Your Source for Sustainable Food & FLOWERS
By golly, another PERFECT market day coming up this week!
Let's celebrate community - especially this week. These COOL MORNINGS simply call out for that first or second cup of java at the market or perhaps ice cream, chai , snow cone or sparkly sips like fruit soda and kombucha!
Your outdoor grocer is ready for you this week - vendor highlights are below! As we wrap up National Farmers Market Week, it is simply a source of immense joy to make a market list that is full of basics like butter, yogurt and milk as well as an endless array of veggies, fruit and meat for a week's worth of the best eating a kitchen may offer!
Along with the crazy, ridiculously scrumptious EDIBLE offerings, there is MORE farm product that shout the season such as FLOWERS/FLEURS, sustainably grown. Did you know that 75% of the flowers sold in the United States (USA) are imported AND that all flowers coming into the USA are fumigated at the border before going through customs? So, what is the answer? The most plentiful supply of summer flowers grown on nearby Piedmont farms are available every week Cobblestone, right here is Winston-Salem!
Oh, just in - is PEACH Kefir! Perfect pairing - granola from our fabulous bakers! You know where they are - sweet and savory nirvana!
Cobblestone LOCAL equals 50+ independent Piedmont food businesses in one place!
FRESH DAIRY
It is true that milk, cheese, ice cream, and other dairy products can contain great deal of unhealthy chemicals. HOWEVER these foods are highly processed and made of milk from cows kept in unhealthy conditions. A great deal of the ire against dairy and a great deal of the intolerance of dairy products has to do with this. But of course, these products fall prey to the same issues as any other highly processed, mass produced American food. They can be terribly unhealthy simply because of the ways that the animals involved are raised, and because of the chemicals added to ensure desired “freshness,” color, shape, etc.
However, what if you could see the cows that provided your milk? What if you could walk up to the farm, knock on the door, and speak directly to your farmer? What if you knew that the cows were fed natural, grain-free diets and that they were given plenty of pasture to roam around? If you want to eat dairy and dairy products, local is the way to go. Come on out to The Cobblestone Farmers Market to meet your Farmer!
LOCAL is better for you and tastes WAY more delicious too!
