West Chester Market, Christmas Jam, Canning Classes, and More!
Only a few more Saturdays at the West Chester Farmer's Market. My, how fun it will be to sleep in past 5:30 on the weekend!! But I'll miss the early morning cuppa joe from La Terza, watching the kids squirm in line for snow cones, and listening to the buzz of the crowd and farmers as they discuss the weather, crops, organics, and bees.
After the market ends, I'll still be attending Winter Market once a month up through Christmas. You can pick up your Christmas Jam case orders during those markets if you wish. Don't forget your customized Christmas Jam labels!
Here's the deal: if you order a case of Christmas Jam (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries), we'll customize your labels free. For example, you could write "Merry Christmas from the Smith Family" or "Season's Greetings from Acme Plumbing." (The last one reminds me of Bugs Bunny - remember Acme products? lol)
Christmas Jam is $6/jar, and there are six jars to a case, so a case is $72. The jam is handmade in our cannery. It is the perfect holiday gift to have on hand for the postman, paper boy, unexpected holiday guests, teacher, office mates, etc. It's even more special to the recipient when your personal greeting is on it, too!
We have 1 more open position in our Beginner's Canning Class this Sunday from 12-6. We'll be making strawberry jam and glazed carrots - yummy! In the middle of class, during break, I'll make a quick trifle using some of the jam that the students just made. Goes perfectly with an afternoon cup of tea or coffee!
