When our grandmothers needed to attend to the bumps, bruises, fevers and other illnesses their family suffered, they didn't have a corner drugstore. Instead these good women relied on simple wisdom, common sense, and pantries well stocked with herbal remedies. With few exceptions, these herbal remedies were made from plants and herbs that grew in the kitchen garden or were gathered in the fields and woods surrounding their homes. There is a growing awareness of the importance of returning to the use of whole foods and healthy herbs into our modern lives. Merchantville's own Spirit to Sole Connection has many of your herbal needs. Stop by, browse around and chat with owner, Jeannie Muetz Francis. Her home herbal remedy collection is her small way of working to preserve the knowledge of my grandmother and yours for future generations. It is grounded in my desire to explore the natural world of plants and live a simpler and healthier life. 

Get your turkey orders in folks. McFarlan's Market knows their meat and fowl. They are featuring fresh turkeys from Koch’s Turkey Farm - All-naturally raised - NO hormones - NO stimulants - NO antibiotics - for your Thanksgiving Day dinner. Taste the difference! Koch’s Turkey Farm is a true family farm that values the traditional standard of our Pennsylvania Dutch Heritage. Roscoe and Emma Koch first started raising turkeys on the family farm in 1939. The Koch’s Turkey Farm was founded by their son Lowell and his wife Elizabeth in 1953. The third generation of the Koch family, Duane, Barb, Pam, and Beth, took over operations in the mid 1990's. Their All-Natural approach to raising turkey is the reason that Koch's turkeys taste as good as they do.
