National Farmers' Market Week
|
You come for the freshness, you come for the quality, you come to support your local farmers, and to help preserve our precious farmland. But you also come for the experience - and maybe most importantly, for the sense of community. As we like to say, to "FEED YOUR SOUL." A visit to the farmers' market generally results in 15-20 social interactions; as compared to 1-2 at a grocery store. And now, more than ever, we need that. We need to gather together as a community - to spread love, kindness and peace.
See you in the circle...

Look out for upcoming collaborative cheeses by Raspberry Ridge and Valley Milkhouse! Rob and Stefanie got together to make a few batches of cheese, and they are excited to share their creations with EFM! Next week, look out for a special batch of Feta. This week...read on!
Finally - Halloumi has arrived! This Greek style grilling cheese is sweet, mild and slightly nutty and is actually grillable! The high melting point let’s you sear wedges right on a hot skillet or grill, which crisps up the surface of the cheese while leaving the center ooey gooey. A delight with tomatoes, melons, grilled zucchini and peppers, or a drizzle of honey for breakfast!
