In search of the best local products to satisfy their winter hunger pangs, Hamptonites braved yet another snow storm to attend the highly anticipated second monthly farmers market hosted by the Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton. From artisanal cheeses to dry rosé cider, the very best local vendors and purveyors showed up to showcase their specialty products in the beautiful restored Topping Rose barn.

Topping Rose’s Chef de Cuisine Ty Kotz made sure to take a break from the kitchen to personally thank all of the 31 vendors for attending their indoor market.  Feast your eyes on KDHamptons favorite foods and products on display, and be sure to attend the next farmers market:

Everyone made sure to stop by for a sample of Mecox Bay Dairy’s artisanal cheeses. Mecox also offers fantastic grassfed meat as well.

Topping Rose’s Chef de Cuisine Ty Kotz prepared duck panini’s with apples, Mecox Bay Dairy’s Shawondasee cheese, and crisp potato chips for guests to grab for a quick lunch.

Apropo chocolate was created by a married couple who are both experienced savory and pastry chefs.  They we have personally visited and formed relationships with over two dozen farms from the surrounding areas of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, to the effect of sourcing the best dairy, fruit, vegetables and herbs to flavor their chocolate.

Arlotta’s exclusive Olive Oils are made from cold-pressed, early harvested, organic California olives infused with only the finest fruits, seasonings and herbs.  Their Balsamic Vinegar is aged for over 25 years and made the same way since the Middle Ages.

Amangansett Sea Salt is crafted entirely by hand in Amagansett from small batches of seawater harvested from the Atlantic Ocean.  They have many different blends including merlot, lavendar, lemon, truffle, wasabi, and fennel.

Don’t miss next month’s farmers market at the Topping Rose House!  Stay tuned for date and time.
