The Market is open for ordering.

Good morning.
I am looking out over the foggy pasture at all the white chickens roaming around. It is a beautiful, peaceful site and I find myself filled with gratitude for our slice of land and what we get to do here and for you in knowing the value of clean food and what it takes to produce it. On behalf of all the farmers and growers, I say “thank you”.

If you want fresh chicken this week, Joyful Noise Acres Farm will have them available for pickup Thursday afternoon. Send me an e-mail if you are interested in fresh birds, and how many. We will also have cut up whole birds.

Most of you don’t know this but Two Daughters Bakery has been leaving a few extra items each week. Most of you don’t know this because they are gone before you get here. This week she left Caramel Apple Cupcakes in a jar. It was incredible! Rich and creamy icing over fresh apple cake with just the right amount of spice. These make a wonderful treat for you or a lovely small gift for someone else. It dangerously comes with a spoon attached so don’t tell your family you bought it just in case it does not make it home.

Amestoy Farm has an abundance of Jalapeno peppers, cayenne peppers, Okra, Bell Peppers and eggplant. He is offering them at a discounted price for bulk purchases. This is an easy way to get some extras put up for winter. I chop my bell peppers and freeze them in plastic bags. I can pull out a handful to saute when needed. The cayenne peppers make an easy and wonderful hot sauce. With gift giving season around the corner, think about making a gift from the kitchen.

We are blessed to have so many wonderful growers and producers to provide nutritious foods for us, thank you for supporting locally grown.
