Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, why not finish up your Christmas shopping at one of the local Farmer's Markets? Come on by the Amenia Farmer's Market tomorrow between the hours of 10:00-2:00 and you will find me, Wholeyoats of course, along with many other small food producers and farmers as well as some very talented local artisans offering beautiful items for purchase. The atmosphere is pleasant....one that is cheery, delightful, warm & friendly. There will not be any battles over parking spaces, or waiting on lines to pay for a gift made thousands of miles away. Why not buy a gift that is handmade by your neighbor? A lovely hand knitted scarf and hat, or a beautifully hand thrown bowl and organic dog treats for your favorite furry pal. You could also use that bowl for breakfast...pour some WholeyOats granola into that beautiful bowl and top it off with some locally made Ronnybrook yogurt or milk and you've got yourself a delicious breakfast.
I could go on and on, but I think you've got the idea.....support your local business person; farmer, food producers, artisan, wine & cheesemaker, etc. It feels and tastes sooooo good, how can you not????
Mainly I want to take this opportunity to say a big Thank You to all of my WholeyOats customers and supporters. 2011 was my first full year in business, I had a great year and will move on into 2012 full speed ahead. Keep crunching and chewing and I'll keep baking.
All the best to you and yours this holiday season and in 2012.
Best,
Pattie
