Good windy evening.
Forest dogwoods are beginning to flower here as well as red buds. I was driving just down the road and trees were already leaved out. Our garden farm is in its own micro climate !
Bo’s Garden Farm has listed Tilapia!
This sells out quick , always. ! Plus wonderful large Duck Eggs. Soon there will be food grown using aqua phonics from this farm so look for it.
I have to say something about our breads and the people that make them. All are different and deliciously nutritious .
First, Sylvan Falls Mill . All the grains they use are certified Organic and grown just a few hours away. Then ground on an old time 1840’s stone mill. Yes, they make their own flour. All ingredients are sourced local. That is their passion and expectation for the Bed & Breakfast they own. This is a dense loaf bread that is our favorite for ’homemade toast. They make a number of products that are off the chart good.Crescent Moon Farm is offering Artisan Round Salt Rising Soda Breads . Our family is in love with the Rosemary Olive Oil . There is a Cheddar Bread, Sun Dried Tomato & Onion Bread and more. These also are very good breads. Crusty and soft. And they have the Goat Cheese , Jams & Jellies to slather onto the breads. My favorite right now is the Feta Cheese!
And finally , VJ’s Gourmet Kitchen. Imagine a genius for cooking and baking combined with a passion for Gluten Free! Everything they make is yummy good and good for you ! Cookies, Muffins , crackers and much more to come. And they Roast The Sumatra Coffee perfectly!
All our bakers offer their special talent and love when baking these goods for you. Fresh. So eat wholesome , decadent, nutritious goodness and order from one or all !
We have the Butter List going this week. This Sweet Cream Butter is offered by Southern Oaks Jersey’s Dairy and made fresh. To order just leave a note to market manager when you place an order. The cost is $6.25 per pound.
Enjoy your time looking through the market.
