Just a quick note for passionate localvores:
Vermont Shortbread Company will be doing a demo at Sweet Clover Market in Essex on Saturday, November 10, from 3-6.
Stop by for a taste of our famous shortbread and hang out with me for a few minutes. I love nothing more than to chat with local foodies! If you'd like to place your order for your holiday shortbread gift box now, I will be delivering to Sweet Clover a few days before Thanksgiving and Christmas so you can pick up your order for the holidays. By ordering in advance you'll be ensured the freshest product possible in the flavor of your choice.
If you're looking for some creative dessert ideas, you could consider picking up some Island Homemade Ice Cream, also available at Sweet Clover Market, and choose from a plethora of locally made dessert toppings (so many I can't even remember all the brands). This is what they've done at Leunig's Bistro in Burlington and I can vouch for the yumminess of their creation! Heat some shortbread in the microwave for a few seconds, top with ice cream and a topping of your choice and voila, you have an elegant locally made, unique dessert option for the holidays.
Sweet Clover Market has so many wonderful local offerings. Another of my favorites is Eddies Energy Bars which we buy by the dozen and keep in the freezer for school snacks and healthy snacks (after the guilt of holiday overindulgence sets in).
Stop by on Saturday if you're in the area. I'll try to post photos at a later date.

Thanks for the plug, Ann! Good luck at Sweet Clover--let me know how it goes!
