Diane Conners writes about Munson dietician Laura McCain, who offers monthly cooking classes at the Farmers market at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons in Traverse City. She invites her fellow employees from the hospital to come with her to the market, where she lugs her wok and portable burner to demonstrate simple dishes from whatever is available at the market that day.
Great article in the Traverse City Business News about Cherry Capital Foods. Since Eric Hahn started the business 15 months ago, sales have gone up 800 percent. And what's good for his business is good for the farmers participating. Since working with Cherry Capital Foods, five farmers have had to expand their growing operations. Currently, more than 150 area farmers sell their produce directly to Cherry Capital Foods, which then delivers the goods to businesses throughout Northern Michigan, as well as Detroit, Chicago and Grand Rapids. Nice to know more businesses are serving fresh local foods to their customers. It's a win-win for all concerned.

All you ever wanted to know about chard. Check out Sally Ketchum's Record Eagle column "In the Kitchen: The truth about chard." Sheds a whole new light on this often disliked veggie. The Chard/Feta Torte sounds delicious, can't wait to try it.
Forty-Five North opened its temporary tasting room earlier this month at its production facility at 8580 E. Horn Rd., northeast of Lake Leelanau. Their "real" tasting room is a 120-year-old barn that was disassembled in Wyoming, Michigan, transported to the vineyard and, as owner Steve Grossnickle blogs, "is now in the process of being raised as a rustic, nostalgic remembrance of the past." It should be ready to welcome tasters this fall. Check out the new wines they're offering! Sounds like there's something for all tastes.
