Carlisle Central Farmers' Market

Last Saturday, I went with my family to the Carlisle Central Farmers' Market. We had a great time. It was great to finally meet and talk with Sandra from Painted Hand Farm. If you haven't checked out their website or blog, definitely take a look. I think they had goat meat, veal, a lone turkey, and some greens from their garden. They also had an assortment of cheeses from Keswick Creamery. We bought the "lesher" and "wallaby" cheeses which quickly disappeared at our family's Thanksgiving dinner.

Otterbein Acres also has a stand at the market and we picked up some of the "Ewe's Dream" from them, a very strong Romano that I love on some pasta dishes and salads. Otterbein Acres also has some beef and lamb available.

Latimore Valley Farms was also there with a wide selection of organic produce. I was able to do some more stocking up on squash and root crops at their stand. Latimore Valley Farms is a large organic farm about halfway between Gettysburg and Carlisle on Rt 15.

Be sure to check out the Market this weekend. They're having a special Holiday Market this Saturday, Dec. 8th. Check out the market's site for a list of the special holiday vendors. There's really too much for me to list here. I'm looking forward to going again and doing a little Christmas shopping.
