Featured Vendor: Old Church Creamery
Owner/operator Catherine Long has a great (and reassuring) approach to making and selling her family’s cheeses, milk, yogurts (regular and Greek-style) and kefir: “At the Old Church Creamery, our goal is to produce the healthiest foods possible and protect the environment at the same time. We use no man-made fertilizers or pesticides on our grazing pastures. Instead, we spray our own compost tea, raw milk, and fish emulsion with kelp to build up soil fertility and produce healthy forage for our cows.” You can find her tent between Epic Gardens and Salt Pork and a hop downhill from Deer Run or uphill from Steve Haas Mushrooms, #16 on the Market Map.

Need Fast Food Fast?
Tortilla pizza takes just 9 minutes to prepare and make with a rub of olive oil and a little garlic, covered with slices of fresh tomato, sprinkled with your favorite cheese and fresh basil – bake in a 425-degree oven for 8-10 minutes, serve immediately!
