New Dairy Supplier!
South Mountain Dairy has pulled out of our area. Sadly, there is NO dairy in Virginia that delivers in our area so we found a dairy that does, Oberweis Dairy, out of Vinita Park, MO - www.oberweis.com. Check them out for yourself.  Oberweis dairy purchases milk from family cows on their dairy farms. The dairy cows are NOT treated with synthetic rBGH hormones and their farmers are paid a premium based on the measurable quality of the milk they produce. Tankers pick up milk daily and deliver to the dairy planet where milk is pasteurized, homogenized and bottled.

Oberweis Dairy is proud to have their milk certified as kosher by the Chicago Rabbinical Council. Home delivery may be available.
Here are some of the products we are now carrying from them:
Milk, lemonade, iced tea, yogurts (drinkable), sour cream, cottage cheese, butter (including European Butter - Plugra), French  onion dip.

Ice Cream in Pints and individual servings in Ice Cream tubes! We've ordered a little of these to see if our customers want us to continue to carry them.

Please give us your feedback and let us know how you like these products. We STILL need a Virginia dairy that delivers here!

Sept. 25-27 - Local Zone Art and Music Fest
Our annual event with celebrating local foods, drink, art and music! This year we are adding Back to Books Sale, to raise money for the market. Bring back reading!
Let's Get Back to Books! 

With our busy lives and hectic schedules, we've turned to technology as our main source for information. From looking up recipes online to using T.V. and video games as our entertainment, books have taken a backseat in society.

 

The Five Points Community Farm Market would like to help you rekindle your love for reading, whether it's for information, education or for fun. We'll be having a book fair during our Home Grown Local Zone Festival on September 25 and 26 with a huge variety of books avail-able for purchase, from children's books to cooking and gardening to fiction, non-fiction and everything in between.

 

You can help!

Please donate used books to the Information Desk at the farm market between now and the book fair. Any contribution, whether it's one book or 20 books will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at the book fair!



Sustainable Living Fair - Feb 25-27, 2011

Fresh This Week
Fresh This Week
This week look for: (*CSA)

*Green Beans - Think ahead- buy by the bushel and can or freeze - great for soups and stews in the winter months!
*Crowder Peas (a smaller black-eyed pea)
Scuppernong Grapes
Asian Pears (if they're ready)
*Tree ripened Yellow Peaches
Donut Peaches (super sweet)
*Eggplant
White Corn

Herbs - variety
Green Tomatoes

Look for special bushel prices on produce. Take home and freeze some of the bounty of summer for soups and stews during the winter - same with the tomatoes. We're working on scheduling a couple more Canning Classes and Sq. Ft. Garden Classes so you can get your fall produce started.

Remember if you don't see what you are looking for, put in in the Request Book and we'll find it for you and call you when it's in!
