CSA Farmers Market: NEW!
We all know that we SHOULD incorporate more fresh veggies and fruit into our daily routine. But, why choose microgreens? Trust us, they are not just a side dish for your baby carrots and are more than a platform for your mini cucumbers.
First off, microgreens are grown in soil. They’re absorbing minerals from the soil as they begin to mature but are usually harvested before they are 2 weeks “old”. This makes the nutrient density high while preserving their delicate flavors and textures.
Secondly, they reportedly contain up to 6 times more vitamins and phytonutrients than their fully mature counterparts. If you are looking to increase your vitamin intake by food based methods, these are a great choice. Microgreens contain vitamins C, E, and beta carotene.
These are just 2 of the reasons CSA FARMERS MARKET is offering you microgreens from Barefoot Farm, LLC in Otisville. You can choose MILD or SPICY and bring the farm right to your kitchen!

CSA Farmers Market: GROWING Season Update
Growing Season Jan 2017
Plants are hunkering down, not willing to grow just yet.
During January there is not enough heat and sunlight for them to grow.
Right about the middle of February the day length, the sunshine and the warmth is enough to kick start them back into growing.
Right now farmers are ordering their seeds or plants and planning for their new plantings.
The Topaz Apple
It’s a known fact that some babies and toddlers like to bite. Thankfully, that’s a phase they grow out of! Some people, however, like their food to bite them back and they never grow out of that. Many people enjoy a flavorful Topaz apple because it has enough flavor to pack a bit of a punch, without being acidic. This spicy apple isn’t a beauty queen by any means, but it’s flavor makes up for that small deficit in spades. It is a crisp and complex eating apple but also cooks well. (We’ve made some fabulous apple crisp with Topaz!) Read more about Topaz, here

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 farm, week of Jan 9 2017\
Mostly a reminder, not exciting you with choice internet finds about climate, trump or trudeau!
Winter meals are long on comfort foods: stews, mashed potatoes, leek soup, etc. We have lots for you in that department.
A friend has several 20 lb turkeys for sale at $60 each. That’s a good price for conventionally fed birds. Send me a note if you are interested.Healthy eating
