Although I won't "give away the store," so to speak, I will do all I can to insure everything not shelf stable finds it's way into someone's hands at a great reduction in price. On another note, there is a new cheese in the shop. Although I asked for shipment after my return March 22nd, my Echo Ridge order(which I had to place early to reserve the small quantities they produce) showed up yesterday. There are Maine bries, camamberts in very limited quantities. Samples haven't even shown up yet, so I'll have to purchase some to sample today.</em></strong><a href="http://www.themainemag.com/a-list/1156-cheese"><strong><em>http://www.themainemag.com/a-list/1156-cheese</em></strong></a><strong><em>.

Although I wasn't present at a casual, early meeting, it was passed on to me that some different ideas were tossed around. The idea of a later season, or early fall "Brooklin Harvest Supper" was one. This would be in place of the open market on the green as years past. Farms, producers, restaurants, businesses would donate something and a local foods menu would be offered at a decided upon location(ideas?), at an affordable price. Proceeds to benefit a Brooklin fund or charity, or establish a new one. I think establishing a specific producer's/grower's /farmer's fund might be an idea. $ for start-up, seeds, equipment, replacing systems. Not a loan- a grant model. Throwing it around, and wonder what would be involved?</em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em>Any thoughts?</em></strong></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11356645097649533940noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133422639930267499.post-9580859780826345742010-03-03T00:37:00.001-08:002010-03-03T00:53:41.098-08:00March<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPqb93_YGJc-zuHYchGhfxTT7qgtg0jfwolGmuXMz1w_eEvZ6H2LlXfsKwrWOC-F9mNK8RJ7uqKkeoSd89PONMs4Ts6bNJhW94VvZBCmHCz__7ob4xrDXwm1v_Q1rlx1likuoBOjV9yCRu/s1600-h/taleggio_dop_quarter.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 163px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444327761470197682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPqb93_YGJc-zuHYchGhfxTT7qgtg0jfwolGmuXMz1w_eEvZ6H2LlXfsKwrWOC-F9mNK8RJ7uqKkeoSd89PONMs4Ts6bNJhW94VvZBCmHCz__7ob4xrDXwm1v_Q1rlx1likuoBOjV9yCRu/s320/taleggio_dop_quarter.jpg" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em>I'm very excited to have touched base with a couple of Maine cheese makers that will make their debut in late March/early April to The Cave.
