IT’S ALL PART OF THE AUTUMN EQUINOX….
Do you have apples in your garden, or growing near you? It’s Autumn Equinox next weekend, and to celebrate we’re teaming up with our friends at Spa Hill Allotments for an apple harvest day. We’ll have an apple press so you can make fresh juice, there will be appley products on the stalls plus games for the kids. Bring along your apples (windfalls welcome) and clean containers for the juice. The press makes carrot juice too if you fancy that. No apples? No worries. Glasses of freshly made Thornton Heath/Palace juice will be for sale at a bargainous price.
On another autumnal note, well done to the Palace Pint hop growing brigade. Over 10kg of Crystal Palace grown hops were collected & will be used in the 2014 vintage Palace Pint from Late Knights Brewery. Check out this rather amusing write up from the Guardian:
Chas & Momo: Baguettes, sour dough, brioche, burger buns, croissants and whatever else Chas has cooked up in his Thornton Heath bakery.
Neals Yard: Organic beauty products.
Love Bites: Away on hols this week. Samuel will be back next Saturday. If you’re hankering for his dehydrated breads ask Wade at the Grain Grocer – he’s got a special stash of them this week.
A little bit of news from the courtyard crew: Love Bites and the Grain Grocer have teamed up with The Platform @ 2 Ridgeway Road London SW9 with a pop up cafe/chill space, open from 21 Sept – 12 Oct. Find them at The Platform in Loughborough Junction. Love Bites will be taking care of the raw organic vegan deliciousness & Grain Grocer are on the ingredients.

Brett & Bailey (see photo): Cake news from Joe “Seasons collide at this weekend’s B&B stall! We’ll be stepping into autumn with some of our favourite bakes, and introducing a brand new range of delectable handmade jams. Bakes include apple and salted caramel cake (see photo) ; blackberry blondies; plum crumble cake; and we’ll have some all-new offerings including spiced pear and chocolate cake, and apple and raisin brioche. Both our mouthwatering pecan and pumpkin pie and our chocolate and sour cherry cookies will be making a welcome return to the stall, and we’ll also have our usual favourites such as chocolate Guinness cake, double carrot cake, dark chocolate brownies, and sticky buns. You’ll be also able to sample our moreish homemade jams for the first time, with flavours including plum and rose, apricot and vanilla, and pear and ginger. Still after a final taste of the summer sunshine? Try our fig and honey cheesecake with hints of rose and cardamom; or our lemon and almond meringue cake with a rich seam of juicy peaches.
