LFLF Finds Foodie Stash!

All winter long, we have been reading email updates from the Main Street Farmers' Market of Washington, PA.   They have been able to extend the local food season through the generosity of the local florist.   The Ivy Green is located along the parking lot that hosts the farmers' market "in season".  In the off-season, the market vendors have been bringing their specialties to The Ivy Green where they can be purchased throughout the week.  While passing through "Little Washington" last Friday, LFLF grabbed the opportunity to stop and shop!  We found a nice selection of local items including heads of hydroponic lettuce, cheeses, breads, chicken, canned & frozen beef, jams & jellies, & baked goods.  
We left with farmers' cheese & biscotti, but you could have had any of these great items ..... mmmmmm!
Cheeses from Emerald Valley Farm.
Canned & frozen beef from Strath an De Farm.
Fresh baked breads from The Wood Street Bread Company.
Soup mixes and frozen chickens from Tally Hollow Farm, a project of Sustaining Greene County.  We first met up with the Sustaining Green County non-profit in 2005 and it's been interesting watching the farm & projects develop.    
I'll bet everyone is waiting for the farmers' market to open for the 2010 season. Thanks to the folks at The Ivy Green for allowing LFLF to take pictures and share!
