park will begin May 19, 1-5 p.m. If you miss those, the Thursday Fair Haven Village Green market begins May 20, 3-6 p.m. Please note that facial coverings are still requested and dogs are no-longer allowed on the premises of the farmers’ markets.
James Buck Four Corners flour tortillas fresh out of the carousel oven at All Souls Tortilleria s Oak Street operation By noon on a recent Wednesday, the All Souls Tortilleria flour tortilla operation on Oak Street in Burlington was in full swing. Fresh balls of dough were flattened in a wedge press before heading into a carousel oven, from which they emerged puffy with air bubbles. A bite of a tortilla hot off the line evoked the toasty aroma of a late-summer wheat field and had a pastry-like flakiness. Between these Sonoran-style tortillas made with lard and the company s Four Corners version made with sunflower oil, All Souls produces about 5,000 flour tortillas a week. Since January, these have gradually joined the company s corn tortillas in retail coolers.
