New This Week:
|
|
Philip Horst-Landis with his sheep in Lancaster County. We'll be
receiving a big lamb shipment this week.
Make sure to ask for a sample of the remarkable
English-Style Cheddar from Otterbein Acres in Newburg, PA.
John and Lena Fisher make this cheese by hand with raw milk from
grass-fed Jersey cows. In accordance with English tradition, the
cheese is covered in lard and wrapped in muslin, then aged in their
underground cellar for four months. The result is both sharp and
earthy, rich and complex.
Keep your eyes open for two new flavors of chicken sausage from
Griggstown Quail Farm: Broccoli Rabe and Fresh Basil Sun-Dried
Tomato. Since their introduction at the stand a few weeks ago, these
flavorful sausages have been flying out of the freezer. Don't miss
out on this tasty addition to just about any meal.

 Having
started as a volunteer in 2004, Lori Ferri has become a core member
of our paid staff, and a thread of continuity for the Farmstand
in times of change and growth. Lori will be leaving us shortly to
move to New York for culinary school. We wish her the best and will
all really miss her.
One of the dozens of things that make the Fair
Food Farmstand different from most other small grocery shops is
the fact that most of our staff is volunteers. We have a handful
of paid staff, but 25 people just this week did their weekly 3-hour
volunteer 'shift' with us. That adds up to 72 hours of donated time
from a very special group of people. Though sadly there is no
photo of the lovely Lori here, at left is Jon, and below right are
Molly & J.R.
Some are students, and some are teachers. We have
a veterinary student who volunteers with her husband, who is an
environmental engineering consultant. One of our board members does
a weekly shift that she says is the most fun she has all week! One
of our volunteers is a senior in high
school (we have four dedicated high schoolers) and is in charge
of doing all the cooking for her family. We have several  musicians
and singers, and a couple of writers, one of whom runs a food blog,
and one who writes for a music blog. Many of us at the Farmstand
have a food service background, or
currently work in the industry. All of us like to cook, and yes,
we all like to talk about it.
The time, effort and spirit of our volunteers are
a true gift to the 'Stand. The many tasks that need to be done could
never be completed by our paid staff, and as a nonprofit
dedicated to education through demonstration, it gives us more time
to interact with our customers - and each other. A recent visitor
to the 'Stand declared it an "Island of warmth," thanks,
Chuck! Our shared curiosity and passion for local, sustainable and
yummy food continually motivates us to reach out even more.
