Miami County Locally Grown: We are Open for Orders!
Tonight we feature the Buehler Family with their amazing beef and pork!!
When I got home from the Buehler family’s farms, I told my husband how refreshing it was to meet such NICE people… the kind who start the visit as strangers and by the end make you feel part of the clan.
I first met Josh and Stephanie who, with their three adorable children, raise the beef so many of you have been enjoying on the market! And what a great set-up they have for the calves they raise on the hay, non-gmo corn, and soybeans grown on the family farms… lots of room, and such a beautiful farm – no wonder their meat is delicious!
My tour continued over to the home of Josh’s parents, Phil and Joan, who gave me a shock when I stepped into their garage and had freezer-envy – a huge, five door freezer with glass fronts just brimming with mouth-watering cuts of Josh’s beef, and the incredible pork Phil raises with son Matt.
Touring their farm, I loved seeing so many sets of mother pigs out in the sunshine with their piglets. To think I was looking at animals whose lineage began over 40 years ago with Phil’s father!!
Their sprawling acreage was simply beautiful, and I was in for another pleasant surprise when we got to Matt’s farm just down the road and before my eyes was the corncrib of my dreams – freezer and corncrib envy in the same afternoon!
I may have come home hours later than I intended, but all was forgiven as I cooked up some of the bacon Phil had given me to sample. Our whole family LOVED the ham steaks, and we made such a flavorful soup with their beef soup bone!
If you want to taste tender, fresh meat from an animal that was both raised locally and well cared for, try out the Buehler’s this week when you’re shopping for breakfast or dinner!!
And thank you to Philand Matt for bringing their great freezer van down each week so we can offer meat on the market even before we secure our own freezer! I’m so glad to have you!
Champaign, OH: Hello!!

Recipes
Sweet Zucchini Crumble
Silky smooth baked zucchini is the surprising filling in this sweet dessert. Like the best apple crumble, this dessert has a tender, lemony-sweet, spiced filling just waiting to be discovered beneath its irresistible, crunchy crust. Don’t count on having leftovers. From Farmer John’s Cookbook: The Real Dirt On Vegetables
Serves 6 to 8
4 1/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
11/2 cups shortening, softened, or butter, cold
6–8 cups thinly sliced zucchini (about 4 large zucchini)
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground or freshly grated nutmeg
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Stir the flour, 2 cups of the sugar, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add the shortening or butter and cut it into the flour with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse oatmeal.
3. Pour half of the mixture into a 9×13-inch cake pan. Using your fingers or a rubber spatula, press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set it aside.
4. Combine the zucchini and lemon juice in a large pot over high heat and cook until zucchini is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer for 1 minute more. Stir in 1/2 cup of the reserved flour mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove the pot from the heat to cool for 10 minutes.
5. Pour the zucchini mixture over the baked crust and sprinkle with the remaining flour mixture. Return the pan to the oven and bake until it is lightly browned and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes.

Champaign, OH: Hello, Old Friend!
As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.
Hello old friend,
It’s really good to see you once again.

Have you ever tried Bok Choy? Bok choy (aka pak choi), Brassica rapa, is a type of Chinese cabbage. Records show that the Chinese have been cultivating the vegetable since the 5th century AD. It wasn’t introduced to the United States until early in the 20th century.
Bok choy prefers mild to cooler weather and will bolt when temperatures are consistently colder than 50 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer than 75. It can withstand occasional frosts, making it a great crop for the early spring here in Yavapai County. Plants are generally ready to harvest 50-60 days after planting. Most of the bok choy found in grocery stores and farmers markets is “baby” bok choy, meaning it was picked while still immature and/or is a variety selected for its small size.
When harvested, the plant is cut just above the roots, leaving a loose head of leaves attached by their stems to the base. All parts of the harvested vegetable can be eaten. When selecting bok choy, feel for stems and leaves that are still somewhat crisp. Store the vegetable in the fridge and use within a few days to ensure that it still has its crunch.
Bok choy is an excellent source of vitamins A and C and K and a good source of potassium, folate, vitamin B6, calcium, and manganese. It has a mild flavor and slightly crunchy texture, and is fantastic in stir-fries. It is a great stand-alone vegetable when sautéed—the stems stay crisp while the leaves wilt, becoming silky. You’ll find bok choy in nearly all Asian food cultures. Bok choy features prominently in soups: Japanese Udon, Vietnamese Pho (a noodle soup), Filipino pork sinigang, and Taiwaneese beef soup. It’s a popular ingredient in rice and noodle dishes across Asia. Bok choy is truly a delightful green to experiment with and mix up your greens intake.
Give this nutritious vegetable a try!
