LOCAL FOODS:

New this season! Spring Gap Mountain Creamery: Penny will have four sensational cheeses this week: Jersey Gold – smooth and creamy gouda, perfect for snacking or for grilled cheese sandwiches; Shenandoah Sunrise – southern French-style farmstead cheese, great for a cheese plate with bread and fresh fruit; Sophie’s Select – medium-sharp cloth-wrapped cheddar; Farmhouse Feta – aged five months for a distinct tanginess.

People’s Bao: Peter has Chinese steamed edamame buns with tender, slow roasted free range pork. And new this season – baked taro chips with edamame purée and creme brûlée made with local farms’ eggs and creme.

Pleasant Pops: Ben will be serving up four terrific flavors to kick-off the season: Cookies and Cream, Honey Lavender Cream, Strawberry Ginger Lemonade, & Cranberry Apple. *New this season, Pleasant Pops is locally sourcing their lavender from Seven Oaks Lavender Farm of Virginia.

Quaker Valley Orchards: Apples – Honeycrisp, Fuji, Stayman, and Pink Ladies. Cider, apple chips, sauce and butter. Tomato sauce, jams in blueberry, strawberry, blackberry and peach. Honey and popcorn.

Ned Atwater does slow fermentation with carefully tended starters and wild yeast, organic stone ground flour from a family mill in North Carolina.
