The Greenmarket Report: Cider Doughnuts & Pumpkin Bread

Doughnut eating contest alert!

Cidermakers from Bad Seed Cider join Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket as it kicks off Cider Week on Saturday, October 19 from 10:30am-1pm at the info tent, where they’ll show you how to make cider at home. Plus, you’ll have a chance in a cider doughnut eating contest! The fastest contestant to eat a doughnut with no hands will win a Bad Seeds Cider t-shirt, and, we’re sure, an incredible amount of pride.

Over at the Park Slope Farmers Market on Sunday, October 20, look out for pumpkin bread from Orwashers Bakery, which we hear is soft, pillowy, and challah-like with nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Pick up some eggs and cream, and you’ve got the makings for some incredible French toast for brunch, yum.

The GAP Greenmarket runs Saturdays from 8am-4pm at Grand Army Plaza. The Park Slope Farmers Market runs Sundays from 10am-5pm along 4th Street at 5th Ave.
