Phil said a high-quality egg should have three visible layers. That’s two layers of albumen and a perky golden yolk. Lisa Schelling, a Bloomingfoods East front end manager, enjoys Copper Creek eggs. “They have the nice bright yolks that I like to see. That means the eggs are fresh and the chickens are well-fed,” she said. Schelling also appreciates the fact that Copper Creek eggs are local. The 7.5 acre farm is located in Kokomo, Indiana. “I know I could check on the chicken conditions if I wanted to,” she said.

The East Store is delighted to announce that we now have in stock some delicious new cheeses. Consider:  Istara’s P’Tit Basque
This sheep's milk cheese may be small in stature, but it’s a terrific cheese. It is sweet and salty and pleasant on the tongue. As it melts it leaves a nice after taste. P’tit Basque is aged only about seventy days. It has a more yellow paste and lacks the complexity of its older, more mature “cousins”. It might be thought of as a “gateway” cheese…to introduce you to sheep cheese before graduating to the more flavorful and 'sheepy" Manchego.
Wine Pairings: Bordeaux, Amontillado, Chateauneuf de Pape
Beer Pairings: Amber ales, Pilsner

 At the National Maple Syrup Festival, you can enjoy the taste of country-made hot pancakes, with 100% pure maple syrup, throughout the day. Besides the food (pancakes with sausage, chicken with maple baked beans and red roasted potatoes), there are demonstrations: of maple syrup harvesting, blacksmithing, dutch oven cooking, wool spinning, and more. Visit the display of American Indian artifacts.
And listen to the music! Over twenty musical groups will perform, some at the farm, and others at Medora Community School. A variety of other activities include the Man Eating Chicken and other oddities inspired by Wall Drug South Dakota, the Ice Bench, horse drawn wagon rides, a petting zoo, and a bucksaw challenge with Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. Special guest Amy Roloff, from TLC’s television program “Little People Big World” will be at the festival on March 13th and 14th.
