I have enjoyed seeing the transformation of a gas and bait store into a tremendously varied wine, beer, food, exotic tonic waters, and yes, gas and bait store :-) Now, during the growing season, you can get fresh, locally sourced produce! My absolute favorite is heirloom tomatoes. I almost hate to say that because the good ones are so hard to find! Trust me, add some basil, good balsamic vinegar, and virgin olive oil and you will think you're in heaven. So, I guess Crazy Lady's is not quite as crazy as you might think:) Between the two, you have an unbeatable combination. Cheers, y'all, Dr. Ray

There was lots of meat-- chicken, eggs, beef and pork. They had some sourdough and other treats as well. They did have some fun earrings, trinkets and what not as well! They were setting up for the chili cookoff and had some samples of cakes and things inside. A cute little store but I hope it doesn't mean they're getting rid of the actual market that's here.

This time I bought a jar of her avocado-lime but need to come back for her Chipotle! There was fresh seafood and meats, jams and other jarred foods, clothing and scarves, fresh produce, salsa and chips and MORE. I am so happy I discovered this gem and can't wait to come back for more salsa and to support some more local vendors in the future. Shop local! Pro tip: if you buy a jar of salsa (or 3), don't hesitate to get a bag of her fresh homemade tortilla chips, too. They're the perfect pair and honestly, chips from the grocery store aren't nearly as good.. I wish she sold them in bulk!

This farmer's market really is such a gem! I had kind of written this farmers market off during…read morecovid worried about crowds. I went early last Saturday and it was actually perfect. My husband and son wandered around the other side of North Hills since no one was there and I went to grab our Farmers Market items. Almost everyone had a mask on and it was a quick and safe way to continue to support local farms at this time. I walked away with great peaches, lettuce, tomatoes, flowers, cucumbers, zucchini, and a breakfast sandwich from their visiting food truck! The flowers that I scored from Blackdog Hops were beautiful AND lasted two weeks. A lot of times cut wildflowers don't hold up, but their flowers did. I also loved all the organic produce I bought from Nourishing Acre Farm, oh and of course Michael's English Muffins is a continued favorite. Can't wait to head back over soon!

My favorite is their class potato, but I also really like their sweet potato variety. The knishes are all seasoned super well so you really can't go wrong with whatever tasty variety you chose. They are often at the Midtown Farmer's Market in North Hills on Saturdays, sometimes other spots around town. For $4 they are a really good deal as just one knish is huge and filling. You can also order mini knishes for parties and such. Highly recommend!

So now you know what a Knish is! I had never heard of them until Mr. O saw them at the Midtown Farmer's Market (at North Hills). He visited them first back in the fall, and we decided this beautiful spring Saturday to head over there together. Knish-a-Licious has 3 flavors to choose from Classic Potato, Sweet Potato and Kasha. Mr. O has had classic potato, but this day we got the Sweet Potato, which reminds me of thanksgiving wrapped in dough. It was sweet and warm and comforting. Then there was Kasha, which is buckwheat and caramelized onions. It is a warm savory flavor. Mr. O said, if you would have told me this had meat in it, I would believe you. Both were very very good! We always think it's fun to step outside of the typical culinary box that many Americans dwell in, and we are always glad we did. Today was no different. It was a good and fun experience, and not terribly expensive. ($4 per Knish, and they are about the size of a baseball) So Look up Knish-a-licious, find out where they are and go check them out!

They look great, easy to pull out of a bottle, keep the wine better than natural cork (no cork taint aka TCA), no reduction eggy smells (screw cap bottles have these issues in 10% of the wines - the screw cap causes SO2 to dumb down the wine which dumbs down the fruit but you have no idea that if you open another bottle it will taste better. Nomacorc'ed wines taste like the winemaker intended them to taste. They are made from Sugar-Cane! Zero Carbon Footprint, Best recyclability, no harm to the environment. Natural cork doesn't break down, it has to be ground down at a special facility - less than 10% make it there, probably less than that out of billions.

The only Con is their Accounting group- D. Cozart & Nurisha J. like rabid dogs wanting to rip your flesh for 2 quid in your pocket. When people have no social media presence it can mean they are abhorred, despised, and detested - Truth. Otherwise, outstanding company. Anyone that drinks wine has had a bottle with a Nomacorc in it, and that wine tasted how it was meant too, because of their superior engineering and relentless testing for perfection.

Synthetic corks are…read moremore consistent and trouble free than any natural cork available to a home wine maker, and Nomacorc is hands down the the best synthetic on the market. Many home wine makers complain about bad experiences with synthetics because they are tricky to use with manual corkers. Commercial wineries use automatic pneumatic corking machines that can insert synthetics without distortion. Manual corkers tend to distort synthetics at the ends. The trick is to make sure you use a longer closure at least 1.75 inches (44mm) long. With the longer cork you get a good seal and no problems. I love Nomacorc. The only problem is it can be difficult to find the longer corks available in the small retail quantities used by home wine makers. But when you can find them they are the BEST!
