Local Food Find

What began as a way to introduce people to the possibilities of what New Leaf Market, an evolving local food co-op, is about and to recruit member-owners to make New Leaf Market a reality, is the annual New Leaf Winter Farmer's Market held on select Saturday mornings in December, January and February.  New Leaf Winter Market hosts over 80 vendors featuring local meats, cheeses, veggies, jams, canned items, breads, pastries, and various local restaurants. Local chefs are doing cooking demos using only the local ingredients found at market.  Here is a small sample of some of the wonderful foods, many of them organic, that the Urban Diner found at market all provided by our area's very own local vendors. 



Organic Butter Chard, Ledgeview's Striped Spaghetti Squash, River of Dreams Beef Sticks, Villagios' Marinara Sauce, O So Good Kettle Corn Premium Chedddar Popcorn, La Fonda Fish Market Pickled Whitefish, Trust Local Foods Peace of Pasture Cow Milk Gouda, Amish Grown Radish, Sweet Temptations by Michael Gourmet Eight Piece Chocolate Sample Pack (Peanut butter Truffle, Bacon Truffle, Lemon, Oatmeal Stout Caramel, Sea Salt Caramel, Mango, Coconut Oolong and Earl Grey Lavender-flavors change at each market), Nala's Marcona Almonds, Ledgeview's Grape Tomatoes, and Irresistibly Healthy's Socko Taco Hummus.
