Check out this challenge to pledge to eat local. Have your friends sign up and you can win prizes.
As we covered in Issue Three, eating local tastes better and these small steps can make a big difference. Start with your local farmers market.
After hanging out at the bottom of our to-do lists for months, we have finally posted a web page for each of the issues. This will give readers direct links to the resources on the web. So if there is something that you have been meaning to look up, but left your idea card at home, no fears. Just go to Merri-mail.com and you will be able to find the link on that issue's page.
We haven't included the full articles. In a few instances we have included more information than we were able to fit into the idea card.
Let us know what you think and what some of your favorite resources are.
We are now offering back issues and single issues for sale, along with year-long subscriptions. So please be sure to share the great news with all of your friends. We have sold out of the first issue, but we are excited to offer Issue #2. If you subscribe now, you will receive Issue #3. Be sure to order both today so that you can have the complete collection - well, almost.
Mother's Day is right around the corner. MerriMail is the perfect gift to send to your mother to say that you are thinking of her all year long. Better yet, also subscribe for yourself so that you can discuss the dozen or so topics found in each newsletter. Our third issue featuring a delicious honeycomb cake by Savannah Bee Company is ready for immediate delivery. Or, just let us know that you want to send it to mom and we will hold it to mail until next week.
And don't forget about our adorable downloadable cards. They are free and we have the perfect one for Mother's Day.
Last Wednesday, we had a fabulous first event - a five-course tasting dinner at The Kitchen at Elkin Creek Vineyard. Thanks to Eris, Jesse and Hugh for you all of your hard work. Welcome to Bonnie, our new subscriber, who joined us that evening, along with 18 other guests.
We posted a few pictures from the event. We are hoping to get several more from Jamie, a friend who took quite a few pictures during the event. You can read a follow-up to the event in our April email newsletter, which also include some interesting ideas that we were not able to fit into the Spring Issue. Please be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date on all of our activities.
