It's holiday time!

Thinking of giving local gifts this holiday season? We can help!

From custom Gift Baskets to Maple samplers and Christmas Cookies we have a great selection for you! Do you know anyone that you would like to honour with a gift, but they already have everything? Consider giving a gift of local food! We can work with you to customize gift baskets at any price! Consider adding candles, chocolate, cheese and more! For the gift that lasts all year you can give a Bailey's Membership and we will add a jar of Peaches in syrup to sweeten the deal.

Kevin at Snyder Heritage Farm is making boxed maple samplers! for $30 you get four 125 mL bottles (light, medium and amber maple syrup plus granulated maple sugar) which any maple lover will enjoy!

Don't forget that at the three December pickups (1st, 15th and 22nd) we have invited local artisans to bring their work to you! Invite a friend and shop for gifts for you or others while you pick up your order. Feel free to share the facebook event! Know a crafter or maker that has something to offer? Invite them to apply to join us!

Stay warm this week,
Rachael

How to prepare and eat Sweet Chestnuts:

Eat fresh using a paring knife to cut off the skin and fibrous covering
Boil - Place sweet chestnuts into a pot with cool tap water. Cover pot while boiling and stir occasionally on medium high for:

medium size - 10-12 min
large size 15-20 min
Using a slotted spoon scoop out a few nuts at a time and as soon as they are cool enough to handle, but still hot, cut them in half and pop them out of their skins.

Roast - First pierce the skin to allow hot air to escape while cooking. Use a sharp paring knife to cut a slash or an "X" through the skin, but not the nut meat. The larger the cut the easier it will be to peel.

Chestnut Pan - Roast them by shaking the pan over medium heat for 20 minutes.
Microwave oven - place a dozen chestnuts around a microwave plate and cook on high for 4 minutes
Oven - Place chestnuts on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with water. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Place one uncut chestnut on the sheet with the others. When it "pops" they are ready to eat.

Enjoy!
