Hello Market Shoppers!
It may still feel like winter, but the days are getting a little longer and our farmers are busy pruning trees, starting seeds, raising chicks, piglets and calves all in preparation for a great main 2009 season. Thankfully they are not too busy to bring their delicious products to our next winter market from 10am to 11am on February 28th.
Betty's Buttons has an exciting new product this week. "Blue Sue" a dark chocolate fudge with Birchrun Blue cheese mixed in is not only delicious, but it also epitomizes the growing relationship-based, sustainable agriculture movement. Liz Begosh, who makes Betty's Fudge, and Sue Miller, who makes Birchrun Hills Blue cheese, met at farmers' markets and became friends. They recently traveled together to San Francisco, where they tasted blue cheese and chocolate paired together. Liz was inspired to incorporate Sue's cheese into her fudge, and "Blue Sue" was born in a spirit of cooperation and creativity.
Did you know that you can now get fresh baked bagels at the market? Check out Whole Hearted Bakery's listing for more information about them.
During the winter markets, farmers choose their own method of selling; some bring only pre-ordered items while others bring a variety of products for sale on a first-come-first-served basis. In the sections below you can find the product and order information for each producer.
Don't forget to read this email to see what is available, make your list, contact the farmers to place your orders, and then come to our regular location between 10 am and 11 am on Saturday to pick up your delicious, local food. You might even see your neighbors and market friends!
Helpful Hint:
This newsletter is packed with information. You can click on a
vendor's name on the sidebar to go directly to his or her product list.
Please forward
this email to friends and family that you think may be interested in
signing up for our email list so they can participate in our special
Winter Markets. (There is a link all the way at the bottom of the email
