Goat Cheese & Gluten-free menu

Goat cheese
This year’s market organizers were delighted to find a new goat cheese vendor to meet the demands for more cheese.
Peter and Elizabeth Mulholland of Valley View Farm in Topsfield will sell their handcrafted chevre, a soft, fresh goat’s milk cheese that can be bought plain (for you “vanilla” folks) or coated with pepper, herbs, or blends of oven-roasted garlic, chipotle pepper, toasted pecans, or sun-dried tomato and basil.
Other soft-ripened goat cheeses available from the Mulhollands will be New Meadows, a camembert-style cheese, and Highlander, named in memory of their honeymoon tour of cheese dairies in the Scottish Highlands.
Valley View Farm, the only dairy in Topsfield and the only cheese producer in Essex County, is a family enterprise where “kids, human and goat, run through the kitchen, yard and barn.”
Gluten-free menu
If it’s an afternoon snack you’re looking for, stop by Glutenus Minimus.
Not to be confused with a not-so-well-muscled posterior, you’ll find a delicious variety of gluten-free products, including cookies, muffins, cupcakes, and pizza.
Owner Natalie McEachern was diagnosed with celiac disease in college, and started Glutenus Minimus with the help of her mom, a “dedicated Italian mother.” While the quality and quantity of gluten-free foods at the supermarkets has improved of late, says McEachern, she has yet to find a gluten-free cookie that compares to her mom’s.
The Market is located at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Fletcher Avenue and Woburn Street, and will be open every Tuesday, rain or shine, from June 9 through Oct. 27. For more information, visit www.lexingtonfarmersmarket.org, where you can also subscribe to the Market Update, the LFM’s weekly electronic newsletter. Not all vendors come weekly. Consult the Web site, or visit the Market Manager’s Tent for information on the vendors, artisans, and entertainers at the market that day.
