Farm-to-Table
Weekly Circulator

Spring is a comin'

No Deliveries this week or next. Taking a break for end of February and for Town Meeting Day!!!!

Good Afternoon Farm-to-Table Participants,

Again... we are not delivering this week or next. However, if you are in dire need of food, or a product, please contact me at 595.1325 and just ask. I will be around to make some deliveries if need be.

We are coming along with our growers production plan for the 2012 growing season. We are going to have an enormous amount of food grown for Farm-to-Table this year. We are anticipating being able to cover all of your institutional needs. Look out for FTT being Central VT's most reliable distributor for fresh local foods.

Also, Please take the time to fill out the NOFA survey you have probably received, so that we can understand better what you'd like our farmers to grow, and how you would like the food to arrive at your institution!

I would like to mention also, Farm-to-Table is in the process of REVITALIZING our Buying Clubs. As some of you know, when i started working with Farm-to-Table in the fall, i helped to initiate this new online ordering system, website, and newsletter. With this transition of leadership, technology, and crop reduction, the buying clubs were very challenging to maintain, both on our end here, and your end, financially. However, we are almost ready to launch our new "buying club" program this month (hopefully). This new system will still require a "club manager" whose responsibilities would be far less demanding than previously. Every member of the "club" will be able to log on to the website, place their own order, receive their own box of food, and their own invoice, all at one central distribution point. Keep your eyes and ears out for more information!!

Back to the food... This week we will have 10 dozen eggs. Get em quick, before they're gone!

We have a fresh batch of Spirit Hill Farms Granola. (seriously, we do! i promise)

YELLOW ONIONS AND RED ONIONS ARE BACK!! We have secured our final crop of yellow onions for the winter season. There is plenty for home, for school, for your kitchen or cafateria or food shelf! Get em while there.. still fresh?

And Finally, the most important thing to add. We LOVE having you as customers. Keep buying this fresh local food from us. This next growing season is going to be an amazing one!

In gratitude

Daniel Stein

A localized take on an age-old recipe. Since chickpeas don’t grow well in our neck of the woods, but hummus is a food that was so dear to me, I took some time to develop a surrogate bean spread that lends the same savoriness and texture to all the cuisines hummus is at home in.
