Lake Placid Online Farmer's Market: May Market Open!
Hello everyone,
Even though it’s still technically April, it’s time for the May Market ordering period!
We are excited to welcome Harmony Hills Farm back to the market. Based in Malone, they are offering whole chickens and eggs to Lake Placid customers. Here is more about them:
“We are committed to responsible, environmentally sound, sustainable farming. We use all natural methods to control pests, weeds, and erosion. Animals are raised in open pastures and on forested acreage, using feeding and grazing cycles that not only enhance the soil, air, and water quality, but also provides the animals the ability to engage in their natural behaviors. Committed to quality, taste, freshness, and safety of the products we offer. Pastures and animals are free from pesticides, herbicides, added growth hormones, steroids, animal-based bi-products, and antibiotic applications.”
You can read more about them on their website, http://www.harmonyhillsfarmstead.com.
Please also note that this is the last market Asgaard will participate in until the fall, so grab their meat and cheese offerings while they are available!
