Carolina Foothills, SC:  Weblog Entry

Hello,

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up,
I spent last week having issues with my bank going in circles.

I was forced to close my old account and open a new one today. I checked my bank statement hoping to see if everything cleared but honestly there were several items from 2 weeks ago that I couldn’t find…..

If anyone is still holding a check I have written PLEASE bring this to my attention and I will rewrite a new check under the new account.

Also, if anyone wrote me a check and an issue arises concerning it and cashing please bring this to my attention as well.

Thank You,

Susan.

Sorry guys, I was assured when I opened this account everything was fine and no problems would arise when I voiced my original concerns but clearly I was misinformed.

Joyful Noise Acres Farm:  The JNA Farm market is open for ordering.

What a beautiful week we have had! I think I could live without 25 degree mornings but at least we are not in New York or Boston and buried under feet of snow. The hyacinths and buttercups are peeking out and I am eagerly awaiting spring.

Farm Fresh Foods has been busy in the kitchen. She uses as much local produce and fruit as possible when working her wonder in the kitchen. Last week she made spinach pasties, the original portable food, and they were beautiful. Paired with a salad or bowl of soup and dinner is on.

Simply Oh! has several soaps and creams to treat our dry skin this time of year. Sometimes it is just hard to drink enough water making it important to use the highest quality lotions and cleansers on our skin to moisturize and cleanse.

For those working out or just working hard, Good Shepherd Herbals has a wonderful salve, Trauma Balm, that is warming a healing to sore muscles. They also have Itch Salve, Beulah Balm for problem skin and Rash Relief. All these balms are made with organic ingredients with emphasis on the natural healing properties of each herb.

We look forward to seeing you Wednesday and thank you for buying local!

Blessings,
Mary Beth

ORDERING:

New item: Grass Fed Alpaca
Alpacas have been in the US since 1884 but North Americans are just now discovering this tasty and nutritious meat. Alpaca meat has been described at one of Carrell Farm’s tastings as “pork without the pig”. It has a texture very similar to pork with a mild sweet flavor. It is one of the leanest meat and very low in cholesterol. The ground alpaca makes great burgers or meatloaf. Mix it with ground water buffalo for a Swedish meatball you just can’t get anywhere else! Like all good grassfed meats, it is best cooked medium rare. Try it this week

If you do NOT receive a confirmation email immediately after you placed your order, then your items are still in your cart and your order is not complete. All orders must be placed by 5pm on Sunday.
