All of the Twin Oaks preserves are amazing. But they do have "added sugar." Talk to Renee about it; she will explain why sugar is a better stand in for preserving these products than the
juices and pectins in commercially sold brands.

I have no problem with sugar. real sugar.

I'm not sure what the name of the booth is that I bought Mango Preserves from, I think it was Twin Oak Farms, but it was to die for. :drool: It was so fresh it tasted like they just were picked and packaged. There was no added sugar and it was just right!

I'm sure Scootybug knows for sure.

It was from Renee at Twin Oaks! Lots of great preserves depending on season - blueberry, fig etc.

She also does a great Mango Chutney you should try!

Also like the pear/persimmon spread and the dried persimmon/pecan snack mix at another booth.

Local Farmers Market!

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif]Welcome all! Please come join us in Seaside this Saturday from 9am to 1pm and support Walton County's only farmers market. This group of local farmers and artisanal goods producers needs your help to survive through the winter.

The farmers market is a place to: meet, share ideas, relax, gossip, eat, smile, laugh, and support your local community. Please stop buying all of your groceries from "big box" retail conglomerates and invest your dollar where it will stay in the community.
Remember, the strength and vision of this community is what separates us from the rest of the beaches in Florida.

Thanks!

A perfect day for a duck (egg). I will swing by and pick some up. The two 'green wise' eggs I made this morning were crap. Expiration date of Dec 31 on the carton and the yolks were all runny. I wonder when those eggs were laid? Egg update to follow.:wave:

I'm back. Scored a dozen duck eggs. Couldn't resist a mud riding adventure on the state forest trail on the way home. Despite many full throttle puddleslop romps, not a single egg quacked!:D

Cold! But a determined group of vendors and shoppers. Picked up beautiful sweet potatoes, honey that has a "super honey" taste (bay and gallberry tree flowers), dewberry jelly- and sampled some home made mead, which was really yummy in the cold!
