*MESSAGE FROM MARYS PEEPS…
“I thought it would be nice once a month to draw a name from every order I get in that month and at the end of the month for that last order, pick one of my products and give it to that drawn number. IT WOULD BE A RANDOM DRAW but someone among my customers would receive something free. I also would like to add some fresh herbs bundles occasionally to people who have ordered herbs in the past. My herbs needs thinning and I would like to share them! I am a sharing person and I appreciate my customers very much and would like to show them that. I would send a personal message to them for a month with orders so that this is what I will doing till after Christmas. Its my own way of appreciating my customers.”
THANK YOU “MARYS PEEPS” for her hard work, dedication and true example of taking great care of her customers!

Farm to Table Recipes
Sausage, Pepper & Mushroom Pizza
From EatingWell: September/October 2010
This sausage, pepper and mushroom pizza is just a little more work than calling for delivery (but not by much), but there’s no tipping required when you make it yourself. Plus you get it fresh from your oven, and with whole-wheat dough and a generous amount of vegetables on top it’s far better for you. Add in season vegetables from the farmers market for more flavor!
Makes: 6 servings
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS1 pound prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat (The Bread Lady)
6 ounces Italian turkey sausage, about 2 large links, casings removed
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup water
1 cup prepared marinara or pizza sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, preferably “fancy”
Position oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Roll out or stretch dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, crumble sausage into a medium nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, breaking up with a spatula or spoon, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Place bell pepper, mushrooms and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on High until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Spread sauce evenly over the crust. Top with the sausage, pepper and mushrooms and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until the crust is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

Group Order : Grass Fed Cheese
Group Order for Grass-fed Cheese This Weekend
This weekend we will be taking orders for grass-fed cheese from Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese and Jason Wiebe Dairy.
Low Temp Pasteurized and Raw Milk Cheeses will be available.
I’ve asked the cheese makers to put “(Raw Milk Cheese)” in the title if it is raw cheese aged 60 days according to FDA regulation. All other cheeses are low temp pasteurized.
Raw milk cheese that is listed on the market is safe for human consumption and is aged at least 60 days per FDA regulation.
Prices and available sizes will be on the market website tomorrow for ordering. The pricing will include shipping and taxes/fees.
The cheese will NOT be available for pick up this Tuesday. Please allow at least 2 weeks. I will email you when it is available for pick up.
- Cows Raised without synthetic hormones
- Cows are grass-fed and raised on pasture
- Old World, Handmade Cheese making Techniques
- Cheeses made with non-homogenized low temp pasteurized or raw milk and aged at least 60 days to comply with the USDA regulations for raw milk cheese production
- Vegetable-based rennet, to make it more acceptable to vegetarians
- Cheeses that are not considered raw are pasteurized at the lowest legal temperature for 15 seconds
See Kenny’s and Jason’s website for more detailed information about their process: http://www.kennysfarmhousecheese.com/
http://www.jasonwiebedairy.com/index.htm
Benefits of Grass-Fed Cheese
- One of the few foods that contains a perfect balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, a ratio ideal for your health
- Very high in CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) In fact, it contains five times more CLA than dairy from grain-fed cows! CLA, which are most abundant in grass-fed products, are among the most potent cancer fighters in all foods.
- Considerably higher in beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E than cheese and other dairy from grain-fed sources
- High in the healthy calcium and protein your body needs
- Free from growth hormones and antibiotics
Volunteers Needed!
THANK YOU Marie, Michelle, Marianna and Stephanie for volunteering on Tuesday!!! We couldn’t have a co-op without volunteers and we appreciate you all so much!
The August calendar is posted and we need volunteers for next week!
