Celebrate Living Green in the New Year!!
Traders Point Farm would like to wish you a very Happy and Healthy 2009! As we Celebrate the New Year and make our resolutions, we should be sure to include healthy eating. We have a tasty way to achieve this goal! Pick up some delicious Traders Point Creamery milk, yogurt, or cheese made from the milk of our 100% Organic Grass-fed Brown Swiss cows. While enjoying
the taste and the many health benefits of our CLA-rich products, you will also be helping the environment through supporting sustainable agriculture. Five years ago, Traders Point Farm made their resolution to provide Indiana with quality organic foods produced locally, and today our products are available throughout Indiana and far beyond our borders. 2009 is the perfect time to continue our mission to "Nourish the Land that Nourishes Us All!"

Recipe of the Week
New Year's Party Food
Goat Cheese Phyllo Bites
8 oz Capriole Goat Cheese
8 oz TPC Herb Fromage
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1 pkg phyllo dough
1/2 cup melted butter
1 jar pepper jelly
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the goat cheese and fromage together with the pine nuts and set aside.
Thaw phyllo according to pkg instructions. Lay one sheet of phyllo on
a dry work surface and brush with melted butter. Lay another sheet on
top of the buttered sheet and brush the second sheet with butter.
Repeat until the dough is 4 layers thick. Using a pizza cutter or
sharp knife, cut the phyllo into 1 1/2 inch strips (width, not
lenghwise).
Place 1 Tablespoon of the cheese mixture at the end of each strip and
fold the strip into a triangle, as you would a flag, or paper
football. Repeat all steps until phyllo has all been used. Lay the
triangles on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook approx. 10
minutes, or until phyllo is golden brown. Remove from oven, place
triangles on a baking sheet, and serve with warmed pepper jelly.
