January 21st Market
New Vendors to Debut
This Saturday
At the Collegeville Farmers' Market at Longview!
New to the winter market is Yellow Springs Farm with their award-winning, artisan chevres: once you taste these fresh, organic, handmade cheeses, you won't buy goat cheese in the supermarket again. This week Al and Catherine are bringing their Red Leaf, Mellow Yellow (saffron infused) and Fieldstone chevres for you to sample, along with their melt-in-your mouth creamy rich caramel sauce.
Neil's Sharpening Service joins our winter market this week. Clean out your kitchen and garage and bring him all your dull knives, axes, hatchets, paper cutters, reel and rotary lawn mowers, food processing blades, pinking shears, chain saws, grooming clippers, and anything else that needs sharpening. Everything can be sharpened while you shop! And while you are at Neil's stand, check out his unique pens, bowls, bells, toys and other products he has made out of wood with his razor sharp tools!
In addition to our two new farmers' market vendors, we also have your regular favorites:
Mountain View Poultry Farm will be bringing these new products: turkey, chicken and duck jerky infused with sea salt and an assortment of flavorings: vintage merlot, spicy curry, chipotle, lemon twist, vanilla bean, espresso brava, aged balsamic and sun ripened tomato.
Additionally, they have plenty of eggs-stock up!-as well as soups, sausages and marinated poultry, whole and cut up chickens and turkeys as well as all parts available. Mountain View's poultry is never given antibiotics, hormones or pesticides. At this time of year, when the birds spend more time indoors due to the extra cold weather, their diet is supplemented with ground alfalfa to keep them healthy. This week, Mountain View is offering a poultry special of $2.00 off the purchase price of a boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can pre-order by e-mail or phone: mtvieworganics@aol.com
or call (484) 797-7829.
Red Haven Farm will be at the market with their lean and flavorful pastured beef, pork, lamb and products, including sausages, special cuts of meat, and their farm-fresh cheeses.
Marcy's Granola is coming with Marcy's six original flavors of artisan granola, including her newest, cashew with cranberries. Her granola is made with oats, dried fruits, nuts and seeds, and she uses only the finest oil and vegan friendly sweeteners to make it slightly sweet. Try a free sample on Saturday, and you can also pre-order from her website: www.shop.marcysgranola.com
and pick up your order at the market.
Bigg Dutt's BBQ is bringing Matt'sspecial sauces along with his rubs.
A'dello Vineyards' is bringing their chardonnays, including Chardonnay Reserve and Chardonnay Naked, as well as their reds, including Cabernet Franc and their signature fruit wines.
Little Lost Creek Alpaca Farm will have their alpaca products available-including their heavenly soft and warm socks--and handcrafted pottery by local potter Nicole Dubrow.
