Saturdays bring freshness at the farmers market - The Tide

You can take your time and get your coffee in the morning, and people will be a lot more helpful to you than at a grocery store. It’s more personal.”Linda Miller agrees. She works for Keswick Creamery, whose tent at the market houses at least 20 different kinds of cheese and offers free samples of them all. Unusual cheeses among her selection include hot and spicy Dragon’s Breath, soft and crumbly Bovre, and quark, a German-style cream cheese. “I think when you come to the market, you get to talk to the person that was actually producing the product, so it’s very intimate—it’s not like the grocery store and you have no clue where... https://thermtide.com/8970/features/saturdays-bring-freshness-at-the-farmers-market/

How Newport Became the Most Exciting Beach Town in New England - Travel+Leisure

Rizzo explained. The menu has gone from nachos and quesadillas to burrata from Narragansett Creamery and locally grown squash blossoms stuffed with house-made ricotta. Rizzo was combining some big, architectural monstera leaves with a bouquet of gladiolus and sunflowers grown on a flower farm just north of town.From left: A surfer arrives for an afternoon session at Sachuest Beach, a.k.a. Second Beach, a local favorite; guests at Castle Hill Inn, a historic Newport estate, take in the view of Narragansett Bay.Brian W. FerryRizzo's penchant for loose arrangements and unexpected combinations — instead of the hydrangeas and rose balls that were once de rigueur in a place like Newport — has proven popular. Because the town is one of America's premier wedding destinations, she's especially busy in summer, but she is in demand all year long. From La Forge Casino, we walked a few doors down to the Audrain Automobile Museum, another of her clients, which showcases some of the rarest and most precious cars on earth.

Asheville tailgate edibles make great holiday gifts - Asheville Citizen-Times

Food and beverages make perfect presents, and area farmers tailgate markets have so much to offer!Some of the best gifts are meant to be consumed soon after purchase. Local eggnog from Mills River Creamery is a delicious contribution to any holiday dinner or party — creamy and sweet (but not too sweet), it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Find Mills River Creamery’s eggnog from Brittain Farms at the West Asheville Tailgate Market.Nothing is sweeter, both literally and figuratively, than local honey. There are honey vendors at most of the winter/holiday markets. At the North Asheville Holiday Bazaar, stop by Dave’s Raw Honey. He’s got sourwood honey, extracted in July from flowers of the sourwood tree, which he calls “the Cadillac of honeys” and has a light, delicate flavor. Dave also has other honeys gathered earlier, in May, from flowers of the mountain blackberry and tulip poplar, which have a fuller flavor than that of sourwood honey.Jam is a classic edible gift, one that’s a great choice for someone you aren’t sure what to get. Some local jams to give a try: Root Bottom Farm has their Bear’s Jam, which won in the West Asheville Tailgate Market jam contest this past summer. Find their jam at the West Asheville Tailgate Market for one more week. Imladris Farm has a range of jam flavors from their sixth generation farm. They also have locally,... http://www.citizen-times.com/story/life/home-garden/2016/12/09/asheville-tailgate-edibles-make-great-holiday-gifts/95050210/

How Portland's 100-year-old Alpenrose went from dairy to institution - OregonLive.com

Cadonau Jr. said.Today, Alpenrose packages its products with labels for grocery store private brands, another way to stay ahead of the creamery industry's cardboard-thin profit margins. They produced about 1.5 million gallons of milk in December, about average, though it tends to spike in the winter and then drop in the summer when ice cream takes over production time.About 170 employees work in the plant, working in shifts that keep the plant running from 4 a.m. to sometimes 9 p.m. each day."To keep up with it, you have to run," said plant manager Bryce McKinnon, who married into the family and took the job 5 years ago after leaving Nike.Alpenrose was one of the last dairies to quit door-to-door delivery in the 1970s, said Cadonau Jr. At their height of "retail routes," there were 35,000 customers getting fresh milk on their doorstep. Alpenrose competed with Carnation and Mayflower – now Darigold. Eventually, all succumbed to the grocery store. Five-hundred-unit delivery trucks just couldn't beat the efficiency of 30,000-unit semi trucks.Now the dairy tries to distinguish itself with milk-based products such as cottage cheese and sour cream. Those products take a little more finesse. Co-president Rod Birkland eats cottage cheese every morning, reporting his notes back to the maker. It's a careful balance between too thick and too watery, Birkland said.A community businessAs technology and the economy forced the family to morph the business, they retained a connection to Portlanders that Cadonau Jr. and Birkland credit with the dairy's continued success.Now 70, Cadonau Jr. remembers one summer night, standing at the center of the field under the lights, pitching a no-hitter. That night his team lost by one run. He sobbed afterward.Take a journey backLater, he coached his own kids on the same field. Those kids grew up. Now he watches his grandsons play ball, sitting in the stands alongside generations of Portlanders who also hold close their own memories of spending time at Alpenrose and the many local institutions it helped build.Even after selling its milking herd, the family kept 30 to 40 cows at the dairy, not to supply the creamery, but to teach fourth graders on field trips how to milk a cow. After, the kids would cross the street to "grandma's house," where they took off their shoes and munched ice cream and cookies Rosina Cadonau baked them with some Alpenrose milk.Some of those children came back at Christmas to visit Dairyville and the Western Town, a series of displays and shops with frontier-era facades. Perhaps their school choir or dance group performed at the opera house, built on the foundation of a hay barn that burned down.Or maybe they now watch their own grandmother perform with the Northwest Senior Theater. On a recent January afternoon, they were on the stage singing Judy Garland's "Trolley Song" to 630 empty ornate chairs that Cadonau Jr. bought for 10 cents from a Portland theater that was going out of business.The activities portion of Alpenrose almost takes as much room as the dairy operation now.The next major addition came in 1967, when Franz Powell of Kissler's Cyclery, a Southwest Portland bike shop, approached Carl Cadonau Sr. about building a race track. After the reception the baseball field received, Cadonau agreed.For two years, cyclists used a track in the dairy's front parking lot. But the Pan American games were... http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2016/01/alpenrose_dairy_lasts_100_year.html
