The Windmill Market has launched its blog!

We finally have a forum to share all our tidbits of info on local farmers, cool artists, the best sandwiches, an interesting article on green living, recipes from our Produce Club, or whatever else pops into Mac's brain! Stay tuned for all the info you never thought you needed to know...

Farmer Feature: Craine Creek

We work with anywhere from 50-60 farms throughout the year supplying our grocery store, our cafe and our Produce Club. We admire their hard work and enjoy their bounty on a daily basis. We'd like to introduce you to a few of them, starting now!

We visited a new greenhouse last week that will be supplying some wonderful (and slightly unusual) greens to the Windmill in the coming weeks, and hopefully ongoing. Their arugula is to die for, the bok choy and rare varieties of mustard greens or lettuces are so exciting! We began our tour by scrubbing up like we were going into surgery, donning shoe covers and preparing to enter a sealed environment. Every painstaking measure is taken to ensure the quality and life of the plants being grown at Crain Creek.

Anita showed us the crops that our customers will be having for dinner soon. Enjoy the pictures, and come by for some of that good stuff next week!
