Introducing Ellie's Going Green Chocolate Florentine Cookies!!

We'd like to introduce you to our new product - Ellie's Going Green Chocolate Florentine Cookies. These yummy sandwich style cookies are made with 100% Whole Grain Oats and honey - no high fructose corn syrup. And sandwiched in between 2 golden, crunchy cookie layers is pure Ghiradelli Bitterweet Chocolate. Also, check out our packaging - it is certified biodegradable, compostable and made carbon zero from wood cellulose fibers sourced with sustainable forestry principles. Totally recyclable!!

A package of 6 cookies ($6.00) makes a great hostess gift or a quick dessert served with coffee. We hope you'll give them a try.

Come See Us In Georgetown, Mass.

We will be selling our Basil Vinaigrette during the Fall Fair In Georgetown, MA.

The First Congregational Church of Georgetown announces its annual fall festival, scheduled this year for Friday, October 23rd from 10am to 5pm and Saturday, October 24th from 8:30am to 3pm. Fair Co-Chair Michelle Brock and Deb Lamoureaux are excited about new changes in the fair format.

On Friday, the ever popular Lobster Roll Lunch with local delivery will be back. Also scheduled for Friday afternoon is the popular Mother/Daughter Tea Party.

The addition of local crafters and artisans last year was so successful that we are expanding it this year!

Our ever popular white elephants, country store, cookie walk, gift baskets & other raffles are still here.

Preserve Now - Enjoy Later!

Do you ever miss the taste of fresh Basil in the dead of winter? Many of us prefer to use fresh herbs in our cooking and we miss being able to harvest a sprig of this or a few leaves of that right out of our gardens or from our patio pots and planters.
Here are some tips on how to preserve fresh Basil leaves that will leave you with that great Basil flavor all year long:

1. Wash Basil leaves in cold water; spin dry or dry between paper towels;

2. In a clean plastic container with a lid, pour a little olive oil to cover the bottom;

3. Add a single layer of Basil leaves, then more oil, then more Basil leaves;

4. Press down and finish with oil;

5. Press out any air to seal and refrigerate.

This will last all through the winter! Don't forget about that Basil-infused oil you now have storing your fresh Basil leaves - use it to cook with or to enhance your meals.

Enjoy!

350th Celebration of the Salem Farmer's Market

Here are some photos from yesterdays Farmer's Market in Salem (Mass.) where we celebrated a BIG anniversary!

On this date, September 3, 1634, the Massachusetts General Court authorized Salem to hold a weekly Farmer's Market. These festivities honor Salem's long tradition as a market town. It's still a great time of year to buy fresh, locally grown produce so don't forget to come by and stock up on Ellie's Basil Vinaigrette! We wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe Labor Day weekend.
