Hello Everybody,
I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving holiday and ate entirely too much food. I know I did. Now, just because you are still eating your way though that mountain of leftovers, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t start planning ahead for the next big holiday meal.
December is full of important meals, whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, Jamhuri Day, Guadeloupe Day, Santa Lucia Day, Bodhi Day, or that one at the new year…what’s it called? Point is, you probably celebrate at least one of those and you’re going to need some food to serve.
Just as with Thanksgiving, we are here to help you will all of your catering needs. Our experienced Deli staff are constantly making delicious holiday favorites. Want something else? Don’t be afraid to ask. It’s been my experience that Chefs Bob and Matt can make just about anything, and make it well.
So, get your order in early and take the worry out of your holiday meal planning. Call us anytime!
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my,
Kyle
Below is Brad’s Obituary, as it appears in today’s Burlington Free Press:
BRADLEY S. MILLER CHARLOTTE - Bradley S. Miller, 58, died peacefully at his home in Charlotte on Nov. 1, 2009, of pancreatic cancer. Born in Burlington, April 1, 1951, the son of Allan R. and Alyce C. (Lemire) Miller; Brad, his brother, and two sisters were raised in Shelburne. Brad was nearly a permanent fixture in the Shelburne Supermarket which he coowned and operated for 35 years. Loved by customers and employees alike, Brad’s passion for fine foods, loyalty to his customers, and commitment to supporting local businesses helped make the supermarket the unofficial social center of Shelburne. As a friend, family and community member, his generosity and kindness were immeasurable. Whether it was serving multiple terms on the board of directors for Maple Leaf Farm, helping a local small business get started, or showing up to help a friend move, Brad was committed to being of service. His membership and avid participation in the AA community have been a source of gratitude for himself and numerous others for many years. Brad was a dedicated collector, switching his focus at various points in his life from fine wines, to European automobiles, and most recently to an assemblage of meticulously maintained motorcycles. His lifelong love of camping, canoeing, and X-C skiing were equaled only by his joy for live music. Brad generously and enthusiastically shared his passions with many. Brad is predeceased by his parents and grandparents. He is survived by his first wife, Cathy Ferree, second wife, Mia Karvonides, step daughter, Nicole Landry, sisters Sheila White and Lorelei Miller, brother Shel Miller, nephews Derick and Tim White, niece Melanie Cameron, and his beloved cat Kiah. There will be a celebration of life service held in the near future, time and place to be determined. Donations in Brad’s memory may be made to any of the following: Maple Leaf Farm at 10 Maple Leaf Rd., Underhill, VT 05489; Caringbridge.org at caringbridge.org/donate (or directly from Brad’s online journal there); Visiting Nurse Association Hospice Program at 1110 Prim Rd., Colchester, VT 05446; or Vermont Respite House at 99 Allen Brook Lane, Williston, VT 05495.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Doug Bradley, and I am the seafood buyer for the store. I want to try and settle some of the myths and rumors about the farm raised fish industry.
First of all, we buy almost everything that we eat from farms, so why not fish? As most people are aware, we consume considerably more fish each year than can be caught in the wild, and that number grows annually. Fish is good food, and good for you. Omegas much? Salmon is by far the most popular seafood at the Shelburne Supermarket. As the demand for fish grows, we will see more and more farm raised fish on the market.  It is consistent, well managed, and our future.Â
Many people think that the farms are dirty and the water impure, therefore making the fish unhealthy to consume. Not really true! Especially for the farm raised fish of the US, Canada, Austraila, and the British Isles. We even often have certified organic Salmon from the Shetland Region of Scotland. If more people were willing to eat farmed fish on a regular basis, our seafood population, especially Salmon, would be in much better shape. The West Coast Salmon season has been cancelled for the 2008 and the 2009 seasons, so the wild salmon that we are getting is all from Alaska. It is high quality, but expensive. If that is all that’s available, it won’t be long befor that is overfished and rare as well. I think that we have no choice but to embrace the farm raised seafood industry. We currently offer excellent shrimp from Mexico, the Salmon that I mentioned earlier, Talapia from Vietnam, Barramundi from Massachusetts and Australia, among Others. Stop in at the store and check out our farm raised seafood. We’ll be happy to discuss with you the different choices available. Thanks, and we’ll see ya’ at the fish counter!
Doug
