March 24th Market
Spring (or is it Summer?)
is in the Air. .
Saturday we'll get our April showers early--just as well since everything seems to be growing ahead of schedule! Also don't forget that Easter is April 8th this year, and the Longview Farm Store is taking orders for local ham and pastured lamb. The store also carries John & Kira's chocolates, who sell at our market, for your Easter celebration.
Our vendors at the Longview Farm Store this week are:
Mountain View Poultry Farm which again is offering a special on two dozen eggs for $8.00 and buy-one-and-get-one-free turkey legs. Marie will once again bring her pastured whole chickens and parts, and her extensive line of chicken sausages, soups, barbeque and other products, as well as her flavored salts.
Marcy's Granola and free samples will be on display; Marie will help you with your selections this week. You can sample a different flavor of Marcy's six original flavors of artisan granola. Check out Marcy's packaging which now includes Nutritional Facts.
Marcy's 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.
FreshAPeel Hummus will have a number of their wonderful hummus flavors reflecting both local and cross-cultural influences. Their hummus is made using a handcrafted single-batch production process for each of their tasty flavors. So good for you and delicious!
A'dello Vineyards returns bringing their chardonnays: Chardonnay Reserve, Chardonnay Naked, and semi-sweet Cardonnel, as well as their reds: a Chambourcin, Merlot or Cabernet Franc; their Cellar Door Collection of rose wines and their delicious signature fruit wines.
Our Collegeville Farmers' Market vendors sell inside the Longview Farm Store each Saturday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. through April 28th, 2012.
The Longview Center for Agriculture is located at the former Willow Creek Farm, 3215 Stump Hall Road in Collegeville.
While visiting our farmers and vendors this week, check out the variety of local, sustainably produced products at the farm store, including freshly picked green kale, rainbow Swiss chard, red beets, lettuce, arugula and harvest mix, scallions, herbs, carrots, garlic, and the many varieties of onions, potatoes, apples, and pears.
