Hello Market Shoppers!


Spring is on its way, so it should be a little warmer at our next Winter Market this coming Saturday, March 12th from 10am to 11:30am!  A few specials this week include gumbo soup from Mountain View Farm and the return of guest provider Sunrise Flour Mill!  ICED By Betsy has some special flavors in honor of Saint Patrick's Day this week too.

You will find all of the producers set up in the upper section of the Market in the gravel area.
To make sure that you don't miss any of the great items that will be available, make sure you browse the entire email below.  Farmers pick their own method of selling at Winter Markets; some bring only pre-ordered items while others bring a variety of products for sale on a first-come-first-served basis.

Sweetwater Baking Company has  two more bread making classes in the coming months.  Look for information below.

We hope to see you on Saturday!

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 to forward it -- thanks!)

Matcha contains large amounts of the antioxidant EGCg and the amino acid L-theanine along with many other nutrients known to help you live a long, healthy and youthful life.  Matcha is the only tea that is stone ground and the only tea in which you drink the entire leaf: ~ no straining, just mix matcha with water, hot or cold ~ bringing you more green tea benefits, more great taste, and a truly satisfying tea drinking experience.
Dr. Oz frequently presents matcha on his show, expressing the highly beneficial antioxidant content that he believes is an essential addition to our diets.

One ounce of matcha will make approximately 15 cups of tea.

Sunrise Flour Mill
Marty and Darrold Glanville
 

This week we will welcome a very special guest producer.   Marty and Darrold Glanville, who own and operate Sunrise Flour Mill in Minnesota, will bring organic flour they have milled.  You  may ask how this fits in with our emphasis on local producers.  First, Marty's daughter recently moved to Kimberton Hills so she visits our area regularly and is a part time local.  Additionally Marty mills hard wheat which requires a cooler climate than we have here in Pennsylvania, so we don't have a local source for her product.
