Rainbow Hill Farm: We are getting close to the end of our apple season, be sure to stock up on your favorites, you can keep them in a dark, cool place like the bottom crisper of your refrigerator crisper drawer, they can also be wrapped in paper and store in a covered box and keep in a cool dark place. We have several varieties of apple this week:
Rome – Dark Red, Mild Flavor, good for both cooking and baking
Winesap – A hard tart apple. Great for cooking.
Gold Rush – Medium sized green-yellow cross between golden delicious and Rome apples. High in vitamin C. Good for both eating fresh and cooking. Does not brown easily when cut so is good for fruit salad. Has excellent sweet-tart flavor
Yellow Delicious – Very sweet to the taste. It is a favorite for salads, apple sauce, and apple butter.
Arkansas Black – Tart flavor. Best keeping of any apple. Will keep all winter if kept in cool dry place. Last apple of season.
Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): This week we have a limited number of the All in One Honeys. They are great for the medicine cabinet. Spicy sweet kick the bug out goodness. They would be great in wellness care package with cold care tea. Long shelf life and if you keep it in the fridge the dold feels extra soothing on a sore throat. Available 1.5 and 4 oz. sizes. I also have some fresh made elderberry syrup. Not a fan of syrup I also have an elderberry extract. Either are great for helping to prevent catching those viuses or limiting the duration of them.
Pennies Delights: We offer several dessert and snack items, they make great hostess gifts. They will store well in refrigerator or freezer. If you freeze them do not remove wrapping, let them thaw wrapped up.
Lavender Cottage: Several of their items would go great as Holiday Gifts!
