Fall Visit To The Spring-House

The Spring-House in Eighty-Four, PA

LFLF made a trip down to the Eighty-Four Livestock Auction today and then popped over across the street to have lunch at The Spring-House.  The signs are up and the flyers are out for Thanksgiving - you can order fresh turkeys and lots of other homemade food for the holiday.  Keeping with the spirit, I had an open-faced hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes & turkey gravy ... mmmmmm!
After lunch we browsed the store and also picked up some thick bacon.

Pie Pumpkins & Gourds With A Crabapple Garland!  

 Coming around past the gourds & pie pumpkins was this wonderful variety of winter squash, aka "Grumpy Frumpy Pumpkins"!  They're always my favorite for display and then they can be used for cooking.

The Spring-House is loaded with all kinds of home-made and local baked goods, candy, honey, and other canned goods.  Here are some of the all natural breads on display ...

Finally, here's a picture of the dairy case ... after all, this is The Spring-House and it all started as a dairy farm!

Report From LFLF Roadtrip

Keepin' It Local - Morganza , MD

Your intrepid reporter of all things local, LFLF brings back another view of what Keepin' It Local means!   You can't pass up this great store without stopping.  The proprietors have the shop packed with local produce, meats, dairy products, baked goods, candies, preserves, art work, crafts, collectibles, and antiques! 

Keepin' It Local - Fresh Produce Out Front

We were making a quick stop for some meat to grill and picked up a ham slice and lamb chops, but you couldn't help but admire the produce on the way in ... 

Keepin' It Local - More Inside

We picked up some dinner rolls from the selection of baked goods - they were moist & wonderful, almost like a sweet potato bread or Hawaiian bread.   A little bag of roasted rosemary cashews rounded out our haul for the day.

Now looking back at the pictures, I wish that we had picked up the pound cake too.  ;)
