Not strictly speaking a market, because you don't go to it, it comes to you. But South Mountain Creamery is worth knowing about. The Sowers and Brusco families behind it deliver farm-fresh ice cold milk in the old fashioned glass bottles direct to the cooler on your doorstep - if you're not in to take collection personally.

You put your order in on-line. And it's not just for milk. They also sell grass-raised beef and other meats, butter, and cheese they've either made themselves or brought in from other small local artisans. Other products, like bread, honey, coffee, tea, spices and ready meals have been added to their list.

So you save time and greenhouse gases by not having to drive to get your provisions. The bottles are recycled. The dairy is not organic, however. But it does follow many organic farming practices. They don't feed growth hormones to their cows and other livestock. The chickens they sell are free-range. The pigs and lambs that aren't raised by them but supply part of the meat they offer are raised humanely. If you want to see what they're up to, they encourage farm visits. But call first to find out when.
