The Farmers Market in Leesburg, VA this Saturday was full excitement and energy. Everybody was happy to be out and starting a great farm market season. I know I was! I want to highlight a few vendors that caught my eye.

Shenandoah Seasonal
The eggs from
Shenandoah Seasonal are eye catching for example. I love farm fresh eggs that have the bright yellow yolks. The yolk doesn't lie. You can tell that the chickens are pastured. I also like the chemical free part. The Swiss chard was lovely too. I have been using Swiss chard in a lot of my recipes lately. See
Lamb Pate with Swiss Chard and Goat Cheese. I can't wait to see what else they bring to market this spring!

Georges Mill Farm Artisan Cheese
Another one was Georges Mill Farm Artisan Cheese. They are a small family farm in Lovettsville, VA. They use the milk from their herd of alpine dairy goats! I think I am in heaven. They make six varieties of goat cheese and I can't wait to try them all.
www.georgesmillcheese.com I tried Picnic Woods first. This cheese is infused with the flavor of Herbs de Provence, which gives it a subtle woodsy flavor. Clearly, for me, it is the best goat cheese I have ever had to date. The super creamy texture and complex flavor make it an utter surreal experience. Enjoy my "Ode to Goat Cheese" pictures below.
Simply Nut Free Chocolates
I met MaryAnne Klank, of Simply Nut Free Chocolates. This is a lady after my own heart. She is a dedicated second generation chocolatier who creates handcrafted, quality confections. Visit her website,
