I visited Krista at Harrington Lane Farm on Sunday afternoon! We visited animals and bought pork chops for dinner! Krista has one problem, her freezers are full at the moment. I told her that you could help her with that problem. So now we have a SALE on Ground Pork, Pork Roasts, Pork Chops and Bulk Pork Boxes!

Here are a few more items of note:

• We have Salad Greens available! Arugula and Asian Mix are available from Bowman's Organic Produce 
• Add fresh organic herbs to your meals! Brenda Knechtel has grown Parsley, Cilantro and Basil Plants for us! Try the Lemon Basil on pasta, fresh cheese or grilled fish!
  
• Monforte Dairy has sheep milk flowing! This week they have lots of fresh cheese including:
  • Halloumi - A whey poached sheep cheese that can be fried in a bit of oil and will go crispy and brown.
  • Belle: Cream cheese from sheep's milk, can replace chèvre wonderfully.  We have it in flavoured variations like the Blossom and Sheep Dip
