Market is OPEN -- See you Wednesday
The Market is OPEN! The Grills are firing up and outside gatherings are coming together, many things on the market this week that will help make your events memorable. From beverages, condiments, desserts, breads, meats and vegetables and more. Be sure to plan for next Sunday and pick up some things for the ’Father’s’ in your life.
News from our Growers:
Spring Meadow Farm: Available this week, Kale, Fresh Garlic Bulb and Ever-bearing Strawberries
Oakview Farm: We have Duck Eggs for sale this week from Mallard, Welsh Harlequin and Pekin Ducks. They are great for baking as the whites are much more sturdy than chicken eggs. Duck eggs also have a more ‘eggy’ quality so they are great for frittatas and quiches.
CS3 Farms: Do you know about shrubs, tonics, or drinking vinegars? They were popular in Colonial America during the 17th and 18th centuries, and have enjoyed a revival in recent years. They are called by any of those names, and ours is very concentrated so you can add it to your choice of beverage for a tangy, sweet/tart, thirst-quenching mixture of honey, light vinegar, fruit or herb. We initially have wolfberry mint and ginger fig shrubs available. They can be used to add flavor to water, carbonated water, kombucha, or your choice of adult beverage. We are also working on some delectable herbal honey infusions. Check back for those next week! (Find in Fruits & Fruit Juices & Drink catagory)
We also have plenty of Pumpkin Seed and Sunflower butter, Herbal Power Balls, and Golden Pecan Bites, our Gourmet Mustards, Hummus, and herbal teas.
6R Farms: New item this week, Leeks! Use like onions, excellent saute or roasted add to vegetable or top a pizza, delicious!
RnR Farms: Wonderful year-round soil grown lettuce, 6 choices to choose from. Delicious with any meal.
Flying S Farms: Beets, Cucumbers and Squash are available this week. Rosemary Breads and Rolls are back on the Market by request!
