Market News
Hello!
We are back! Our every-other-week winter schedule enables us to get our winter chores done, but it sure feels like a long time between visits! These weeks have been enjoyably mild, with none of the weather drama we have had past winters. We’ll see what February and March have in store for us!
We have a nice selection of winter veggies for you. Good fresh greens and lots of spinach to help you get through. Spinach is so versatile – great raw for salads, cooked, or even thrown in smoothies. It also keeps well, as do all the greens as they are so fresh, that you can order more for the weeks ahead!
And carrots! Boy oh boy, do we have lots of our delicious winter carrots for you! So much sweeter and fresher than anything you get in the store!
That being said, here is your reminder to stock up for next week! Plan now for next week and get your eggs, frozen meats, and veggies to get you through!
Thank you so much for all your support!
See you Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee

Miami County Locally Grown: Tonight's featured vendor? Pumpkin Patch!!
If you shop the Miami County Farmer’s Market at the Troy Lowe’s, you’re probably familiar with Doc Allen and his honey. It was a pleasure to tour their gardens and “honey shed”, learning about his varietal honey – meaning each of their honey varieties is specific to its source – whether clover, wildflowers, acacia or locust trees.
It must have been a combination of the serene setting and their engaging company, but I could’ve happily sat on their porch all day, chatting and sipping iced tea that I normally don’t even like! It was delicious, as was my view.
With 7 total acres, their property is peaceful, utterly lovely… and Doc is the kind of generous, proud tour guide who gladly gives you a taste of everything. I soon learned he was also a gardener after my own heart, when he emphatically stated “Watermelon should be seeded, and tomatoes should be red!” Nell of course gave him the same look I’d seen my grandma give my jokester, gregarious grandfather a million times, which just endeared them both to me even more.
Living and gardening here since 1975, they said they’d always been growing things… from tomatoes they’d sell to restaurants (150lbs a week!) to heirloom melons they’d bought on a trip to Monticello – of course saving the seeds, to continue the strain Thomas Jefferson himself enjoyed. They even used to grow an entire acre of pumpkins, hence their “Pumpkin Patch” moniker, to provide the area schoolkids from Miami East and Piqua a fun field trip where they’d all go home with a pumpkin!
But he’s most proud of his honey, and Doc’s honey is special – not only is it raw and pure, but with his perfect set up, there is no need for it ever to be filtered, heated or strained. Standing in the building specifically for processing his honey, I was wholly envious how well he’d perfected a routine that worked, and afforded him “the best hobby” he ever had.
It all started when his 10-year-old middle son picked bees as his 4-H project, and Father and Son learned together at Bruckner, from the Miami County Beekeepers, where Doc has now been a member since 1982. Their 3rd son also helped care for the honeybees as a hobby, but it was good old dad who carried on after the sons went to college (I gave myself a good laugh when I got home and read what I’d written, that “dad carried on after sons went to cantaloupe” – Nell had been talking with me when Doc came out with yet another tasty sample, and as furiously as I’d been taking notes, it was easy to get a bit mixed up!)
I’m glad so many of you have been taking advantage of having the Allen’s wonderful honey on the market. With all the culinary and medicinal uses for honey, it should be an indispensable part of every home’s medicine cabinet and pantry!

Dawson Local Harvest: Explore the Deliciousness of Hakurei Turnips
Dawson Harvest for Feb. 3rd
Explore Delicious Hakurei Turnips
HI EVERYBODY
Tired of the same old dishes every week? An exciting alternative is Hakurei Turnips, a surprisingly delicate, almost fruity flavor with a nice crunch that has developed a cult following among “foodies”. Though you can eat them raw, by themselves, in salads and slaw, they can also be stir-fried, sauteed’, roasted, and used in soups. If you’re on a diet, substitute for potatoes (2/3rd less calories!).
SUPER BOWL MEANS SUPER SNACKS!
How about them Falcons! Finally, after 18 years the Falcons are back in the Super Bowl, and a great way to enjoy the festivities is with Dips, Snacks, and Desserts from MY DAILY BREAD. Fantastic for entertaining, even if it’s just you and yours in front of the TV!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net
We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.
Have a happy and healthy week!

It’s topped off with a generous portion of Meringue and baked to perfection. Next runner up has been the Ole fashioned Coconut Cream Pie topped with Real Whipped Cream. Just can’t beat those ole Timey recipes. Back to baking everyone have a Blessed Day.

My work travel schedule has prevented listing of Sow’s Ear Piggery premium pork products for a few weeks. We’re back on the market this week and hope to make up for the absence with special pricing across the board. All of our products are listed below $4/pound this week. With the return of winter weather, pork is a versatile entrée for comfort food prepared indoors on chilly January nights. Braised, baked, pan fried, or in stroganoff or goulash, pork from the oven hits the spot!
Thanks!
Andra

Note: Our pigs are raised outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, graze clover and native grasses, forage on acorns and persimmons in season, and are also fed non-corn, non-soy, non-GMO feed (pellets of milo, black oil sunflower seed, and wheat) and fresh fruit and vegetables. They are happy, docile, friendly animals who enjoy a good life and re-pay us in natural, non-antibiotic, non-hormone meat and lard for frying and baking. Our pork is nicely marbled and sweet flavored.
