This Week at the Market

Looks like we have a wet week ahead! The garden is loving it! We’ll have lots of fruits and veggies thriving in the spring rains and coming sunshine.
For those of you that have placed orders, we ask that if you can return containers, we would appreciate it very much! We try to reuse and recycle as much as possible so plastics and glass don’t end up in the trash. We take egg cartons, glass jars and containers and plastic containers from our food products sold. This also keeps product costs down as well! Just return when you pick up your order in a bag and set under the table.

The featured vendor this week is Springwood Cashmere Farm. Joanne and Mike have a farm in Milton where they produce 4 main products: Cashmere, soap& lotion , eggs and pinecones.
They have a breeding program of the endangered “Wood’ Bloodline of Spanish Goats which produce hand sheared cashmere.
Handmade Luxury soap and lotion produced in small batches using high-quality Essential and Fragrance oils, The tallow in these recipes has been rendered at home from fresh tallow. creating their own scent combinations. Cold Processed and air dried for 30 days in the traditional method for a high-quality product.
Eggs – they have 24 Golden Buff Comet laying hens that have been fed only organic feed since the day they arrived from the hatchery.
They sell large pine cones that drop from the plentiful pine trees on the property for the artsy people who like to create their own natural art work. Their philosophy is that if it can be used we should find a way to use it instead of throwing it away and clogging up the landfills with yard waste.
