What's Fresh at the Old Creamery
What's Fresh at the Old Creamery
Grilling season is underway! Using Janine‘s superbly prepared ingredients, Alice grills on the front lawn every Saturday. Food begins flying off the grill just before noon, and continues until all the food has been cooked to succulent and smoky perfection.
The lamb patties on grilled sourdough with tomato-cuke relish, the grilled polenta with cilantro cashew pesto and fresh mozzarella, and the grilled local corn with lime/chili/olive oil/butter marinade are all cult favorites. Amy and Alice sell food right off the grill (yes, drive-up is an option!) (when there‘s no traffic!), and the remainder is brought in to the deli. Check it out; the food served hot off the grill, at the peak moment of deliciousness, is worth the trip.
The choices for local produce are staggering. Ask Alice for recipe ideas if you need inspiration. Berries, peaches, plums, cherries (still!) , and even apples (already!) are all begging for our appreciation. Enjoy with gusto.
Many of you don‘t know that almost ALL the meat we cook with in the deli is sourced from farms that use no growth hormones, no unncessary antibiotics, no chemicals unless necessary, and that treat their animals well. We buy from Western Massachusetts and Southern Vermont farms, except for the Bell & Evans chicken breasts and legs that Annette cooks and serves as pieces in the deli. Most of the Roast Beef and Roasted Turkey Breast served for our deli sandwiches comes from Vermont farms and is roasted fresh (and to delicious perfection!) right here at the Creamery by Peter. We use Boar‘s Head only when we run short of our house roasted meats. We hope to transition more of our deli meats to sustainably raised, locally produced meats.
We‘ve recently received several deliveries from book distributors. Check out the selection. We‘ve added many new gardening titles, as well as food preservation, keeping and tending to farm animals, some environemental and sustainable lifestyle titles, and just enough food-oriented books to keep Alice happy.
We have a great selection of books in our Sustainability Library on the 2nd floor east side. There are many gardening and agriculture books available for check out in the Library; if you need some gardening inspiration, reference material, or advice, check out the great selection of books.
