Hello Friends and Neighbors,

For those of you who missed it, please check out the New York Times article from last weekend that discussed the growing local food movement in Pittsburgh. Although it did not mention our market, it highlighted locally grown offerings at several of my favorite restaurants- Salt of the Earth, Legume, Habitat and Elements.

Trevett Hooper, chef and owner of Legume, is a regular customer at the Farmers Market Coop of East Liberty and buys his chickens from the J.L. Kennedy Meat Stand! So please follow Trevett's example and buy your meat from the Kennedy's.

J.L. Kennedy Meat Stand Update

The special items for this Saturday, March 5th, are as follows:

Lean ground turkey
Frozen grass-fed ground beef (in 2# pkgs)
Roasting chickens

Special note to our customers- please remember to pick up all orders by 10:30 am on Saturday! We have kept that rule now for 10 years, and it allows us to have the meat out of our cases and coolers in order for proper clean-up. We will try our best to hold the orders if you run into problems and are running late... BUT...please call the stand # (412-661-1875) so that we KNOW you are running late !!

Thanks and see you Saturday!!

Val Kennedy
