Wine, Cheese & Jazz in The Loft Postponed!!
Due to the Wild Winter Weather, our Wine, Cheese, and Jazz Night in the Loft on January 15 has been postponed! We will be rescheduling this event in the very near future. Keep a lookout in the "Upcoming Events" section of our Website and in the Events Calendar of our Newsletters for the new Date!
Lasting Memories Created on The Farm
Recently we received a letter from a visitor thanking us for providing a wonderful place for lasting memories to be created and shared. She spoke of her memories on the farm as "gifts", the kind without wrapping or ribbons. Her first memory was a special Saturday visit to the Winter Farmer's Market, lunch with a long time friend....enhanced by the Loft Christmas Tree lights sparkling over them as they reminisced! Another was the joy of seeing her 3 year old grandaughter burst with excitement, while sharing her story of seeing the cows being milked!
And that got us thinking... What is it that makes Traders Point Creamery so unique?
Is it the rolling pastures set alongside Eagle Creek? The adorable Brown Swiss calves? The healthy, organic yogurts, cheeses, and ice cream made from non-homogenized, CLA-rich, Creamline Milk? The Simple. Fresh. Organic Food and ambiance found in The Loft Restaurant? Is it the community of farmers, vendors, and conscious consumers? Or is it the Traders Point Creamery mission of reconnecting people to the producers and practices of sustainable agriculture?
We hope that Traders Point Farm and Creamery is a place where visitors can experience "gifts" all year long. What special memories do you have of TPC!
Send us your story. Email to events@tpforganics.com or mail to "Memories", Traders Point Creamery, 9101 Moore Road, Zionsville, IN 46077. We will share these memories in upcoming newsletters.
