As winter approaches our produce selection diminishes. We really do offer only locally grown produce so you won’t find “local” bananas or cantaloupes. While some markets will continue to purchase these from produce vendors and sell them as ‘local’ we do not.
We do still have a few winter squash and pumpkins. And apples! We have apples from Chestnut Creek Farm. Our other previous supplier Distillery Lane Cider Works has retired. There are also still plenty of fresh potatoes from the farm. Our honey providers have completed the final harvests for the year. Often this honey is darker in color due to differing nectar sources from the spring clover and tulip poplar. Any remaining honey in the hives is left to help the bees overwinter.
Angie has continued to provide her line of baked goods and is perfecting a sour dough bread among other things. She is also excited to be able to offer sliced bread due to a new bread slicer. And check out her hot cocoa bombs – a perfect stocking stuffer gift!
It is not too early to start thinking about holiday gifts from local producers. Let us help you put together a gift basket with local cheese and Stillpoint Farm wine, or a knitters variety basket. Hand carved wooden bowls or hand dyed towels add a special touch. We still have a good supply of yarn – dyed and natural in worsted weight, fingering weight perfect for socks or mittens, and a silk blend. We also still have some white sheep skins – perfect for snuggling in to on a chilly fall evening.
