		<title>Farmer&#8217;s Markets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#39;ve started working with two farms to bring in native Maine meat to the shop. I&#39;m really excited about the fact that now, a customer can come into the market and purchase really beautiful ingredients for a whole meal.

		<title>Fresh Raw Milk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
It may currently be considered one of our best kept secrets, but at the rate word spreads in this town, it certainly won&#39;t be for long. For the past few months we&#39;ve been one of the very few places in the Portland area to purchase fresh, local, unpasteurized milk. We&#39;re currently sourcing our milk from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pepato sheep milk cheese from Italy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New in the shop: Pepato is a sheep milk cheese with peppercorns in it from Italy. It is aged for about 6 months and is as dry as Piave, but more crumbly. It has what they call &#8220; a mouth feel&#8221; (really the texture you feel in your mouth) that is silky. The sweet of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Samoon bread made in community kitchen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have just started carrying &#8220;Samoon&#8221; made right here in our Community Kitchen. A gentleman from Iraq, thirty years a baker, has started making them.

		<title>The Cheese Lady and How She Came to Be</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cheese is not my profession. It may be my passion, but it&#8217;s not what I was trained for. One of my sons is transferring to the University of Maine at Orono. I went there too. I got a degree from Orono after 7 years of undergraduate education at 5 different schools and 3 different majors. [...]]]></description>
