Her pleasure in the walk must arise from the exercise and the day, from the view of the last smiles of the year upon the tawny leaves and withered hedges and from repeating to herself some few of the thousand poetical descriptions extant of autumn… – Jane Austen, Persuasion

Dear Customers,

We are certainly blessed to live in a country where the scenery around us changes, reminding us that all life is cyclical. That is also true within Herma’s store itself as we start thinking about merchandising and decorating for the Christmas holiday. We at Herma’s are feeling a sense of excitement as the very first droplets of anticipation are felt for Christmas shopping along with the upcoming festivities of our 23rd annual Open House.

Herma’s 23rd Annual Open House

We hope you will mark these dates in your calendar as we plan for another fun, festive, food-oriented open house which will take place 4 Saturdays in a row starting November 12th.

November 12th – November 19th – November 26th – December 3rd

Herma’s Cheese Special of the Week – 25% off

Ubriaco Riserva

This cow’s milk cheese has been soaked in red wine must and placed in a cellar for 14-15 months. Nutty and sweet are combined flavours within this cheese as the must mingles with the sweet crystalline of the cheese. Enjoy with a merlot or cabernet.

Sale lasts for the week, while supply lasts.

We hope to see you in the coming days and are so looking forward to those of you arriving who signed up for our first Rockin’ the Raclette Class on Saturday. Best wishes for a wonderful, fun-filled autumn weekend.

Sincerely,

Meredith Ender
