I've been so happy to be driving to area farms as our valley and the Connecticut River Valley come to life. We've often purchased ginger products and flowers from Old Friends Farm, Amherst MA, but we've always bought them through a distributor. This year, I'll be driving there directly in order to be able to select from their full catalog of amazing products.

This past week, I picked up spectacular bouquets of ranunculus and tulips. Ranunculus lasts a long time, although they're quickly leaving our store with customers. I also picked up some beautiful lettuce as well as their ginger honeys and their award-winning ginger syrup. This farm's work with ginger has led to national recognition, including a feature on Martha Stewart's baking show.

Old Friends Farm began in 2003 on a small rented garden plot with a pocketful of seed and a pickup truck. Fast forward to the present: The rented, certified-organic land has increased to 35 acres, there are cabinets of seed, and several trucks! Everything they produce is certified organic

Missy Bahret and Casey Steinberg, old friends from college days, co-own and continually create and manage the farm. Together with their families, Missy and Casey bring different but complimentary skills to the farm that you can see, feel, and taste in everything they produce.

If you are lucky enough to grab the flowers we have, please send us photos of them on full display. We've included some sent by a fan of the store. They are so beautiful!

We don't normally stock chocolate milk from McNamara Dairy. We let Miller Farm organic have the corner on that market. These little bottles were a special order to help out a family. Their story isn't mine to share.

I don't do a good enough job talking about the number of special orders that Laura pulls together on a weekly basis. We are that old fashioned style of grocery store where if somebody needs something, we will try to get it. It's how my grandfather ran his store and it makes me pretty happy that we can do the same today.

We have customers who regularly order large quantities of heavy cream to make butter, chicken to stock their freezer, bone broth because they drink it everyday, chewing gum because they chew it every day, and vegan meat substitutes, because, well, they're vegan.

We do have limited shelf space, and if you find yourself going to another store in the Deerfield Valley, Brattleboro, or even Williamstown, to get a favorite product, please talk to us. We can probably get what you need and we cl will even give you a discount if you can buy a case of it. We can often offer you a better price than even what you'd get through Amazon.

So if you want to place a special order, either come talk to Laura Monday through Friday or give her a call at 802-464-1562.

You definitely want to talk to Laura, because her deft organizational skills are the best, and I'm often challenged just to remember names.

This is a dream date for a Friday night.

If you're passionate about it, think you can be the best in the world at it, and it makes economic sense, then what's stopping you?

So worth a 7-hour round trip.

If you know, you know.

And if you're ever in Fairfax Vermont, stop at Sweet Abilities Bakery . The Ortons are a fantastic family and members of my Special Olympics world. Lynn bakes delicious items. And Stephen might have shed a tear when I drove away with his dream.

With the arrival of local fiddleheads, ramps, pansies, and the famous Hadley asparagus, and with the regular restocking of apples from Green Mountain Orchards and carrots from Piccadilly Farm, we've been able to provide this area with locally grown produce year round.

This accomplishment comes at a time where all of our area business owners are a bit fatigued. When the manager of Hogback Mountain Country Store walked into the store yesterday and asked me how I was doing, I responded, "We made it through April!" And he laughed, sharing that he was excited that they made it through as well.

April isn't just mud season for local businesses. It's also a time where our regular customers who live and work in the valley twelve months out of the year -- our bread and butter and foundation for everything we do -- also tend to leave. And I don't blame them. There are definitely warmer, more colorful places to escape to than Vermont in early spring.

I've been using this time to look back at not only what we've achieved in the store in the three years that I've owned it, but also to look at what I have lost while focusing so much time and energy building this business.

So I've taken more time away from the store than I ever have, and luckily I can do that because I have an amazing staff who can run this place better than I can. And I am proud to keep that staff to regular schedules and their regular pay even during times when business is much slower.

In April I reconnected with some old friends and made some new ones. I've deep cleaned parts of my home. I've started writing again -- just for me. I also spent a chunk of time helping my mother with her health care. Being my parents' healthcare proxies has been the most honorable job I've ever been asked to take on. And I'm determined to do it right.

When speaking with my best friend from college after far, far too long of a gap, we ended up talking about fears. Every small business owner in this area should have fears at this time of year. Otherwise, there's the risk of failure from hubris. My friend told me she was surprised that I had fears, as I always appeared brave to her. So she asked me, "When is it that you feel brave?" And I couldn't give her an answer right away.

But now I know the answer to that question: I feel brave when there's hope. And nothing gives me more hope than pansies and fiddleheads and ramps and Hadley asparagus.

So please stop in and say hi, even if you don't need anything. You might find some holes in our shelves where products are missing. Don't be afraid: This is a sign of a well-run store during the slower seasons. And trust me, I look forward to being fully restocked later this month.

And I should also mention that Beni has returned from his annual trek south, so we have his spectacular bread and bialies.

It's Saturday afternoon at Farmhouse Market, which means one thing: Free samples of delicious wine and cheese!

If you haven't been to one of these events yet please stop by this afternoon from 4 to 7 because we're going to need to take a break for a couple weeks. I have another job that is much more important, which is being a health care proxy for an elderly parent.

If you know me and you know my family you don't need to worry -- I'm taking time off for a scheduled health care event. And thankfully, I have the most amazing staff who will actually run the store better without me being near it.

So swing by this afternoon and tip a glass and eat some cheese and some jam and a piece of a world-class baguette. I plan to pick these tastings back up around mid April. Then again, I have lots of plans and I don't want to guarantee anything. So if you haven't been to one of our tastings, make this afternoon a priority.

If you've had the Pineland Farms butcher blend hamburgers we sell in our case, you'll understand this video. Made with chuck, brisket, and rib, they are spectacular! And the price -- just over $7 for two 6 ounce burgers -- surprises everyone.

If you haven't tried them, what's stopping you?

From 4 to 7 this afternoon, we'll celebrate my birthday with a FREE beer and cheese tasting here at Farmhouse Market!

We're going to be sampling some of my favorite beers -- and yes, one will be an IPA! (If you know, you know.) One beer is even from outside Vermont.

Bent Hill's Blood Orange IPA -- Michael Czok creates some spectacular beers in his off-the-beaten-path Brewery in Bridgewater, Vermont. And his spot is definitely worth a visit for down-home food and taproom-only beers.

Foley Brother's Blackbeard's Porter -- Maple, vanilla, slightly sweet malty goodness... I would carry this beer year round if they would brew it!

River Roost's Drawbore triple-decocted Czech premium lager -- This beer is pure gold. Mark Brandon is one of Vermont's best brewers hands down. Come tonight and find out why!

Off Color's Apex Predator Saison -- This can sneaks in from Chicago, but no one in Vermont is canning a farmhouse ale right now, and this one is delicious.

Valley Craft Ale's Fetta di Casa Italian Pilsner -- Justin and his crew are some of the best corporate neighbors anyone could ask for, and this perfectly hopped pils is one of the best beers in the entire state.

We'll also have Vito Forte here from Parish Hill Creamery cutting award winning cheeses! And we'll be sampling jam from Lyman's Speciatlies. So brave the snow for some free beer and so much more!

The Fill the Bus Food Drive is today!

From 2 to 5 pm, the school district's new electric school bus will be parked in front of our store. We're hoping to fill every one of its 77 seats -- and the aisle! -- with donations of food for both the Deerfield Valley Food Pantry and our local Food 4 Kids Program, which sends healthy food home with students in need each weekend.

We ordered almost $5,000 worth of healthy food requested by these two programs at deep discounts -- and we've put together "bags" at below our cost.

By the end of the weekend, all of this food will go to these important programs. People have already started to help in the store or by calling 802-464-1562.

Here are two of the healthy packages we've put together --

For $50, you can help us donate the following to the food pantry:

4 pounds of Cadia ORGANIC pasta (2 spaghetti, 2 fusilli)
2 jars of Cadia ORGANIC marinara
2 cans of Cadia ORGANIC tomato sauce
2 cans of Cadia ORGANIC chili
4 packages of Cadia ORGANIC soup (2 chili, 2 lentil)
2 pounds of Cadia ORGANIC white rice
6 jars of Zoup! soups (chili, chicken noodle, and chicken pot pie)
2 cans of polee-caught Cadia tuna
2 cans of Annie's ORGANIC chicken noodle soup

For $30, you can help us donate the following to Food 4 Kids (they will divide things into bags for each child they serve):

3 packages of Honest Kids ORGANIC juice boxes (8 boxes per package)
2 cans of Annie's ORGANIC chicken soups (one bunny, one stars)
2 boxes of MadeGood ORGANIC rice crispy squares (one vanilla, one strawberry, 6 bars per box)
1 box of MadeGood ORGANIC nut-free granola bars (chocolate drizzle, 5 bars per box)
8 bags of Lesser Evil ORGANIC popcorn (packaged together)
6 bags of Boom Chicka Pop popcorn (packaged together)
6 packages of Newman's Own ORGANIC raisins packaged together)
2 Archer sugar-free meat sticks

If you didn't already know, my grandfather and great-grandfather were both community grocers. My grandfather supported people in need for his entire life. My parents taught me not to ignore charitable impulses.

The store has had a successful winter, and the time seems right to give back, although what we ordered is a lot for me to donate on my own.

If you would like to bring your own donations, feel free to do so. Food donations need to be shelf stable, which means no refrigeration or freezing needed. Additionally, donations must have remaining shelf life. In other words, their "best by" dates should still be weeks or months away. Donations for the Food 4 Kids program must be nut-free and ready-to-eat, or foods that children can prepare themselves without additional ingredients.

People are welcome to shop through our shelves and make a more personal selection of products to donate.

People are also more than welcome to donate funds to both or either organization. We will be collecting those funds through the weekend. Cash and checks will be accepted, and we will also accept credit card donations through our register (we will pay all credit card fees).

If you can't make it to the event, we'll gladly arrange for you to pay for pre-packaged bags or take credit card donations over the phone. Call us at 802-464-1562.

We've been quietly donating groceries to both of these programs for a while now. The grocery business is a tough one, and what I can do for both organizations on my own is unfortunately limited. I'm hoping this "Fill the Bus" food drive will set both of these organizations up well with healthy food as we head into mud season and the quieter times ahead.

"The" sweet corn is here!

If you know, you know. If you don't, come in and find out -- and find it in its new home!

The corn has always been displayed right as you walk in the front door. There are two problems with that:

1. Fresh corn needs to be stored in the cooler overnight, and when I've closed the store I've forgotten to move it (much to Melissa's dismay).

2. People take the corn and move right to the cash register without seeing all the amazing produce we are also picking up from local farms.

We pick up our corn from Ray Rex and his son, Joe, at Four Rex Farm in Hadley, Massachusetts. Ray and Joe plant 140 acres with the best sweet corn. This year is off to a slow start, but we're up and running now! We also pick up squash, pickling cukes, and other vegetables they grow.

Four Rex Farm is a 200-acre diversified wholesale vegetable operation. The farm is IPM certified and uses sustainable practices to ensure the best products available.

With our full supply of berries and the other fruits and vegetables we pick up from farms, it's safe to say the best of summer is here!
