Subject: Noel The Irishman Produce Stand

There was an inquiry yesterday about Noel on the Chatlist.

I called Noel and he asked me to post this for him on the Chatlist.

Do to circumstances beyond his control he had to relocate all of his horses to good homes and he sold his farm.

He hopes to re-open the Produce Stand, next month, in June 2012, with produce from Cane Creek Farms.

All of his green houses have been relocated to Cane Creek Farms.

Pittsboro, NC – The General Store Café will be re-opening in August if one chef and business owner has his way.

The Pittsboro-based business has been sold to Greg Lewis, the general manager and owner of the Cary-based company Catering by Design.

Lewis plans to renovate the interior of the café, and to revamp the menu. He said quite a bit of the furniture has been sold, and he’s replacing most of the tables and chairs.

Subject: Chatham Beverages You Can’t Miss

I’m working on a magazine feature highlighting Chatham’s best beverages — top selections prepared at local restaurants, breweries, vineyards and coffee shops.

Drinks may include coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer, wine, cocktails or ice cream beverages. The range is fairly wide, but does not include soup or other “food” items. All must be locally made and locally available.
