Consider Farmers Fare Scrapple and Primo Eggs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make yourself a delicious local breakfast at home!!
Chris and Craig, the ever charming in-house butchers of Farmers Fare, make Scrapple also known as Pon Haus, Lumberjack's Pate and variously known as White Pudding in Ireland. Choice trimmings of pork from the butchering process are made into scrapple to avoid wasting any part of the locally raised animal. Broth and breadcrumbs or oatmeal bind the ground meat into blocks which are easily cut into slices ready to be pan fried. Scrapple is best known as a regional American food of the Mid-Atlantic States (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland). Scrapple is commonly considered an ethnic food of the Pennsylvania Dutch, including the Mennonite and Amish.
Paired with some delicious locally produced eggs from PRIMO Restaurant in Rockland a hearty breakfast can be had by all in the comfort of your own home. Aren't the labels lovely on the egg carton....cannily made from recycled menus!!

Coastal Children's Museum, Rockland, Maine!!!!
A sensibly behatted and begloved Rhys chose the recipient of the first Farmers Fare "Pay-it-forward" donation of $500 accrued from the generosity of all those who "fed the cow" since Farmers Fare opened just a few short months ago.
Yea for the community spirit and generosity which covered the cost of the mini gelato portions and left $500 over to be donated to a worthy local cause!

Farmers Fare "Pays it forward" today!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Come on over to FF at 3:30pm Saturday Feb 13th for the first drawing of "Pay it forward"
We'll have some surprise fun finding out who receives the first of the monies collected so far from our "Pay-it-forward" mini portion gelato.
What is Pay-it-forward??
"At Farmers Fare your ice cream (actually Gelato) is FREE! If you have a buck...feed the cow...pay $1 a serving if you can, pay more if you want. If you don’t have a buck, no WORRIES, take an ice cream and enjoy. Feed the cow next time! The buck does not stop here: YOUR contributions let us buy more frozen joy (from Gelato Fiasco in Brunswick), and all of the leftover money goes to local charitable organizations of your choice."
We have ???? dollars leftover right now (we'll find the amount out later today and let you know) , after paying for the gelato wholesale, which we will be donating to a local charity.
At 3:30 we will be choosing the name of the lucky charity by drawing from the delightful bucket pictured above which contains the names written down by our wonderful customers.

Farmers Fare donates used vegetable oil
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Home Grown Farm and Market reuses Farmers Fare spent vegetable oil to keep fish warm!!
Every now and again Home Grown Farm picks up the used vegetable oil from Farmers Fare to help generate heat and electricity which in turn run the under tank heating coils that circulate warm water for their sustainably raised tilapia. Energy efficiency and sustainable food production are not just quaint words, these 2 concepts are integrated with Home Grown’s ability to produce quality food at an affordable price because if you can’t afford to buy it, then it is NOT sustainable.
As April comes around we will be carrying produce from Home Grown Farm.

Recipes and Cookbooks!!
Here is a photograph of some of the participants in the STAR program being held at Farmers Fare twice a week for the winter cycle. They are diligently and joyfully squeezing oranges for one of the recipes which will end up gracing the pages of this lovely hand made book you see featured on the right of the picture.
Apparently the unusual choice of a mouse for the cover photo has something to do with the movie "Ratatouille"!
