PFM Sep 27
In celebration of the beginning of the fall, tomorrow we will have our annual Fibers Festival featuring local spinners and wool products. Angels Wool Farm will return with their delightful angora rabbits. This is a great event for children and families and children will have a chance to try their hand at spinning wool! We will have several other local spinners with lots of wool products. The weather may be a little damp, but we will set up extra tents so that everyone can enjoy the day and stay dry!
Music this week will be by the foot stomping Joe Hillman band- be sure to wear your dancing shoes to the market!
What a week we have had- such unsettled economic times and contaminated Chinese formula. In times like these, “Think globally act locally” seems particularly relevant. There is little we can do to make sweeping change in the world, but we can take small, significant steps to nurture our own local economy that reflects our values of healthy food and healthy communities. As we enter a period of probable economic slow down, how can we make the most of our food dollars while still eating healthful, local food? Here are a few suggestions. 1. Use the tops of those beautiful beets and turnips. We have a few recipes to help at the end of this email to help. 2. Buy cheaper cuts of meat and slow roast them until they are fork tender and delicious. 3. Buy a whole chicken. You can get 2 meals for a family from a single chicken. With just a little effort (and a sharp knife) you can cut breasts off of a whole chicken for a stirfry or other recipe, then use the remaining carcass to make stock. You will have lots of meat on the thighs, leg and back for a hearty chicken soup or a chicken pot pie.
We encourage you to BYOB – bring your own bag — and if you do, you can enter a raffle to win Market Dollars that you can spend with any vendor. Starting this Saturday, each week that you BYOB to the market, stop by the market table and fill out a raffle. Each week we will draw a winner and hand over the market money!
