Why Did The Chicken Cross the Road?

We are lucky to have some wonderful sources of locally grown foods in the area I live. There are also several markets nearby. Recently, a menu arrived in the mail from New Gloucester Village Store tempting us with its bakery, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, soups, and wood-fired brick oven pizza.

Once we visited the store we discovered that they also stock a wide variety of wine, beer, groceries, local produce, meats, cheeses, eggs, and other specialty foods. Their menu offers a variety of home made meals made from locally sourced meats and vegetables and they also have plenty of room to sit down for a bite to eat. You can grab coffee, breakfast egg sandwiches, and omelets during the week and sit down for a nice brunch on the weekends. We've been back several times and have enjoyed the food, friendliness, and the atmosphere.

I immediately became a Facebook Fan of the New Gloucester Village Store where they post daily soups, special events (wine tasting!), and was amused with the frequent posts that included photos of a chicken posing in the store.

Last week wcsh6, a local TV station broadcasted a segment on L.C. the chicken and the New Gloucester Village Store.

Today, L.C. was featured in two local newspapers. The Portland Press Herald and the Sun Journal: Why L.C. the Chicken Crossed the Road.
