The Weblog

Welcome to the Carolina Foothills Locally Grown weblog. Mainly this is a collection of e-mails that we send out each week to kick off the market, but also tells the tale of our little market.

Growers/producers may list their available products at any time now. To be available for each weeks market they must be posted no later than 8:00pm on Friday.

The site will be opened for shopping Friday evening at 9:00pm and remain open for shopping until 4 pm Monday afternoon.

Growers will drop-off their orders from 3:30 to 4:00 pm Tuesday & Wednesday. Customers can pick-up their products from 4:30 to 6:30 pm Tuesday and Wednesday (depending on pick up site).

Customers and growers please double check your drop-off and pick-up locations. Customers, you can specify your pick-up location when you order.

Happy Mother’s Day!

There are lots of NEW products for real good eating and sharing.

It’s really important to buy local food first! I personally get most of my weekly groceries here. ( And I grow a lot of my own food as well). It’s so satisfying knowing that my dollars went into a farmers hands than into corporate entities.

Farm Tours are scheduled soon. A lot of our farms here are participating in the CFSA coming in June. More details later. CAFE is planning a tour of farms as well. So there will be plenty of opportunity to visit any farm you want!

Plus, most farmers allow a stop in visit. May even put you to work. ( I know I would!)!

Take care of your moms, buy local food and craft , and Eat Well!

Happy Friday! Market Opens Today!!

We have an ongoing ‘Butter list for one pound of freshly made butter from Southern Oaks Jersey Creamery. And there’s plenty of Fresh Milk too! This is a farmer that really takes good care of his cows. This milk is healthful and chemical, antibiotic free. Taste the difference.

Market Opens Tonight by 9 pm

We’ve got lots of veggies and it will only increase! There is nothing better than freshly harvested lettuces, greens, carrots and beets from the farm to your table.

Today we’re featuring , Crescent Moon Farm located in Westminster.

Products to look for:

  • Newly listed Goats Milk from a Certified dairy ! 1/2 gallon of Fresh milk from goats that are well taken care of and loved!
  • Kefir made from both goats milk and cows milk. Kefir is a yogurt like product loaded with probiotics.
  • Artisan salt rising soda breads in White, Cheddar , Rosemary Olive Oil, and more!
    Crusty outer, softer inside. With a little fresh made Butter….. Mmmmm!

Anyone for Butter Milk Pie? A Southern favorite and I can tell you first hand that it’s very good and true to Southern tradition.

Another way that goats milk is used at this farm is in the making of beautiful soaps! With added
Aloe Vera juice and flavored oils, you can expect a healthy yet sublime experience !

Let me complete by saying that the farmer ladies behind the scenes are friendly and committed to bringing you high quality products grown and nurtured in sustainable conditions.

Know your farmer. Get most of your weekly food , beverage , bath, beauty and medicinal products from farms that are close , friendly and believe that local and sustainable practices bring you better farm food overall !

A Request!

Crescent Moon Farm is asking that the Butter Milk Pies be ordered before 10 am on Monday.
A Warm Thank You!

the Butter List
It’s time to add a pound tub of salted or unsalted Sweet Cream Butter to your order. Our dairy , Southern Oaks Jerseys Dairy sells out quickly. That why you won’t see it on here on a regular basis. It’s 6.00 per pound. Just put a note at the end of your order indicating how many you’d like added to your order!

Have a Blessed weekend!

Eat Well!
