Philip and Linda Fekula hit up opening day of the Easton Farmers’ Market 11th Winter Market on Saturday for some Swiss chard for his special recipe.

Back home in Bethlehem Township, he’ll sauté the stems first in butter and fresh lemon then add in the leaves rolled up, with some more lemon and maybe a little garlic.

Stephen Mitzak said he and his fraternal twin brother, Keith, grow the greens aquaponically at their AquaSprout Farms in Branchburg, New Jersey, using filtered water from a tank of fish fed non-GMO feed. The water is recycled back to the fish tank, using 92% less water and 90% less energy per square foot than traditional agriculture, he said.

Allyson Snik, of Bethlehem, swung through the open-air market in Easton’s 300 block of Northampton Street for a variety of mushrooms to sauté in butter with fresh thyme, which she then adds to pappardelle pasta and tops it all with parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and parsley. She pointed to the ones she wanted from Primordia Mushrooms, of Lenhartsville, and Elizabeth Beller used her gloved hands to bag them up.

“It truly does feel like the first winter market,” Emily Roland said as she manned the stand of Mertztown-based Funny Farm Apiaries, heated insoles in her boots. “We’re here with toe warmers.”

Parkas and hoods were the fashion, along with steaming cups of coffee from Roastwell Coffee Roasters in Ringoes, New Jersey, during the seasonably chilly start to the Winter Market.

It continues 10 a.m. to noon Saturdays through April 29, with the block of Northampton Street that is also home to Easton Public Market closed to traffic for vendors to set up in the street.
