This Thursday, February 23rd at 5pm, Superior Woodcraft & the Doylestown Business and Community Alliance (DBCA) will host the hugely popular Buy Local – Bucks County Locavore, a free event for locals. The sampling / business card event, which last year brought over 400 area business people together, supports the growing interest in locally made and grown products.

Patrick Kennedy, Vice-President of Superior Woodcraft noted that in the last several years, communities with Buy Local support are experiencing a markedly stronger revenue growth. “The public has really gotten behind and embraced the Buy Local movement,” said Kennedy. “It is inspiring to see how many businesses are reaching out to one another.” Guests will also be treated to a special selection of local foods and beverages provided by the growers and producers who carefully crafted it. “This is also a great opportunity to learn a little about local food and the ‘Locavore' movement; once you've tasted, you'll quickly appreciate the amazing bounty in our own back yard,” continued Kennedy.

Among the array of sustainably grown and specially prepared gourmet treats will be artisanal bread from Crossroads Bake Shop, organic, micro-greens from Blue Moon Acres, charcuterie and pâtés from PorcSalt, unique cakes from Doug’s Cakes, healthy, gluten-free snack chips from Brad’s Raw Chips, fresh-roasted, specialty coffees from The Coffee Scoop, handcrafted chocolates and confections from Laurie’s Chocolates, varietal wines from Wycombe Vineyards, select beers from Triumph Brewery, baked-to-order cakes from Confection Perfection, top quality prepared foods from Just Foods, local produce and gourmet foods from The market at Delaware Valley College, and estate-bottled wines from Rose Bank Winery, In addition, Wash Tyme will be showcasing their natural glycerin soaps, and a variety of products, distributed by Uniquely Bucks.

Ashley Lyons, Sales Manager for Blue Moon Acres expressed the satisfaction that comes from developing relationships with attendees of the Locavore: Buy Local event. “This past year we were able to connect with Triumph Brewery and Bucks County Freedom Fuel, two local companies that are integral to the success of our mission to get local food to our community and run our farm in an environmentally responsible way,” said Lyons.

Independent We Stand, a national organization of independently-owned businesses which has been funded by STIHL, Inc, is also lending its support and endorsement to the event. Bill Brunelle, project manager for Independent We Stand said, “We are honored to be a part of this event. It is businesses like Superior Woodcraft, and all the other locally owned businesses in Doylestown, that inspire us to do what we do.” Local STIHL dealer, and Independent We Stand Member, Wendell Histand understands how critical the community is for local dealers. “Histand Equipment has been a part of the community for 85 years and we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the great folks of Doylestown who understand the importance of supporting local merchants like us,” said Histand.

“The Locavore event held at Superior Woodcraft has been instrumental in promoting Laurie's Chocolates. “I use local ingredients where possible, including wines, balsamic vinegars, butter and cream,” said Laurie Douglass, of Laurie's Chocolates. “As I don't have a retail location, this event lets me take my chocolate samples right to customers, and this incredible, unique location makes the evening pure, delicious fun!”

Andy Rumbold, Wash Tyme Glycerin Soap and Bucks County Freedom Fuel Biodiesel, stated, “The Locavore event has truly helped us connect with the great people of our community and be a part of our local economy as a producer as well as a consumer. We are looking forward to it even more this year than last as we continue to seek local markets for our products.”

Superior Woodcraft’s showroom is located at 160 North Hamilton Street, Doylestown, PA. All business and media organizations, as well as local chambers, are invited to attend.
