8 FUN FACTS ABOUT HONEY BEES
From Paulette Berry

1. Honey Bees can fly up to speeds of 15mph.

2. It takes tens of thousands of bees to produce the 60 pounds of honey needed to sustain the colony over the winter months.

3. All male honey bees are called drones.

4. A single honey bee worker produces about 1/2 a tablespoon of honey in its lifetime.

5. A queen honey bee lays up to 1,500 eggs per day and may lay up to one million in her lifetime.

6. A single worker bee may visit up to 2,000 flowers per day.

7. Honey bees carrying pollen must flap their tiny wings 12,000 times per minute to stay aloft.

8. A honey bee colony can contain up to 60,000 bees.

Berry's Bees is a small, family-owned apiary in Indian Trail with additional hives in Charlotte, Monroe, Marshville, and Matthews. They raise four species of honeybees and strive to provide their customers with only the purest and highest quality of products.

 

Now is the Time to Dry Your Herbs  

by Ginette Morrison

Now would be a very good time to dry the herbs from your garden or any you can buy at the market from our various vendors. Why? One reason, of course, is the cost! Bottled, dry herbs come with a high price compared to the ones you can dry, especially if you grow them yourself and don't use pesticides!   Second, bottled herbs, unless SPECIFIED on the label, have all been IRRADIATED. I asked a McCormick representative in 2002 when I was a buyer, and he acknowledged the practice of using radiation then.

Companies like McCormick use radiation for many reasons: 
  • Prevention of Food borne Illness 
  • Preservation 
  • Insect Control
  • Delay of Sprouting and Ripening 
So how to dry your herbs?

The easiest way to dry your herbs is by hanging them in a warm, dry place. Sturdy, low-moisture herbs take best to this treatment: Think sage, thyme, summer savory, dill, bay leaves, oregano, rosemary, and marjoram. Herbs with a higher moisture content, like basil, tarragon, lemon balm, and the mints, don't take well to hanging, as they mold easily. The use of a dehydrator or even a very, very low temperature oven will do the trick. 

First things first: Make sure your herbs are clean (dirt and bug-free). Shake them out, rinse them with water, and then pat them dry with a clean towel. Then, pick off any discolored (brown or yellow) leaves.

Find a warm, dry spot where you can hang your herbs to dry. While it might make things prettier, hanging herbs above your stove isn't the best idea; it's not a very dry place. The ideal temperature is between 65� and 70� F.    
Making sure not to crowd them (you want maximum exposure to air for each leaf), tie your herbs securely with twine or string and hang from a rafter, a cabinet pull, a clothes hanger, or a larger, thicker piece of twine.

Let your herbs hang, undisturbed, for 1 to 3 weeks, checking on them occasionally. If they fall, you'll want to catch them before any critters or pets do. Herbs with woodier stems like rosemary will take longer than more delicate herbs like parsley, so some of your herbs will likely be done before others. Each is different, like a precious snowflake, so be patient!  

When the leaves crumble between your fingers, your herbs are ready to be taken down. For the woodier herbs, like rosemary, strip the leaves off as you do when they're fresh against the grain. For delicate parsley and thyme, crumble the leaves gently with your fingers. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Herbs dried inside will retain better color and flavor. Enjoy!

DID YOU KNOW?

The Waxhaw Farmers' Market is a non-profit organization established to provide a venue for 20 to 25 local 

farmers and craftsmen to sell farm-fresh produce and specialty items to the Waxhaw area and surrounding communities. As a grower-producer-only market, you won't see bananas or pineapples, for example, and all of our produce will be fresh and in season.

 

The apples, along with the cheese, are local items not currently available from our farmers and vendors. When these very valuable items are sold at the Manger's Table, the funds raised help us with land leasing, the purchase and upkeep of our tents, advertising, insurance, and all the management and amenities we provide for the market. 

 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO VOLUNTEER, OR DO YOU HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT LOOKING TO COMPLETE COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS?

We appreciate the support of our volunteers! If you'd like to help at the Manager's Table, the coffee table, or help put out or take down our signs, or if you'd like to volunteer to help a vendor set up, please let me know. If you're a musician or chef and would like to share your talent with us, please email or see me at the Manager's Table.

 

NO PETS PLEASE!

Although we enjoy our canine friends, it remains that we are a food-based market place. For sanitary, health, and safety reasons, we ask that you do not walk your dogs around the market. Guide dogs and dogs that provide services are welcome with their human handlers. Thank you.

Chosen Roaster

Alan Hersh and Russell Grastorf

 

I remember when I was a kid and my family would go into town.  There was a little nut shop that roasted nuts freshly every day.  The aroma made my mouth water.  No one does that anymore...until now! Chosen Roaster is a locally owned nut roasting company located in Waxhaw, NC.  We hand-roast shelled peanuts, cashews, almonds,

walnuts and pumpkin seeds for a delicious, unforgettable natural treat.

 

We intend to change how people think about roasted nuts-from that deep-fried, salted nut like they are used to getting-to our healthy, hand-roasted nuts. We are changing the world one nut at a time!

We want to share these products and their uses with you, bringing you tastier meals for healthier lives! Our naturally flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars do not contain artificial coloring or preservatives. They are also cholesterol, sodium, and gluten-free. And our olive oils stay fresher longer since the actual herbs, citrus, berries, chocolate, mushrooms and fruit particles have been removed, and only the natural flavors remain. 

 

Research continues to show that olive oil and balsamic vinegar both contain healthy antioxidant-loaded polyphenols that may help prevent cancer and increase longevity. Olive oil has been called "liquid gold" and "youth in a bottle!" And tasting our naturally flavored balsamic vinegars is like a visit to a candy store for grown-ups! At only 14 calories per tablespoon, you can put our balsamics on everything!

Pour. Savor. Enjoy!

Ginette Morrison
Market Manager

I'm a small farmer, and I like to share my garden with people. I offer seedlings in the spring; I have all kinds of herbs and heirloom and hybrid vegetable plants. I have the unusual or hard-to-find varieties that customers are often hunting for. Of course, I sell delicious chicken eggs, too. My chickens roam free in a large yard. They're fed natural grains and fresh vegetables daily.

I love the market, and, as its manager, I have been so happy to see it grow. I think we're becoming a southwest Union County attraction, and, certainly, we're offering our community better, healthier food choices all "under one roof".

McCord Farm

I first became interested in having chickens when I saw a blue egg! 
I just love the colors. They're all so individual and different. So are the sizes and shapes of eggs.

Next thing I knew I had Rhode Island Reds, then Leg Horns... 


My egg supply grew as my chickens grew, and I just had to start selling my delicious farm-fresh eggs! 

I bring dozens and dozens of my eggs (and sometimes duck eggs) to the market each week, and I love selling them to the most wonderful customers!
