Yo, Bawlmer! Milk & Honey Comin!

Annie Baum-Stein and Mau Daigle, whose West Philly Milk & Honey Market turns one on Sat., Sept. 4, are having seconds. The couple, with partners Dana and Earnest Valery, is in the thick of construction on a sister store ... in Baltimore. Theres a very strong farmers market scene in Baltimore, says Baum-Stein, but no other retail outlet for local products except for Whole Foods. Charm City chowhounds are saving the date for October, when the locavore general store will debut in the ground floor of the Professional Arts Building, located in the citys happening Mount Vernon neighborhood. They can expect fresh, local produce, gourmet items like single-estate extra-virgin olive oil and a domestic and imported cheese selection that Top Chef season 6 contestant, Vino Rosina chef and Baltimore native Jesse Sandlin is in talks to curate. This is going to bring the farmers market to the public all day, every day. Hopefully, it will do for Baltimore what Milk & Honey has done for West Philly. It will not, however, be able to save the Orioles season.

I'm with Frank on this one. Did Milk and honey "do" anything other than open a store?  Am I unaware of some kind of miracle?  Besides, Milk and Honey is hardly a farmers market vibe; they sell grapefruit and pineapple for peet's sake.
