Waiting For Slow Food!

Dalton Dari-ette - Our Choice!
LFLF has been quite busy lately & has not been "in town" lately to shop the local farmers' markets.  But that doesn't stop us from supporting local businesses.  We were returning from the Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster, Ohio on Saturday when we decided to try the Dalton Dari-ette on US Route 30.  We were not disappointed.  You place your order and are given a number to hold.  You can wait in your car or just wait around outside.  When your order is ready, they hang your number in the side window.  When you see your number posted, go to any window to pick up your order and turn in your number plaque ......
Dalton Dari-ette is NOT Fast Food!
We had a BBQ sandwich, fries, a cheesburger with mustard & onions, & a side of onion rings with a nice light batter breading.   Mmmmmm.
Bonus - right behind the parking lot is a pole building shelter where the Amish park a buggy & sell local produce in season ..... or as this weekend, hanging baskets & flats of annuals & veggie plants!

Beaver Farmers' Market Opening Day!

Beaver County Farmers Market Are Open!
What a beautiful day for the Beaver Farmers' Market to open!  Sunny & high 50's today.
We saw lots of hanging baskets, bedding plants, herbs, & veggie plants for the gardeners.  New vendors at Beaver included a local winery and a local beef producer.  More on them in upcoming weeks when LFLF gets a chance to talk to them!
Beautiful Violets & Mint for Derby Day!
Of course, farmer Becky had her bunches of mint ready for Kentucky Derby Day Mint Juleps.
She also had violets to transplant into your lawn or garden .... that should bring a smile to your face in the spring time!
Fresh Carrots ..............
LFLF picked up some carrots, ginger snaps, & peanut butter cookies today .....
