Potatoes, Christmas Decorations and Gifts, Cranberries!!

We're at that time of the year when I have to look hard to find news. Other than Mountain Sweet Berries' crosnes, Breezy Hill's cranberries, and gift ideas from Beth's Farm Kitchen, S&SO, Deep Mountain Maple, and such, it's hard to discover much.  Still, I have to say that Quattro's poultry, Violet Hill's Belle Rouge chickens and pork, Flying Pig's sausage and pork cuts, and Northshire's greens are great and worth the visit.  S&SO and Paffenroth have a wide variety of produce, as does Miglorelli, and Quattro's, Violet Hill, Northshire, and others have tasty fresh eggs.

Keith has root vegetables and greens, as well as Christmas trees, and Van Houten, Mountain Sweet Berry, and others have trees and other decorations as well. To see these and other stands:
