Lordy Lordy Lord the winter has passed quickly. (a southern thing I guess) Well, the months of living off of last year’s stockpiled nuts is over.   This Saturday, April 18th marks the beginning of the market season for us.  Zac and I will be in our usual places this Saturday morning and hope that you will be too.  Wednesday afternoon market (by the co-op) will begin on April 29th.  For ease of reference, our schedule is:
 
UNCA Tailgate Market beginning April 18th
Saturdays 8am-12pm
 
Asheville City Market beginning April 18th
Saturdays 8am-1pm
 
Wednesday Afternoon Downtown Tailgate Market beginning April 29th
Wednesdays 2pm- 6pm
 
Delivery to Asheville Stores:
Wednesdays before 2pm.
 
-We plan to be bringing the usual assortment of breads and unusual assortment of pastries.  One new item that I’m particularily into right now is a Buckwheat-Cacao Cookie.  I urge you to give it a try. It will be accompanied by a Cornmeal cookie made from John McEntire’s Heirloom Corn, grown locally in Old Fort.  
-We will be taking orders every week for freshly stone-ground flours, milled in our bakery every friday afternoon for Saturday pick-up.  (We want you to bake for yourself.) 
-We are also currently working on returnable(w/deposit) bread bags.  They are drawstring bags made of unbleached cotton.  We hope to have this system going by the beginning of summer for market sales. 
-And……we will be bringing our first batches of house-made kraut.  Made from locally grown cabbage, these krauts are young and krisp, not sour and soggy.  They are damn good with Rye Bread and Lusty Monk Mustard.
