"Smoothie Awareness Week" starts Sunday, August 22, 2010
So, you may have too many veggies to eat, or too may fruits to carry home in your CSA share from the LemonThyme Farm network...so we've decided to put a radical spin on things and announce the creation of our First Annual "Smoothie Awareness" week!
This week, starting on August 22, 2010, Anderson Bourell from B+E's Smoothies will be introducing DSCS customers to a way to "better their breakfast" by mixing all-natural and organic ingredients, found right here at the country store!
Come visit Andy at the Sample Bar, located in the rear of the store, to sample some of his Banana Bread in a cup, or to learn about how you can better your breakfast, and even your life with ingredients found at the Dedham Square Country Store.

Eileen Hickey crowned "Pie Queen"
On Saturday, August 15, 2010, the Dedham Square Country Store held its first annual “Dedham’s Best Pie” competition.
At Noon, pie contestants, accompanied by State Representative Paul McMurtry, and Selectman Paul Reynolds, who both served as guest judges, assembled at the Dedham Square Country Store and presented their pies in hopes to win a $25 “Shopping Spree.”
Contestants were told in advance of baking that their pie must contain all natural or organic ingredients, and each pie must be made at home from scratch.
Carol Cianfrocca of Medfield fashioned an Apple Pie, Eileen Hickey of Dedham baked a peach and nectarine “hybrid” pie, Sandra Agnew of Westwood cooked a blueberry pie, Christina Matta of Norwood presented an Apple Crumb, and Katie Pelczar of Dedham whipped up a Cherry Berry for the competition.
After careful deliberation of about 10 minutes, both guest judges confirmed that Eileen Hickey’s peach and nectarine mixed pie deserved the gold star.
“I’ve never ordered peach pie from a restaurant because I never liked peach” commented Selectman Paul Reynolds during the victory announcement, “But Eileen’s pie has taught me a lesson never to pass up a slice of heaven.”
Representative McMurtry, who awarded Hickey with two free movie passes to his theatre in addition to her $25 spending spree at the store noted that, “my diet has been completely thrown off since this competition, but I’ll never get another opportunity to eat 5 delicious pies in a row ever again.”
At the end of the contest, store Proprietor Greg Agnew exclaimed that the event was a wonderful example of how local, fresh, and all natural ingredients can be used in many exotic and delicious ways, like mixing both red and white peaches with nectarines, to create, “one of the best pies he has ever tasted.”
Each year, the Dedham Square Country Store will open up their doors to competitors in August who wish to submit a pie to be crowned “Dedham’s Best.” For the remainder of the season, the DSCS will be offering organic fruit smoothies by its resident nutrition and lifestyle coach, Anderson Bourell.

Introducing the First Step in Buying Local and Eating Fresh - "The Country Market"
The Dedham Square Country Store, established in November of 2009, is the home of the "Country Market." Located between Nest and the Court Side Cafe, at 626 High Street in Dedham, MA 02026.
Our Country Market uses a "Farmers' Market" style business model by only selling products that would be found in typical Farmers' Markets in New England. Like most Markets, ours is only open one day a week, every Sunday, from 10 am to 2 pm.
All of our products are All-Natural, locally grown and produced, and are completely sustainable. We strive to bring you the freshest produce, seafood, baked goods, and a variety of other products that would easily allow you to shop for your groceries here every week, rather than fighting the crowds at the local grocery store.
Our mission is to be intimately involved with the community of Dedham and the surrounding areas, by supporting local non-profits, encouraging growth of small businesses and their owners, stimulating the interest of community sustainable agricultural models in the New England area, and to help educate our customers about the benefits of eating healthy, and leading a more active lifestyle.
Spread the word by telling your friends, family, and co-workers! And of course, stop by our Country Market and join the e-mail listing to find out what the new products are every week!
