If you’re going to the market event in Manhattan today, look for signs like this, painted what must be Ceres
blue. This is the west end of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, closest to Vinegar Hill. Beyond the East River there, protruding into the sky to the right, that’s the empire State Building. Ceres has arrived, and
on schedule!
Inside this warehouse, I picked up my order of Ricker Hill Orchards vinegar and Champlain Valley Apiaries honey.
Excuse the poor quality foto. Could someone explain the dried (?) birds’ wings?
There was seaweed . . .
pumpkins,
wild artichokes, and much much more.
Agger Fish–right next to the warehouse–was a sponsor of the Brooklyn event, as were Brooklyn Grange, triple island, and Marlow & Daughters.
Morgan O’Kane played, parents shopped and talked, and and kids danced.
If you’re local and have time, get down to the New Amsterdam Market today . . . on the opposite side of the river here.
Congratulations to Erik and the team for a very big accomplishment. Although there’s lots of work left this season, season two starts up soon. Here’s some preliminary info on the vessel, which was modified in the construction. In case you’re wondering . . . Erik’s estimate is that Ceres sailed only about twenty percent of the trip.

Here, here, and here are my previous Ceres posts. Last but not the least least . . . it’s bowsprite’s rendering. Here’s the NYTimes version.
