Slow Spring

Despite all the rain, we have been taking advantage of the sunny days to get ready for the market and to keep making progress in the garden. This past week we did more planting and enjoyed the flowering trees.

Lots of cabbage!

Sour cherry tree beginning to bloom...Bev's sour cherry pies are to die for!

Radish seeds

Tomatoes ready to be sold at the market!

If you have never had Jeni's ice cream then you are definitely missing out. Jeni's ice cream was started in Columbus by...Jeni...and she focuses using fresh and local ingredients. She gets her cream solely from Snowville Creamery in Ohio. (We buy only Snowville milk and it is delicious and not homogenized and it is pasteurized at a very low temperature. The cows are also pasture raised which we really support!) The flavors of the ice cream are unique and above, Anne enjoyed a cone of Wildberry Lavender and Savannah Buttermint. I can't say enough wonderful things about Jeni's and so when you come by our farm stand or go to the market, swing into Chagrin Falls to go to their brand new location by the falls!

Speaking of eating local ice cream, we wanted to share with you another way we support local food. Every week we get eggs from a small farm on Music Street and they are amazing. Their shells are beautiful shades of greens, blues and browns, and the yolks are a bright yellow that you can't match in an egg from the store. These eggs are organic and free range, and most importantly the chickens are raised humanely and right down the street from us!
