Beeswax At BFM!

Beeswax Brick From McCormack Apiaries

LFLF forgot to take the camera last Saturday, so I snapped a couple of pictures at home.  Then I promptly forgot to make a post ...  anyhow, better late than never. 
I have a project coming up that calls for waxed jute, sisal, or linen twine, so I needed some beeswax.  Of course, McCormack Apiaries was there at the Beaver Farmers' Market with their full line of honey & beeswax products. 
We also grabbed some green onions and a small bag of cookies (they didn't make it to the picture!).
Not sure which market we'll get to tomorrow.  We have errands to run that will take us in the other direction & past the Sewickley Farmers' Market.  Stay tuned ... we haven't been there yet this year.

Beaver Farmer's Market Opens



Enon Country Garden - Lots of Potted Plants

The Beaver Farmer's Market opened today for another season in the parking lot behind the Beaver County Courthouse.  There were lots of shoppers for plants and hanging baskets ..... Mother's Day tomorrow probably had something to do with that!  Vendors today included Wood Street Bakery with their excellent breads, McCormack Apiaries with honey & beeswax products, Littell Fudge, and Pat's Pastries.  Greenhouse potted plants, herbs, veggie flats & Amish baked goods rounded out the selection.
AND ........ we had sunshine for a change! 

Rhubarb Plants & Herbs

Honey From Locals

We picked up some honey at our local grocery store from McCormack Apiaries this week. Honey is a great sweetener for herbal & spiced hot tea at this time of year. We usually see McCormacks at the Beaver & Ambridge Farmers' Markets "in season" and they have a great display.

We've also noticed various "local" honeys at feed stores & at hardware stores around the region.

Next to our honey bear is a winter squash ..... it also tastes good baked with honey or brown sugar, but that's for tomorrow!
