I rolled into the Sweetwater Local Foods Market rather late this week. It runs 9-1 during the winter season and I got there about 11:30. As a result, some items were sold out.
I still ended up with most of what I had on my list. I picked up some raw milk Gouda from Grassfields, a couple of pastured pork chops from Creswick Farms and a dozen eggs from Happy Hill Farm. I picked up a quart of milk on the way home and I'm in good shape.
In hindsight, I would have liked to have picked up some stuffing mix from Earthly Kneads - especially since it was half off - to have with the chops. Oh well. They'll still be good with potatoes.
On another subject, I spent a few minutes this week trying to locate a source for locally-made butter and I struck out.
I wonder why that is - is there some sort of regulation that makes the production of artisan (for lack of a better word) butter uneconomical or illegal?
I plan to do some more looking - I still have a few sticks of regular butter left, so time is on my side. There is always the organic stuff available at Meijer I guess.
