NEWS AND NOTES

Whew! What a cold market day we had last week! Thank you to all our farmers and customers who arrived so promptly! Michael and I were able to wrap up market and leave premises before 5 pm, much to our great relief. We will look forward to spending time with everyone and chatting about new products, etc, on a warmer day! Hopefully this week will be a lot different, weather-wise.

Weaver Farms hamburger is normally $6.50 a pound, but this week they will do a special: 5 pounds for $30!

Catherine from Flying S Farms writes:
We will have farm fresh eggs, sour dough plain, 7-grain and wheat breads available in full or half loaf size as well as rolls, great for grilled cheese sandwiches or peanut butter jelly sandwiches. Rolls make great sliders or mini buns. Your toast deserves the best with some of our award winning jams. Enjoy a treat with our Friendship breads, slice for a cake type dessert or top with fruit topping or your favorite ice cream. Dip in egg mix for French type toast.

If the weather is as nice as the forecast now says, Dogwood Valley Greenhouse will have some beautiful hanging basket houseplants, Aloe vera and Rex begonias at market on Thursday. And maybe even some flowering Christmas cacti. Pick up a couple of plants to beautify your home and to help raise the inside humidity this winter.

We will be glad to deliver your order to you, at home or a location of your choice, on Friday afternoons for a small fee. Order delivery just like any other product.

(L to R) Several scents of Goat Milk Soap and Deodorant from Solace Farm, 1 lb Butter from the Altamont Mennonites, Brussels Sprouts from Frontier Family Farm, Eco-Soy Candle from Botanical Harmony.

More new farmers are considering joining our market, if they can expect enough sales to help pay their transportation costs.
