Stock Up On Your Vegetables, Pies and Biskookies

A rainy Thursday in Nyack doesn't bode well for the weekly .

At the last market, heavy precipitation drove many merchants away—by noon, a number of vendors had already given up. There were only about five booths remaining, one of which was in the midst of packing up.

A few brave shoppers—with umbrellas in hand—made their way to the market. Those who made it had top choice of veggies, as there wasn't much competition.

("I don't care what the weather is like, I need my tomatoes!" I overheard one woman in a poncho tell another shopper.)

Here's a list of merchants that braved the downpour. Check them—and their wares—out at today's market (and relax—it's supposed to be sunny):

was there, with a slightly smaller booth than usual. Part of it was the weather, but as the growing season winds down, there is a lot less available to sell. As the winter approaches, the farm focuses more on baked goods, jams and other seasonal items.

was throwing everything into their truck. It looked like they had previously had a full setup, but couldn't take any more. A must try: their onions.

had its usual arrangement of the breads, fish, pasta and more ready for the customers.

had plenty of barrels ready with former cucumbers and such. (They're already wet, so what's the difference?)

had just left. Check back today for their gluten-free biskookies, which they invented.

Remember: the Thursday before Thanksgiving is the final market of the season, so make sure you stock up and get everything for the winter.
