New This Week:


Spicy baby arugula

We will be getting some new cheeses from CHERRY GROVE FARM, their Harvest Toma, Provolone, and 'Jersey Giovane' – their version of a fresh Mozzarella!

PARADISE ORGANICS comes through, again! Did you catch any of that beautiful Rainbow Swiss Chard last week? It's back Friday afternoon! Along with Green Kale, Collard and Mustard Geens! The supply isn't large, so come and get it while you can.

Remember WEAVER'S ORCHARD? We'll again be getting apples from them starting this week. As of Thursday, we'll have Pink Ladies, Crispin/Mutsu & Stayman Winesap. Many thanks to Mark Wieand for picking them up for us!

And last, but certainly not least, we have arugula from LANDISDALE FARM. Also in limited quantity, it will arrive Saturday AM.

Message From Sarah Cain, Farmstand Co-Manager:

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you from everyone at the Farmstand! We all hope you had wonderful holidays, filled with lots of local delicious-ness! Speaking of delicious, we'd love to get submissions from you, our very talented customers, for our recipe section. We know you’re making wonderful dishes with the local farm products you buy at the 'Stand (we know because we hear you talking about it), and we'd love to get some of your recipes for this email. Send them to us!

Our big news is that we are very happy to start the year off with my new Co-Manager, Ruth Holbrook. She may be a familiar face to many of you, as she is a long-time volunteer and worker at the 'Stand. Next week we'll have her tell you a little bit more about herself. Please say, "Hi," and introduce yourselves to her if you haven't already met.
