NEWS AND NOTES

Several of our growers have new things in the works this winter. Amy Rae of Solace Farms sends this note:
We have added a few more cuts of our grassfed Scottish Highland beef – some sirloin steaks, round roasts, and have lowered the price of our ground beef and added a value-pack 5 lb listing. Also, this week only, we’re taking $2 off T-bone packages! We need to make some room for the next steer we are getting processed, so there may be more specials coming soon.
We are sold out of lamb chops and ground lamb, but still have plenty of ribs and roasts for those wonderful winter slow-cooked meals!
I’ve also added several new soaps – a Sandalwood & Cedar that comes in a wild animal shape, and a Ginger, Lime & Lavender goat milk line as well. There are also some new listings for small-bar multi-packs if you want to sample several different soaps and fragrances, and lastly I’ve added a smaller version of my ever-popular alpaca-wrapped felted soap, in the same natural or hand-dyed colors. Try one out this week!

From Corey Mack Raper of Macks’ Mushrooms:
Hello Folks,
It is that time of year !! Macks’ Mushrooms is staying busy cutting new mushroom logs and inoculating them. Macks’ will be adding at least 200 logs into production which means more beautiful shiitakes !! Macks’ also has plenty of dehydrated shiitake available that keep great on shelf for later use
Best Regards,
Corey Mack
