New Business Springs Up In Alderson Submitted by Fawn Valentine
Alderson   Community   Market   welcomes   their   newest,   and   youngest,   vendor.   Vitale   DeRouen,   age   8, brings   rosemary   focaccia   and   infused   water   which   he   calls   "Tali's   Tea.   "   His   best   seller   is   strawberry-mint. Vitale   learned   to   make   focaccia   last   year   because   it   seemed   like   fun,   and   it   is   fun.   He   got   started   in   the kitchen   years   ago,   with   his   mother   teaching   him   how   to   help.   He   credits   his   grandmother   in   Ohio   for teaching   him   about   kitchen   utensils.   When   he   was   age   6,   Vitale   learned   to   make   scrambled   eggs.   It's   his favorite dish, and when eggs are served in the DeRouen family, it's Vitale who's doing the cooking. Come   to   the Alderson   Community   Market   to   meet   Vitale   and   other   vendors. The   market   is   open Tuesdays from   3   to   6   pm   at   the   Alderson   Visitor   Center   (old   Gulf   station)   on   Riverview   Avenue.   You   can   find sourdough   bread, Amish   donuts,   whole-hog   sausage,   pork   chops,   eggs,   salad   greens   and   other   seasonal vegetables   and   fruit.   One   of   the   market's   best   sellers   is   cinnamon   rolls   from   Fruits   of   Labor.   You   will   also find live music every week, with picnic tables under the trees where you can relax and visit with friends.
