Upper Valley food sources within our 100-miles |
DAIRY This one’s easy! There’s local milk, buttermilk, cheeses, plain yogurt, heavy cream, creme fraiche, and butter. One “find” is the maple yogurt from Butterworks Farm. It’s made with local milk and maple syrup and available at the co-ops and Dan & Whit’s. Strafford Creamery and Walpole Creamery make ice cream using local milk. Strafford makes a Smooth Maple ice cream using their own eggs, milk, and VT maple syrup (no cane sugar.) EGGS: The Upper Valley Food Co-op, Dan & Whit’s, and local farms carry VT/NH eggs from local small-scale producers. You can usually find eggs at the local farmers markets or perhaps you have a neighbor producing eggs? VEGETABLES FRUIT BEVERAGES BREAD * Trukenbrod breads can be found at Upper Valley Food Co-op – wheat, spelt, rye, sunflower seeds, and flax all come from Cedar Circle Farm. Baked each Tuesday. * Green Mountain Flour: “we have 100% local, breads made with Vermont organically grown wheat and corn. The corn is from Great River Farm in Windsor. The current batch of wheat is from Ken VanHazinga in Shoreham, VT, being stored for us by Jim Greer at Great River Farm. Check Green Mountain Flour’s Baking schedule for bread varieties – they also have GMF pizza shells and spelt pita bread in the bread section at the Leb and Hanover Co-ops. * Red Hen Cyrus Pringle bread – available at Hanover, Leb, WRJ co-op (on a schedule? It was at the Leb Co-op on Tuesday) * King Arthur “VT Grains bread” – baked on Tuesday – available at their store (and UVFCo-op?) Grains The co-ops carry local grains in the bulk department. (ie. whole wheat and spelt, sometimes cornmeal.) Cedar Circle sometimes has flour available at the Norwich and Lebanon farmers markets. VINEGAR AND OIL CONDIMENTS HERBS AND SPICES SWEETENERS BEANS MEATS SOY Sadly, we have discovered no locally-grown coffee or chocolate . . . or local cinnamon, pepper, peanut butter, limes, soy sauce, sesame tahini, oranges, bananas, baking soda or olive oil! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * |

Pat,
Beautiful blog!!
Thanks Judi !
ots of beautiful, colorful legumes can be grown in northern New England. I’ve grown Swedish Brown Beans, Maine Yellow Eyes, VT Cranberry Beans and a couple other types. I could not believe how much better they tasted than the dried beans from the store!

Hi Debbie,
I’m wondering, of all the varieties you’ve grown, do you have a favorite? A favorite recipe?
