Independence,VA:  The Market is open for orders to be delivered Friday December 11th

Friends of the Market,
Thanks to all of you who ordered trees and wreaths online or purchased them at our 2 Winter Markets. The weather was amazing and we all had fun. Carol Lundgrun won the raffle for the Weigand table and Sandra Colston won the Chili-Cookoff. Technical difficulties did not allow Chef Jen Cavey to compete, so we’ll see what happens next year. The parade was a blast-thanks Will, Kat and Sandra for joining me.
The online Market will be CLOSED Friday December 25th and Friday January 1st, so plan to stock up for the Holidays. Last pickup will be Friday December 18th and the 1st pickup of 2015 will be January 8th.
Isn’t it great to have all the produce on the Market! Just a reminder, the Market closes to orders at 8 pm Wednesday evening. If you have questions, feel free to email me at independencefarmersmarket.org or call 276-768-0597. Please bring cash or checks. You’ll still be dealing with each individual vendor.
Happy shopping! Here are the links:http://independencefarmersmarket.locallygrown.net/market/
you can also get there from the webpage, www.independencefarmersmarket.org
Thanks and hope to see you Friday!

Lake Placid Online Farmer's Market:  December Market Now Open!

Hello everyone,

Happy December! There was a bit of snow in Lake Placid, and it’s finally starting to feel more like winter. With winter comes the Holiday season, and time to spend time with loved ones and enjoy delicious farm fresh local food. While all of the items on sale are wonderful and high quality, here are some recommended items to start the holiday season off right.

Looking for a gift? Rehoboth’s honey is some of the best I’ve ever tasted, and beautiful. It has not been heated to prevent crystallization or to make pouring into jars easier, so retains its natural healthy enzymes. When it crystallizes it is actually easier to use. We use wide-mouth canning jars so you can just use a dinner knife to scoop some out and spread – no drips!!!! It is not crystallized yet, but being natural it will. Beth from Rehoboth considers that a good thing, as long as it is in a straight-sided jar.

Rehoboth Sale Notice!

Rehoboth Homestead has their wonderfully sweet Candy onions on half price sale. These are great, but not long keepers so she wants to get them frozen or eaten. Some of them are developing a mushy ring or two as they age. Beth says it is hard to tell without cutting them open. Some she set aside for their use thinking they would have mushy rings and they were perfect. Others feel hard and perfect and have a mushy interior ring. Beth says she just scoops the mushy ring out, rinses the rest, and slices it for use. Chopped onion freezes really well. For county fair, the 4-H moms chopped and froze onions for Michigans, and when thawed the onions were “fresh” and crisp.

This may be the last month for lettuce. Rehoboth Homestead has packs of wonderful teenage lettuce. She has seven varieties in her hoophouse, and gives you three different types in a bag. She also has lettuce salad mix.

Aasgard also has great products available as always. Why not buy some handmade caramels or soap for stocking stuffers?

Aasgard Sale Notice!

And for that holiday party appetizer, take advantage of their December buy one get one free deal on creamy Barkeater Buche & Whiteface Mountain cheeses!

Please place all orders by Monday at 5 pm, at which time the market will be closed so as to give the farmers time to put together their orders in time for Wednesday’s order pick up day at Lake Placid Skate Shop.

Hope to see you for the market, and as always feel free to email any questions to lponlinefarmersmarket@gmail.com.

Have a good weekend!
