Chapel Hill Creamery Farm Dinner continued
Chapel Hill Creamery Farm Dinner
Monday, September 28 at Panzanella
5:30 to 9:00 pm

Italian-born Alessandra Trompeo, who works as a cheesemaker at Chapel Hill Creamery, arranged the farm and creamery visits in Italy for McKnight and Hawley, and will also join the hour-long discussion, which takes place from 5:30 to 6:30.

The Chapel Hill Creamery started with a desire to make cheese about seventeen years ago. Portia McKnight and Flo Hawley visited the Ashe County Cheese Plant, pushing them closer to taking the leap to make their own cheese. While investigating local sources of milk, they decided that to get the freshest, highest quality milk, they would need to produce it themselves.

With that in mind, they developed their underlying philosophy of raising "cows that are healthy and happy and improving the quality of the land". Chapel Hill Creamery is located off Dairyland Road in Orange County and consists of 18 acres with a mixture of rye, clover and Red River crab grass. The cows move to fresh pasture twice a day, allowing the cows to eat the very best part of the grass and allowing the grass to grow back before the pasture is used again. The herd is composed of Jersey cows because they produce creamy, rich, delicious milk, they are more tolerant of the heat and they are better suited to the intensive grazing system that Flo and Portia use. Portia and Flo maintain the purity of their product by keeping their herd healthy and by monitoring the quality of the milk as it goes through production.

The Chapel Hill Creamery makes around 6-7 kinds of cheese, including Carolina Moon and New Moon (Camembert-like), fresh Mozzarella, Farmer's cheese (also a fresh cheese), feta and one raw-milk, aged cheese made in the monastery style. Monastery cheeses were traditionally named after the monastery where they were made, and in keeping with that, they named their monastery cheese Hickory Grove after the Baptist Church at the end of their road.

Join us September 28th, and enjoy a special menu with exciting dishes created with products produced by Portia McKnight & Flo Hawley.

Bread and Wine Social with Rob Nichols
Thursday, September 24, 6 pm - 8 pm
$12 in advance / $15 at the door


Every day we get to enjoy great bread thanks to the hard work of Rob Nichol and his team at Weaver St. Market. Too often bread is relegated to a side plate, an afterthought in a larger food and wine context. But life in this community would be impossible for many of us if bread of this caliber was not readily available. We will show how great bread and wine are a match that needs little in the way of adornment. Come talk to Rob about his quality work at this casual event.

Time for Fall Cleaning
by Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer
We've heard of 'Spring Cleaning' but what about 'Fall Cleaning'? Winter is the season when we stay inside the most; doesn't it make sense to have the house clean? After a summer of open windows, dust-churning lawn mowers, and bare feet tracking in mud, give the house a good sweep. Think how much nicer it'll be to pull a book off the shelf in November and not find a layer of dust along the top.

Act now, and you can get just about any kind of cleaner on sale. This week's Owner Specials include Mrs. Meyers Liquid Dish Soap, Countertop Sprays, Liquid All Purpose Cleaners, and Liquid Window Spray at 40% off! And the following environmentally-friendly household items are all featured in the September CAP sale:

Naturally Clean Cleaners for floors, kitchens, and bathrooms (16 oz) $3.79-$3.99
Carpet dirty? Biokleen Bac-out Enzyme Cleaner (32 oz) $5.99

Parker Family Farms Dinner


Parker Family Farms Hurdle Mills, NC

"We strive to be good stewards of the land. We are committed to raising our four children, our crops and our animals in a wonderful, nurturing farming environment similar to how we were raised. Our children help feed and water the animals and with harvesting crops. They love to raise their own pigs, cows and chickens for 4-H and just for fun. Together, we strive to be good stewards of the land that God has provided for us.

Our Farmer's Hybrid hogs are raised on open pasture along with a few cows, with small grains for cover crops and corn for feed. We rotate our pigs periodically to graze on forages of fescue, barley, millet, clover and other mixed grasses. Along with pasture to graze, the pigs are fed a corn feed mix.

We adhere to the Animal Welfare Institute standards, practice humane husbandry skills and do not use antibiotics or growth hormones in our animal's feed."
