A Trip To Sewickley!

Pisarcik Greenhouse & Flower Farm At Sewickley Farmers' Market
LFLF made a loop on Saturday.  We needed something to take to a poetry reading & potluck lunch nearby & I knew that the Sewickley Farmers' Market was open for the season.  They would certainly have some delicious baked goods!  I picked up some great cookies and then did a little shopping for myself.

The flowers & herbs were really nice and there were also tomato plants at the market if you're in the mood to coddle them for another month!  :)
Gray Farm Mushrooms
We picked up some mushrooms at the Gray Farm booth and then got some pea shoots at the Dillner Family Farm booth.
Dillner Family Farm Produce
Several other vendors were there with lettuce & greens, honey, beef, and yarn!  Of course all of the prepared food vendors were out in force!  It turned out to be a nice day after early morning rain ...

2 More Sewickley Vendors!

Wonderful Selection At Kohut Rooster Hill Farm & Greenhouse!
One of the regular vendors at the Sewickley Farmers' Market is Rooster Hill Farm & here is Jeff Kohut with a group of shrubs that he's raised, most that he grows on from cuttings.   You can expect to find items that you won't fnd in the big box stores, including his own line of pottery.  If you'd like to visit their quaint retail greenhouse shop, it can be found along US Route 30 West of Clinton, PA at the corner of Platt Road & US Route 30 .... lots of perennials, shrubs, & trees for sale at great fall prices!
Underhill Farm Artisan Yarns ....
Talk about serendipity ..... on Saturday morning I had recieved an email blast from PASA about farmers' markets in Western Pa and had clicked on the link for the Somerset County Farmers' Market.  LFLF was involved in the start up of that market as a Penn State Extension Educator, & I took a quick look at their current vendor list.   This was the first time that I had heard of Underhill Farm & I was pleased to see that the SCFM had a yarn vendor on board.  Imagine my surprise to see that same farm at the Sewickley market last weekend!   

Underhill Farm Yarn Close-up!
The Underhill Farm Leicester Longwool/Mohair blend artisan yarns have a wonderful luster as you hold them up in the sunlight!   As the weather cools own, the local yarns are back on the front burner for fall & winter projects ......
