Augusta Locally Grown: THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN
A mountain of long-sleeved laundry proves my kids are all home from college; there’s a big-ol’ Kakalakhi Farm chicken in the oven, dressed with Lazy Willow Farm carrots and potatoes and Slippery Slope rosemary and sage; my dog is chewing on a wrapping paper roll because we’re plum out of Tink’s bones. It must be the holidays!
Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate the wonderous festival of lights; Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the beautiful miracle of birth. And to all, may your days be merry and bright, healthy and -above all – delicious.
Remember: no market next Tuesday, Dec 29.
