Acorn Farm
Sweet Endings: Crostatas, Galettes and Hand Pies
It's happening all around us - gardens bursting with produce, trees laden with fruits, bushes yielding their colorful berries. It's hard to know which favorite to bring into the kitchen next!

IN THIS ISSUE, we're celebrating summer in one of our favorite ways - preparing fresh fruit desserts, rustic-style. We guide you through making your own Fresh Red Raspberry Crostata, individual Summer Peach-Almond Galettes, and a special treat every time we make them, our Best Blueberry Hand Pies. Read on, then try them yourself!

Welcome
Classes and Events

It's finally here! All the beautiful Polish Pottery has arrived and our party happens tonight! Please join us between 5:00-8:00pm for a delicious Polish Dinner and a great selection of Polish Pottery!  Don't miss out on our biggest event of the year!  Starting at 5:00pm tonight, all Polish Pottery can be purchased at 20% off until the store closes on Sunday.  We only do this once a year, so come and have a look.  It's a great time to stock up on wedding gifts, Christmas or Birthday gifts, as well as something gorgeous to put on your own table.
Polish Pottery Party!


There are many new pieces and loads of Unikat/artist signed pieces. There will be an 
enormous selection, conveniently located all throughout the store so everyone will be able to easily select their purchases. We'll have a drawing this evening for three different pieces of pottery, as well as delicious Polish food from Hamtramck! Each piece of pottery will be offered at 20% off 

beginning this evening and throughout Milford Memories weekend.   Be sure to come for the party, though!  We don't want you to miss out on the best selection, the great food, and some terrific drawings!  

 

Polish Pottery Collection

We hope all of you are having a great summer. Fall is just around the corner and we're currently working on our autumn classes. The list should be available in about two weeks! If you're dying to take a class in the meantime, we still have a few spots in our
CLAM BOIL CLASS because it's happening outside.  Call the store if you'd like to register!

 

Our BLUE RIBBON PIE EVENT has a few spots left as well. Do you want to come but don't know the first thing about making pies? I suppose we need tasters as well! -- but you'll need to register as spots are limited. Sharon Mancini will be in to bake a blueberry galette from start to finish, showing you how to make a perfect crust, and answering any pie-related questions you might have. Everyone will be able to sample pies and vote for their favorites, but those that bring pies will have their names entered into a drawing for an Emile Henry pie dish!
