Hello Market Shoppers!

 

It certainly has been a challenging week as winter brought us snow and ice and power outages.  Fortunately, it sounds like we will only get a dusting of snow this weekend, and eventually spring make a most welcome appearance.  We are hoping our spring header will bring it a little faster!  Weather doesn't stop our farmers and we will have a good showing at the market tomorrow.  Sadly, St. Peter's Bakery did not get power in time to bake for the market so they will not be with us.   They are truly sorry and will make up for it next market with LOTS of their great baked goods.

 

We will still have wonderful food- locally grown salad greens, salmon, pork, honey, tea, hummus, pasta, bison, mushrooms, and hot drinks and baked goods from Artisans Cafe.  Deep Roots Valley Farm and Birchrun Hills Farm will not be at the market because they are at the annual PASA (PA Association for Sustainable Agriculture) conference in State College.  They will return next market full of new ideas gleaned at the conference.   In the meantime, we hope you will bundle up and come on down to the market!!


This week Michael Olesky, a farmers' market shopper who is also a nutritional coach, will have information about improving health and well being through diet and lifestyle decisions.  

 

If you are looking for a good recipe for these cold winter nights, check out this one for pasta with mushrooms.  Vera Pasta and Oley Valley mushrooms are a perfect match! 

 
 

If you haven't come to one of our Winter Markets, please visit us! 
We all set up in the upper portion under the bridge and make a cozy circle of incredibly delicious food.  Chances are that you will have a chance to chat with a neighbor or old friend, and you might even make some new acquaintances! 
      

See you at the Market!!
