These were my other highlights today and are already added to my shopping list for next week;
Happy Trails Stepping Stones
We bought one of these stones last year for Matt's parents it is beautiful and will buy more from them. The website doesn't include all the designs that they have available. They also shipped it to New Hampshire for us so we didn't have to mess with it.
Brown Owl Designs
Has adorable onesies, blankets and headbands. I already regret not getting one of her headbands today but I guarantee it is on my shopping list for next week.
Farm fresh free range all natural angus beef, those eight words should leave most people salivating. I am beyond excited that this farm in Georgia takes orders and you can get your beef right at the art market. Their quarter side of beef runs between 120 -150 lbs and has approximately;
- 8 t-bones
- 4 ribeyes
- 2 sirloins
- 4 cube steaks
- 4 round steaks
- 7 roasts
- 1 boneless brisket
- 32- 2lb packs of ground beef
If you buy this much you get it for an insane $4.oo a lb! The good news is they have smaller packages available since the quarter listed above almost fills most stand alone freezers. How exciting farm to table not just for the professional chefs.
The desserts at this table looked so unbelievable and fresh. I'm dying to go to their storefront in Springfield. I saw them cutting this Dark Chocolate Raspberry cake and it looked like flourless cake. There was also tres leches and a chocolate marquise that she decribed to me as cookies and cream. Not having tried anything I can't say but judging from the smells, sights and crowd around this booth everything tastes as good as it looks. Now to decide what to order from here!
This soap smells so wonderful when I turned into the aisle I could smell them four booths down. Fresh, clean and natural! They supply soapmakers and aromatherapists with supplies but for those of us that are lazy they also make & sell glorious handmade soaps

Brooklyn Knish
Armed with coolers and a small oven this booth was turning out hot amazing looking pastries. I had one look at the menu and asked about the appetizer sized knish. I will be calling Monday and having them make me 25 Ruben and 25 Artichoke, Spinach, Parmesan Cheese & Chive appetizer sized knish that I can pick up at next Saturday's Art Market. I'm having a party and while it doesn't exactly fit the theme I know they will be a hit. I'm especially excited about the Ruben since I was informed they age their own corned beef.
