Gourmet but limited selection of vendors from 9am-1pm on Sundays. Today's temperature was below freezing so there were only about 15 vendor tents today. Convenient because they're all in one place. Many vendors allow the option to pre-order (we pre-ordered dim sum and bulk apples and pears) then simply pick up. The full vendor list is on the Palisades farmers market website. You can also just show up and buy on the spot. Everyone was wearing masks, keeping 6 feet distance, and a COVID protocols sign was clearly posted.
Here's what we bought today:
Assorted dim sum from Chinese Street Market DC. Homemade baos and shu mai and bing. They're frozen so you need to cook them (15 mins) in a skillet at home. Their "pork belly and sticky rice shu mai" was the most flavorful and satisfying I've ever had--a must order if you like dim sum!
Assorted pastries (raspberry tart, yum), individual cakes, croissants, and other baked goods from Patisserie Poupon in Georgetown. They had a varied selection laid out on display. Arrive early for the best selection.
Sausages and meatballs (all frozen, and pre-packaged) from Stachowski, a butcher in Georgetown. There were 3 other vendors selling meat.
Fuji apples and brown pears, sold by the 2 or 3 lb bag, from Kuhn Orchard. The apples and pears have a thin coat of wax on them but I wish they were unwaxed. Apples are crispy, not mealy!
