Market Day Canele - makers of the delectable Bordeaux confection know as canele, as well as delicious sweet and savory tarts, was featured in Main Line Dine this week! As a matter of fact, the reviewer stumbled upon Market Day Canele at East Goshen Farmers' Market! Gil hails from Philadelphia, but his ingredient list for his baked goods reads like a who's who of local produce farms, grain mills and dairy farmers. We are thrilled to have him as part of our market!
