Mid July is such a beautiful and exciting time at the market. The fruit scene really gets folks jazzed up. Just-picked cherries, sweet blueberries, plump peaches, sugar plums, black and red raspberries, currants and cantaloupe all create a rainbow of delicious color. And if you're feeling penned up - now's the perfect time to bake a homemade fruit pie! Tomatoes are starting to come on strong in all shapes and sizes, along with zukes and cukes, eggplant, green beans, and peppers. And sweet corn isn't far behind. Savor the season and take joy in the the gifts of Mother Nature. A lot of the normal pleasures of summer are missing this year, but thankfully the sun is still shining, the rain is still falling, and our farmers are still growing wonderful food and gorgeous flowers for all of us to enjoy. See you on the riverfront...

Jess gave rave reviews to Breakaway Farm's brand new
Chipotle Cheddar Bratwurst (just the right amount of heat)

Other offerings this week include cucumbers, eggplant, green beans, cooking greens, spring mix and flower power mix, basil, turnips, beets, kohlrabi, onions, garlic and more.
GARLIC ZUCCHINI BITES

Primordia Mushroom Farm -
Mushroom Musings with Jesse
|
|
It's a bumper crop of Lion‘s Mane this week! So very much is coming in and so very much is coming to market! The sale is on - Normal price: $16/lb., this weekend it’s
$12/lb.!
The Lion's Mane mushroom is a fabulous substitute for shredded crab meat in nearly any recipe that calls for it. I like to make vegetarian
"crab
cakes", but the larger pieces can be sliced into rounds and pan seared
and given an application of an herbed aoli, I have even seen it dipped in tempura batter and deep fried. Whatever you choose to do- this is the weekend to try this fabulous fungus if you haven't yet dared!
As per usual: Orders are not required, but are welcome. Please get your orders to us by midnight on Thursday night. Place orders at
PrimordiaFarm.com

Teels Hill Soapworks
"Delicious' Soaps!
|
Susan is highlighting her foodie soaps this week. Her Espresso soap is made with crushed espresso beans which she superfats with coffee butter. This soap is a great exfoliating soap, gritty but not harsh. Pair it with her Coffee Bean Sugar Scrub (raw sugar, ground coffee beans and coffee butter). If coffee is not for you perhaps Teels Hill's Cocoa Fudge soap is. This soap is made with cocoa powder and cocoa butter and scented with nutmeg. And yes there is a sugar scrub for this bar too. The Chocolate Macadamia Sugar Scrub is decadent!
