"Sunshine ...on my shoulder...makes me happy..."
We imagine the plants and animals on our producers' farms are singing just this song! It makes us think spring planting and romance!
To get you going on shopping ideas for this week or a LOVE supper next week, think about roasting lamb or duck, grilling chicken, shrooms or those ever ready pork chops and steaks. Seared lettuces, chards and kales will pair up beautifully with goat cheese topped with a bit of kimchi. Needless to say, sweet options are a DEFINITE inclusion for the loves in your life - you know where to go! Specials listed below!
For spring planting, check out the SOWN and GROWN Seed SWAP at Old Salem, an event that Beta Verde brought to Winston-Salem as part of the annual Slow Food Piedmont Seed Swap held inGreensboro. For eight wonderful years, Old Salem has been host, partner and lead on Seed with Stories for this VERY SEXY heirloom seed celebration and swap!
Thinking of going out for dinner, please consider navigating those orange detour signs and enjoy our downtown establishments, many of which source regularly from Cobblestone vendors.
Have an absolute blast shopping this Saturday morning and do start your Valentine's week with a a cup of chai or a mimosa from the bar...celebrations are always best over multiple days!
