The Salt Exchange

• Joe Appel, Rosemont Market superstar and all-around good guy, has begun writing about wine for the Portland Press Herald. In his words, he's "the new wine-talking guy."  He introduces himself here. 
• Further in Portland Press Herald reading, Anne Mahale meditates on grilling, timing, and knowing when to strike (as it were). More here.
• Downeast has offered suggestions on the tastiest things to eat in Maine. Fortunately Best Beach Bite - some of the best french (er… Pier) fries in the state - made the list.
• Just a reminder that MOFGA makes it super-easy to find local food, farms, and CSAs in your area.  (And speaking of local food, Jonah Fertig, An Owner at Local Sprouts Cafe Cooperative, is featured in the Meet Your Neighbor section of the Munjoy Hill News
• We are proud to be a participating restaurant in Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation: Portland, Maine. The event will occur on the 27th of this month, and you can learn more about it here.
• And finally… It's Martha's birthday tomorrow, and it may or may not be true that she is a Sephora fiend. Just saying. 

Just a quick update to let you know that we're just getting our first deliveries of local farm fresh pea tendrils, greens, radishes and herbs. We've been getting some really nice strawberries from Massachusetts (there isn't yet much available locally).

To date we have been fortunate to see Matt at Sparrow Arc Farm and Beth at Dandelion Spring Farm and we expect to see them more - and more folks - soon.
