Local Bounty Update

| January 9, 2014

Local Bounty Shoppers: We hope you all survived the biting cold of this past week. Maybe you enjoyed a “cold” day off work? Or, maybe you enjoyed more time with college kids before they headed back? No matter what you did, we hope you stayed warm. Now that the end of the week is here, it just might warm up enough to enjoy a walk at the park or fire up the grill. Crazy.

I hope everyone has begun to warm up after that extreme cold we had! We added extra bedding to the goat shed and chicken coop and all was well, they sure are hardy, my goats were out prancing around in it! This week at the market I will have my French Bread and Italian Rolls. I will also have GARLIC NAAN on Friday 🙂  a new batch of Wine Jelly will be available as well, new flavors and all! Stop by and say Hi on Friday morning and enjoy some wine jelly samples.

Keene Creek Farm

Want your family to eat an entire bag of spinach or kale in one meal? Here’s a recipe that we make up – Cream of Spinach Soup. Of course, we add sausage to it (our bratwurst sausage squeezed out of the casing). It is absolutely delicious and protein packed. If there is kale in the market this week, substitute it for spinach. Yum. We are sad to report that all of our bacon is gone from this last batch of pigs. There will be more ready in late January/early February. Along with more brats (cheese and mild Italian) and more little piggies sausage links. All of our livestock survived the extreme cold. We bedded our youngest piggies down in the barn (they entertained themselves by listening to their grunts echo through the barn).

Wholesome Valley Farm

Due to a continued decline in milk sales, we will no longer provide freshly bottled milk (cow and goat) to Local Bounty. We were blown away at how much sold at first, but have seen such a sharp decline in the last few months that keeping it in stock (fresh every week) just isn’t realistic any more. We are still going to have all of our other products at the market – including our cow and goat cheeses, potatoes, and syrup. Thanks for understanding.

 

Windy Hill Berry Farm & Vineyard

Martin’s memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 18, 12:00 noon, at the Presbyterian Church of Coshocton with calling hours one hour prior.

Egg Note

We learned late this week that Terese with Windy Hill Berry Farm has sold all of her laying hens. Many of you rely on her for those delicious farm-fresh eggs she provided. She is asking the person who purchased them if they want to sell at Local Bounty. We have already put our feelers out for additional egg vendors. And, we ask for your patience in advance as we fill the gap if they decide not to vend.

 

See you at the market this week!
