South Royalton Market

We got in a small batch of locally grown (East Randolph) fresh Cascade hops at the end of last week – they are wonderfully aromatic and perfect for your Harvest Ales and Fall IPA’s – but there are only about 15 ounces left. $1.89/ounce, first come, first served!

If anyone else has some local home-grown hops they would like to sell to the Market, contact me either at the store or by email (homebrew@soromarket.com).

Cheers!

-Scott, the Home Brew Guru

Thanks to all local growers and home gardeners who donated food to local food shelves on Tuesday, July 27. Almost 95 pounds of fresh vegetables went to local food shelves.

Donors include: Chap Farm, Luna Bleu Farm, Balla MacCrea Farm, and home-growers Kevin and  Josie and Marc.

Do you learn best by doing? Want to learn more about food preservation so that you can eat local throughout the year?

If your answer is ‘yes,’ then come to a hands-on canning workshop on Tuesday, July 27 at 6:00 p.m. in the Market kitchen. You will make a jar of dilly beans (fresh green beans pickled in vinegar with fresh dill and garlic), learn how to seal the jar in a hot water bath, and take home the results. What’s more, you can apply your canning skills to other vegetables as the summer bounty continues.

The instructor is Elizabeth Ferry, Education and Community Outreach Coordinator at the Market. Elizabeth is a long-time gardener who eats home-grown food every day of the year.

The cost of the one-hour workshop is $10 and includes all materials. Pre-registration and pre-payment are required. Come in to the store to sign up!

Beautiful big, flavorful local strawberries from Four Corners Farm in the Upper Valley town of South Newbury are here!
