Local Wines

It's been a little while since we've had a post on this blog ..... Based on other activities, we've had to miss several farmers' markets, but we did participate in the Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Fest  last weekend.  The festival is a supporter of local fiber arts and local agriculture.  Sunny Sprouts Greenhouse from West Newton was at the festival for the 1st time and we also had 2 local wineries, Thistlethwaite Vineyards & Plum Run Winery. Plum Run is know for their selection of fruit wines and they can also be found as a vendor periodically at the Main Street Farmers' Market of Washington, PA .
LFLF did make it to the Beaver Farmers' Market on Saturday, but it was POURING RAIN and it wasn't the best time to take pictures.  FYI, Robin of Ridgemont Farms was there for the first time this season with her wonderful cut flowers!

1st Ambridge Market Today!


By the time I got to the market today in Ambridge, the lettuce & asparagas was sold out, as well as most of Pat's baked goods .....
LFLF got some lovely bunches of new onions.   Just perfect for salad!  There were also bedding plants, herbs, & hanging baskets for sale.  Two of the farmers had potatoes from last fall and they looked great.  I'd expect to see rhubarb and radishes soon.
