Bean Man: We continue to receive great feedback on our Sourdough Bread Mixes. One question has been if yeast can be used – the answer is yes. Simply reserve 1/2 cup water from the water used for the dough mix and combine it with 1 tsp sugar and 1 packet dry active yeast and let sit while you combine the remaining cup of water with the other wet ingredients called for in the recipe – then combine together, mix well and add all to the dry ingredients – nothing else changes. The loaf is still vegan and vegetarian but you will get more rise – the last loaf we made in a 5 × 9 loaf pan ended up measuring at 3-1/2" high x 4-1/2" wide and 9" long. Our oven bakes a little hotter so we set the temperature at 430F.
Don’t forget our Fresh Dry Beans and Mixes as well as our Scottish Oatmeal, Gluten Free Flours and easy Ready to Mix Bean Dip, Refried Beans and Pancakes. Fresh Pizza is always a great option and we have 4 versions for you depending on your taste. We are finishing testing on a couple of delicious soup mixes – as with our other Ready to Mix offerings, we supply the dry ingredients and you provide the wet ingredients.
Bluhen Farm: We are back on the market, these cold snaps set us back some but we are slowly beginning to ‘grow’ again.
Sow’s Ear Piggery: We have great cuts of pork available this week for any meal or special occasion.
Flying S Farms: Slowing returning with some of our baked products, this week we’ve add our popular Buttermilk Biscuits and our Sour Cream Biscuits. What’s the difference you ask…the Buttermilk is a traditional ‘like granny use to make’ and Sour Cream is just a lighter texture biscuits. Both are equally delicious with our jams. We’ve added Blueberry Jam this week. Watch for more being added soon along with our Sour Dough Breads!
The Market methods of Payment is Cash, Checks or Credit/Debit Cards, Invoice ($1.00 fee) or Venmo. Reminder, please make sure your email and address is current.
