Lent is nearly upon us, St. Isidore Market Family!
A lot is happening this week: Lent begins this week with Ash Wednesday, Community Markets Inc. celebrates 4 years tomorrow on March 1, and the Unity Campaign begins also!
Have you Stocked Up On Seafood for your Lenten Fish Fridays? If not, Order Here to hook all our seafood options as well as our special March foods that are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.
- NEW! Seafood Time! At Crestview Meat Market, Tuna Fillet is the latest seafood option to wash onto the proverbial shores of your dinner table. Each tasty package contains 3 frozen fillets and is a great excuse to fire up the grill with the recent warm weather! Also, don’t forget Crestview’s other options of Salmon, Catfish, Breaded Butterfly Shrimp, and Tilapia Fillets as well.
- NEW! March Bread! Bolivar Bread Bakery is offering their March Special of Irish Soda Bread to celebrate St. Patrick Day! This buttermilk-based loaf contains currants, lovely caraway seeds, and a crumbly sweet texture that is sure to gain the approval of even St. Patrick himself!
- Best Egg Prices Around! Egg prices at the store stressing you out? You can relax at the St. Isidore Market! Cedar Ridge Hydroponics located in Martinsburg offers nutrient-dense & delicious Local Farm Eggs for under $5.00/dozen only at our Market! We’re also working with some owners of backyard flocks in the area to ensure that there are plenty of local & affordable eggs for you and your family.
Please Note: Due to the current egg shortage, we’re limiting each family to no more than 3 dozen eggs per week. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
