Farm Where Life is Good: Online Market is OPEN for Business-- Tomatoes, Honey and Wheatberries
Bee taking in winter stores of buckwheat
Life on the Farm
Hot, hot, hot…perfect time to make some salsa, freeze some cherry toms for winter chili, slice up some beefy toms for a nice Garden Burger with home fries. The tomatoes are maturing faster than we can pick ’em!
For those in love with the Colorado Peaches offering from years past, jump on the family’s Facebook page Stillwater Colorado Peaches. The next shipment is August 29th, and they will have Bartlett Pears that date too. The peaches are fabulous this year. They can be ordered directly through the Stillwater family and picked up at their home when the truck arrives.
Jump on to The Market; it is now open for tomato needs and your annual honey and wheatberry supplies.
Ordering will be open from Saturday night until Sunday 8pm. Get your orders in now so packing can begin specific to your requests.
PLEASE NOTE: Deliveries will be made Monday to your chosen Dropsite Location .(ONLY 3 dropsite options.)
Recipes for your consideration
A wonderful rich, sweet and chewy bowl warm cereal is a perfect start to the day. The complex carbs will sustain you for hours.
Whole Grain Fruit and Nut Hot Breakfast Cereal
1 1/4 cup rolled oats (not instant, yuck!)
1 fresh peach, diced
1/2 cup raisins, craisins, or dried apricots
2 cup soymilk (or coconut or almond or hemp or ricemilk)
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup cooked wheat berries
2 tsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Stovetop: Bring soymilk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in oats, fruit and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in cooked wheat berries and cook until heated through, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat. Stir in honey/maple and cinnamon; let stand for 1 minute. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve.
OR
Microwave: Place oats, raisins, soymilk and salt in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Stir to combine. Microwave on High, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Stir in cooked wheat berries and microwave again until hot, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let stand for 1 minute. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve.
Tip: Toast slivered almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

A savory twist on the classic midwestern fruit dessert— using a"vegetable" fruit, the Tomato. A wonderful side-dish, or boost it up with some Tofurky-brand Italian sausages and serve it as a main event. Mmmmm good.
1 T olive oil
10 paste tomatoes, 1/2" dice
1 shallot, fine chop
1 garlic clove, crush and fine chop
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp corn starch

1/4 c grated parmesan-flavor vegan topping (Galaxy Foods)
1 T nutritional yeast
2 T chives, fresh, chopped
1/4 c margarine, melted
Grease ramekins (4x 8-10oz) or baking dish (9×9)
In large skillet, add olive oil, chopped tomatoes, shallots, garlic, sea salt and corn starch. Stir and simmer 10-15min until tomatoes are broken down and puree has thickened. Remove from heat and add whole cherry/paste tomatoes.
Mix dry ingredients for crumble, then add melted margarine and stir to coat.
Add tomato mix to baking dish(es), and top with crumble.

Farm to Table Recipes
A Tomato Sandwich Worthy of a Little Bacon
Ingredients
3 slices bacon, cooked crisp, crumbled and rendered fat reserved
1 room temperature egg
1 clove garlic
1 avocado
Juice of half a lemon
3/4 cup vegetable oil
The Bacon-Avocado Aioli
Toasted slices of a good rustic Italian bread
The best tomatoes you can find, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Salt and pepper
Notes / Directions
1. Process the bacon, egg, garlic, lemon juice and avocado in the bowl of a mini food processor until smooth. Add the vegetable oil and the rendered bacon fat through the holes on the lid slowly while continuing to process until very smooth and thick. Refrigerate for about an hour to thicken a bit more.
2. Slather as much of the aioli as you like on a slice of the toast. Top with a few slices of tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I like these open face but if you like, slather a second piece of bread with more of the aioli and place on top.

Carolina Foothills, SC: Market is Closed This Week
Hello all,
I have decided to keep the market closed this week.
For those of you that don’t know, I home school my kids and there is just too much going on right now getting them ready for their first day on Monday. Once school begins there are many meetings and orientations I have to attend so I figured it was best to stay closed this week.
Hope to “see” you next week. Have a good week.
Susan.
