MARKET MOMENTS

It's Farmer's Market season again!  This means that we're open later on Thursday nights to allow the people heading downtown for the market can also enjoy some great shopping in town.  This year we'll be showing something on Thursday nights that complements something you might find at the market that week. It might be a recipe and a taste of something that uses one of our Oils and Vinegars along with some seasonal produce or a serving dish or utensil that will make prep easier.  Come by every Thursday during market hours to be inspired, have a taste, or get a recipe!

WILDFLOWER GARDEN: with Kelly Ventura

One thing we’re certain of is this—if Kelly paints it, it’s going to be beautiful. Her designs are all inspired by nature and featured in boutique shops nationwide. We’re so lucky to be able to call her a local artist. Wildflower Garden is her newest design and will soon be available on some gorgeous melamine serveware pieces, just in time for warmer weather and your spring and summer parties.

We’ll be celebrating the launch with a fun afternoon in the store. Kelly will be there signing her pieces. You’ll have a fun shopping experience along with some sparkling fruity lemonade as you stroll the store, and Kelly’s pieces will be here for purchase.

To assure that we have the pieces you want in stock, we’re doing pre-orders online. If you pre-order, you’ll also be entered into a drawing for a piece from the collection. Kelly will be doing a spring floral watercolor that evening and any of our guests purchasing one of her pieces will be entered into a drawing to win the painting.

We always have a great time when Kelly comes in.

We'll begin the evening with a refreshing Strawberry Margarita and a delightful appetizer, bursting with the colors and flavors of spring.

You'll design the fragrance from start to finish, blending notes that speak to you. Whether you love something soft and floral, bright and citrusy, or warm and cozy, you'll have expert guidance and the freedom to create something uniquely yours.

Then it's back to our Acorn Farm kitchen where the experience turns delicious.

You'll gather around for a relaxed mini cooking class featuring tender asparagus spears, enveloped in golden, flaky puff pastry with a delicate layer of velvety cheese. A vibrant, green goddess-inspired salad is the perfect accompaniment---fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Along the way, you'll pick up tips, techniques, and inspiration you can bring into your own kitchen all while enjoying great conversation and plenty of laughs.

To finish, we'll indulge in delicate tea cakes, beautifully glazed and adorned with edible blossoms--a sweet, elegant ending to a night filled with creativity and connection.

This is more than a class. It's a chance to slow down, savor the season, try something new, and share a meaningful, joy-filled evening with other incredible women.

SOUP 101: From Stock to Spoon!
$65.00

Winter may be almost over but we’re still enjoying soup to take the chill off until spring has truly arrived.  Susan Bizon is the master of the stock pot.  She makes a wonderfully rich, flavorful chicken stock that you can use right away, or freeze for soups, stews, gravies, and more.  In this class, she’ll show us how to make that beautiful stock and turn it into a comforting, homemade chicken noodle soup.

Ever made egg noodles from scratch? Kathy has—using her grandma’s recipe. She’ll show you how to make them both by hand and with a machine.  They’re surprisingly simple and transform  a good bowl of soup into something truly special.

We’ll also make some light, crispy Parmesan Twists that pair beautifully with any bowl of soup. Alongside them, we’ll prepare a fresh spring salad filled with seasonal favorites—tender greens, asparagus, peas, radishes, and spring onions—tossed in a bright, lemony dressing.

For dessert, we’ll finish with a triple-berry cobbler topped with Kathy’s favorite crumble topping—she always keeps extra in the freezer to sprinkle over muffins, quick breads or even baked oatmeal.  It’s a wonderful recipe to have in your baking arsenal.
