REUSE, RECYCLE, COMPOST/BIODEGRADE

This is year TWO of our Reuse, Recycle and Compost/Biodegrade Program at Cobblestone as we push to be 90% zero waste this year! Last year, with your help, we were able to reduce the single use plastics by 70% and recycle acceptable items generated at market - like glass and plastic juice bottles, cardboard, paper and cans - thus reducing the amount of general waste in the Old Salem bins significantly. Way to go everyone! REDUCING the creation of waste is the name of the game and REUSE, COMPOST/BIODEGRADE are two tools that we will activate. At Cobblestone, we are replacing non recyclable/non reusable materials (a.k.a Landfill/Waste) with compostable or recyclable materials such as cups, bottles, clamshells and much more. There will still be some plastic packaging for meat and cheese that must meet industry requirements.

This year, we are adding a PILOT COMPOSTING Program at market that will accept food waste and biodegradable items. We are partnering with Gallins Family Farm who are leading the way in industrial composting and are just fabulous folks. We will have handy posters at market describing the items that can and cannot be composted. Yes, please do bring those coffee grounds from home!

Recycling as we know it is coming to an end and while we look to what the next steps will be, we hope that everyone will take a minute to look at the City of Winston-Salem's website to learn what is truly recyclable and what is not. We will have posters at market with this information. Recycling at Cobblestone is for market generated items only or something you may have purchased on the way to market that is acceptable to dispose.

Please to stop by the Information Booth for more details and the location of the recycle and compost bins. We look forward to learning along with you how to best REDUCE WASTE through this pilot program!

Low levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, combined with its high iron and protein content, make goat meat a good choice for anyone looking for healthy red meat. It's a leaner, healthier choice when compared to equal serving sizes of chicken, beef and pork. Goat bones and organ meat will also be available by preorder. Be sure to check in with all of our protein vendors for special deals so you can plan your market stroll accordingly.

It all starts with the milk...fresh from well cared for animals.

After more than 20 years of making goat cheese, we have learned the techniques which preserve the goodness of our fresh milk and create the flavor and texture unique to our cheese. Stop by to welcome them and grab a taste of their delicious cheeses!
