Worms are a great way to compost. Composting reduces the space in the landfill and speeds up the composting process that occurs naturally. The castings produced from the worms provide many nutrients to houseplants and gardens.

The Hidden Water in Everyday Products

Two  everyday materials – plastic and cotton – are water intensive.  It takes just under 24 gallons of water to make 1 pound of plastic. In fact, it takes at least twice as much water to produce a plastic water bottle as the amount of water the bottle holds. And the water footprint of 1pound of cotton fabric is 1,320 gallons. That’s more than 700 gallons of water for one new cotton shirt.

Learn more about the hidden water in everyday products and what you can do to help conserve water!

Support Your Community by Supporting Your Community's Farmers

Family farms are an American tradition in danger of fading away.

• Family farms are an important part of the American tradition of self-sufficiency, forming the bedrock for communities across the U.S.
  
  
• Since 1935, the U.S. has lost 4.7 million farms.¹ Fewer than one million Americans now claim farming as a primary occupation.²
  
  
• Farmers in 2002 earned their lowest real net cash income since 1940.³ Meanwhile corporate agribusiness profits have nearly doubled (increased 98%) since 1990.⁴
  
  
• Large corporations increasingly dominate U.S. food production. Four large firms control over 80% of beef slaughter, 59% of pork packing, and 50% of broiler chicken production.⁵

Family farmers are the heart of Americar's rural communities.

• Local family farmers spend their money with local merchants. The money stays in town where it benefits everyone and builds a stronger local economy. Independent, family-owned farms supply more local jobs and contribute to the local economy at higher rates than do large, corporate-owned farms.
  
  
• Eating locally grown, healthy food strengthens your family and community.
  
  
• Local farmers who sell direct to consumers receive a larger share of the profit for their food.

Buying local is this easy:

• Find a farmer, farmers' market, farm stand, or local food outlet near you, visit
• Shop at your local farmers' market or farm stand for the freshest, best tasting food available. It s easy to find local food. There are over 3,100 farmers' markets in the U.S.—one is probably near you!⁶
• Encourage your local grocery stores and area restaurants to purchase more of their products from local farmers.

Home made pasta, pesto & gluten free items
Link to Gluten-Free Items (weekly listing) 

A Forkable Feast is celebrating the second anniversary of its retail operation.  It has been in the catering business since 2000.  The market is a logical extension of our current operation enabling us to showcase our new line of handmade pastas and hand crafted pestos.  

We are also expanding our line of gluten free products based on a significant demand in our community for gluten free products that taste delicious.  The cinnamon buns available at each market are a wonderful example of how good gluten free can be!  Remember our pestos are not just for pastas anymore.  They make wonderful marinades, finishing sauces for grilled meats and vegetables and delightful bruschettas.

A Forkable Feast is your full service caterer and can accommodate special dietary needs including Vegetarian and Gluten-Free meals for your guests. We can also assist you with rental items, bartenders or servers - whatever your needs, we can help. Just call Chef Michael Shields to discuss all the details and schedule a tasting.
