We hope everyone has stayed safe and warm through these snowy days. We are planning to have our regularly scheduled market on Friday, rain or shine! It will likely be a little slushy and mucky, so dress accordingly.
Place your preorders now so you can move through market easily and quickly as you stock back up on local goodness during our bi-weekly Winter market!
A few notes for 2/5:
- Flying Plow continues to be PREORDER ONLY for now. They may have some extra on Friday for walk-up sales but can't guarantee. If you want their greens, roots, etc—please preorder by midnight TONIGHT!
- Did you catch Deer Creek Malthouse on WHYY Movers & Makers last week? The Grain Chain is definitely worth a watch to learn more about local grain production, Deer Creek's role in the chain and our role as consumers. Small Valley Milling is also featured, which is a source of grain and flour for both Deer Creek and Brandywine Valley Bread!
- Canter Hill Farm is back! Get the makings for your favorite Super Bowl chili and wings!
