LFLF Discovers The Two Fraus Bakery !

Springfest In Harmony, PA

LFLF was set up as a vendor at the 2015 Harmony Fiber Arts Festival & Market yesterday in historic Harmony, PA.  When you're a vendor (alter ego Wild Rose Farm!), you can't leave your booth for long and it's always a test to find food & drinks nearby.  A fellow vendor came back with a little brown bag of wonderful looking baked goods, so the search was on!   A quick inquiry & LFLF was out the back door and around the bend following the signs ...
Tucked in the Bottlebrush Gallery we found the energetic owners of The Two Fraus Bakery!

The Two Fraus Bakery - Try Our Lavender Infused Cookies! 

The owners are passionate (or crazy in a good sense!) about sourcing natural and LOCAL ingredients for their scratch baking.  They are wholesale bakers and their goodies can be found at local businesses by checking out their web-site, www.twofraus.com   We enjoyed  the Lavender shortbread cookies & a lemon thyme scone.  Yum!

The Two Fraus Bakery Customers - So Hard To Decide!

I should have made a list of the offerings.  They were "show casing" their herbal recipes in keeping with the Harmony Museum's Annual Herb & Garden Fair, but they have a great selection of more traditional breads & cookies offered at their retail vendor customers - one of which is the Wunderbar Coffee House in Harmony, PA.
BTW - we need to make a trip back to Harmony to fully explore the Bottlebrush Gallery in background of these pics!   A gallery with a mission of "supporting local arts" ...

Local Herb & Garden Fair

Herb & Garden Fair In Harmony, PA - Vendor With Herbal Teas

LFLF stumbled upon a nice little local garden fair on Saturday.  The town of Harmony, PA was in festival mode when we passed by.  It was close to closing at the Harmony Museum Herb & Garden Fair and we came away with a couple of packs of marigold plants and some potted herbs.  This festival will be on the agenda for next year!  In addition to the vendors outside, the festival has a plant swap in the barn.  It works like this ... you show up with your potted plants and the folks put a dollar value and color code on them.  The sign even says that there is a drive-thru lane for drop off & pick up!  :)  You then have credit dollars to shop in the swap.  If you don't bring plants - no problem - you just pay the amount assigned to the plants at the check out table based on the color code.  The ladies manning the table told me to be there earlier next year ... double :).  Parking might be a little tight early on, but there is also a shuttle van running from "downtown" Harmony to the barn over the creek & outside of town.  There were about a dozen vendors outside, food in the barn, and Penn State Master Gardeners manning a question & answer booth.
