Today, July 12th, at the Vestal farmers market. I once again went to the Baking by numbers tent. I got the ham and cheese croissant. What a great tasting sandwich this was. The croissant was flaky with good taste. The idea of ham and cheese inside was a great idea. Another must try from this place. Today was the second time I've been to the store in Owego, NY.

Kalamata olive and garlic focaccia, chewy, airy but dense. Salted perfectly. Nice and oily. No notes.
Savory cheese pastry was balanced well. Nice and buttery, cheesy, with a nice light garlic finish.
Apple danish is fantastic. Flaky pastry, buttery, apple chunks with some skin but well cooked adds a great texture to the bite. Only thing I would say is it doesn't need the icing or could use less. The apples and Danish were already perfectly sweet. The icing hides the more complex and delicate flavors of the Danish itself.
Pending review of further pastries and bread as we...
