Farm News of the Week
This will be a short newsletter due to computer problems. Sorry.
From Molly Cornelison of Kountry Vittles:
With the beautiful but hot weather we have been having as of late my nice homemade chilled pies have been very popular and refreshing. Whether it be a Coconut Cream, Chocolate Meringue or the flavorful Fresh Strawberry Pie. For those wanting a reason to enjoy a good scoop of ice cream there is always the Fudgy Fudge Pie and the Blackberry Cobbler. I will be adding cupcake sized cheesecakes to the market this week as well. I will be offering these in plain, chocolate or Chocolate covered Strawberry.

News from Andra at Sow’s Ear Piggery:
Sow’s Ear Piggery this week offers select pork chops from a pure American Guinea Hog pig. Meat from this pastured-raised pig is noticeably darker red in color, and the natural pork flavor will be richer. Also, because of the breed and age of the pig, the chops have a beautiful fat cap that helps keep meat moist when grilling or cooking and tastes delicious. Don’t be afraid of the extra pasture-raised pork fat, shown to be high in omega 3 fatty acid, the “good” fat. Raised with the same standards as all our pork, no antibiotics, hormones, or animal-based products. USDA inspected.
