More From Mountain Fresh!

On Saturday we spent some time talking to several vendors, but also talked with a local 4-H leader and 4-H members selling hotdogs, water & pop, and reusable market bags.  Hats off to the leaders who work with the kids and to the 4-Hers in our communities.  They have some great projects and they learn teamwork and leadership skills as they go along.   

There was a small group around the FireFly Farms table talking to the vendor and sampling cheeses.  Luckily we planned ahead and came to market with a small cooler.  It seems that more markets are featuring local meat & cheese, so come prepared!  LFLF opted for a very dry cheese, FireFly Farms Bella Vita, with plans to grate it onto pasta dishes, fresh broccoli, & cauliflower.  Apparently, this cheese has a long aging period and it will only be available for a short time before it's sold out for the season.  We'll try something different on our next visit. 

In a separate bag, of course, we picked up a bar of goats's milk soap in coconut from PugRidge Place .  Here's another 4-H project that looks like it kept growing!
