Hello Folks!
Spring is contemplating an arrival soon, and all sorts of produce, fish and other goods are making their way to us a tad early with the mild, wet winter we have had. Root vegetables have been huge, and that is always welcome. To update the offerings available please see below.

One of the coolest things is Sarah's House of Clay, (and the We Will Be Happy Bakers- neat-) are cooking up some yummy treats for those with gluten sensitivies!
They will have gluten-free baked goods this Saturday!
Banana Date Nut, Chocolate Chip, and Pumpkin Muffins will be on hand.
Also breads:
Millet Sorghum Sandwich Bread, Brioche, Practically Pumpernickel and Boule will be interesting to try...
Always better to know where your goods are coming from!
Learning more about gluten sensitiviy, intolerance, and allergies is good for everyone. More and more folks are dealing with it in some form, either temporarily or permanently. It behooves one to be aware of what options are available. Odds are, someone; a family member, friend, co-worker, or acquaintance will need some accomodation at table one time or another.
Sarah's House of Clay has a workshop locally, offers pottery classes, and all kinds of beautiful, durable, and glazed clay goods. They have everything from plates and spoonrests to buttons.
Keep an eye out for developments in the Local Food movement! These are good times!
Happy Local Shopping!
