While the market's year round location is Cheviot United Methodist Church 3820 Westwood Northern Blvd. 45211, the location at the church varies depending on other activities at the church and depending on the weather (sunny and warm, we're outside; stormy or cold, we're inside). Just follow the happy voices and you'll find us.
This week the spotlight shines on Jenny Kettering of Angela's Homemade Pies. Just like our other Very Valued Vendors who start out with a small variety of offerings, when Jenny first joined LEWFM she primarily made pies and cobblers. Jenny has continued to add to her lineup of delicious desserts. A number of her additions are the result of customer feedback and requests. For those who are wondering who Angela is, Jenny offers the following information about the origin of the name, along with some informative tidbits about her products.
"Angela's Homemade Pies is a result of my mother's love of baking and feeding her family good farm fresh deserts and the fact that we always had an abundance of fruits available at our family's homestead. She took pride in the quality of food she set on the table using all of the good produce the land provided. That's the same quality I try to put into all the baked goods offered at the market - using Morh's fresh eggs and sometimes some from my own hens, honey from my brothers bees, jam from Jo's Jams and as much local fruits as possible. I am still using Hollmeyer's peaches, and Backyard Orchard's grapes stored in the freezer. Hopefully I will have home grown strawberries this year! Feel free to make suggestions for a product you would like me to make as Autumn's Delight, the Vegan Pecan Pie and the Key Lime Cookies are a request from customers and market venders. I am currently working on a vegan pumpkin pie and a carrot cake and hope to have them at market soon. Who knows what will come as a product of produce the other venders will supply to the market and to Angela's Pies!"

IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS AROUND TOWN
Angela Ebner from Permaganic will be one of our special guest vendors during the month of May kickoff of the Summer of Sustainability. Angela will share her expertise in the area of permaculture, a sustainable way to use your land. Angela and her husband Luke also work with youth in the Over the Rhine area of Cincinnati. They use gardening as a way to help the kids in many ways. Angela emailed us recently asking us to help spread the word about their fundraising effort. Following is information about their campaign that runs only until June 10, 2013.

If you are looking for an event that will be fun for individuals or families, you are invited to attend Gorman Heritage Farm's Farm to Fork Savor the Season on Saturday May 4. This would be a great way to introduce children to a working farm, or to treat yourself to some time to leisurely stroll the grounds, enjoy the delicious foods prepared by expert chefs, and maybe even pick up some cooking tips that you can use at home.
