Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  This Week at the Market

Good morning! We’ve got such a bounty at this time of year! It’s nice to walk around the farm and see what all the hard work produces. It’s especially nice to see customers that come and go enjoyng the plethora of items we have to offer. I just want to take a moment and thank you all for continuing to make what I do worth all the effort. I am blessed to have such wonderful customers, neighbors and friends of the market!
This week, AB Farms is back with their beautiful garlic! I have them in the market and in the stand. Also, get our farm friend Chip’s Candy Apple Red Onions in the stand as well!
I hope you enjoyed the fresh picked corn we were lucky to get last weekend! I saved a bag for this week’s creamed corn, salad, and soup!
The watermelon is looking beautiful. I had one that weighed in at 35 ppounds! That one has sold, but there are 2 more smaller ones ready this week.
I am sad to say we have been battling a predator this past week. It has set its sights on our duck flock and has managed to leave us with only 3 healthy and one injured one left. I am hoping to get this thing trapped, but so far has eluded capture. Needless to say, duck eggs will be sparse for some time. Our chickens are coping with the heat and have slowed a bit in laying. We did double the flock size again from our spring hatch. They should begin laying next month!
Have a great week and stay cool!

Foothills Market:  The Market is Open! Peach Festival Edition

This week is the traditional Peach Festival in Johnson County, and Foothills Market is getting into the spirit of the festivities!

All week, we’ll be posting recipes on our Facebook page that feature peaches along with items you can get from our market. We’ll post a different recipe each day between now and Wednesday when the market closes. Recipes will range from simple, fresh salads to main dishes combining peaches with beef. Pick up some fresh, local peaches from our neighbors at Peach Pickin’ Paradise, and try something different.

Of course, we have some peach-centric items on the market, like jam and conserve. Also, for this week, we’ll have some special baked goods that feature peaches. Check out the baked goods section of the market. If nothing else, maybe you’d like some home-baked brownies with sliced peaches and ice cream!

Place your order between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

Let’s celebrate peaches this week!

NashPhilly: Please feature the French onion soup. It comes with a soup kit of Gruyère cheese, provolone and baguette toast points. It tastes like no other French onion soup you have had.

The bolognese I would like to sell more. It’s a great dish but maybe people don’t know what it is because of the name. It’s a delicious and hearty meat and vegetable red meat sauce with fresh parsley and basil. One of my favorite dishes and absolutely delicious with spaghetti noodles.

And finally the Umbria Potato Salad. Great side dish for any type of meal. Would be great to have at your next back yard bbq get together.

Pinky’s Micros: Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll.

UPDATED Recycling Reminder: THANKYOU to those of you who recycle your mason, pickle, sauce, etc jars through M@D. Our vendors are especially grateful for the ones that contained their products as this helps keep their costs down, lids and all. Mason rings can be reused many times. The flat part of Mason lids can be recycled to all sorts of art and craft projects so we welcome those too. For those who donate their clean jelly, sauce and pickle jars, those lids can safely be resealed once.

AVALON FARMS:

One of my praying mantis helpers keeping an eye out for bugs. It was on my windshield, so the sky is reflected.

Hot. So hot. Rain. So much rain. Fungus. Thriving weeds. Veggies that are doing the best they can under the circumstances. But that’s farming.

Sorry I had to discontinue the lettuce. It started bolting (flowering) and that makes it bitter. I’ll be starting seeds for transplanting late August. Hopefully it will be available again by October.

Working on “the plan” for Fall/Winter and Spring. Lots of seeds to start to transplant out later. Napa and regular cabbage, heading and sprouting broccoli, spinach, other greens I haven’t decided on yet. Direct seed turnips, radishes, beets and maybe chard.

Just have to keep moving.  It gets a little complicated keeping up with what’s growing/producing now and moving forward with “the plan.”

JBW FARM FRESH: Did you know that 85% of the ground beef sold in America is sourced outside of the U.S.? Were you also aware of ground beef being incorrectly labeled “Product of USA”? Beef can be labeled that way as long as the meat was processed in a U.S. based Inspection Plant. The beef can be brought from other countries and still be sold as “Product of USA”. Here at JBW Farm Fresh you don’t have to worry about that at all. We are 100% American, Grass Fed & Grass Finished Beef. We are your local farmers. It is a lot of hard work but so very worth it. We do it for our families, for our community, and for the land. If you haven’t tried our ground beef, you are definitely missing out! Try some this week!

MOUNT MORIAH FARMS: The herd has grown! We have several new additions and we are just so excited! These summer days are not for the weary, let me tell you. The early morning milkings to beat the heat are definitely my favorite. As most of y’all know, the breed of goats we raise is Nigerian Dwarf. We absolutely love them. We have been raising them since 2013 and hope to continue on for a long time. They are very affectionate, enjoy attention, and form bonds with both their herd and people. They produce the highest butterfat content of any other dairy goat. Their milk is also higher in protein. Since butterfat is what gives milk its sweet flavor, it’s the sweetest, richest milk of all the dairy goat breeds and holds the most beneficial properties for skin repair!

Martin's Farmstand:  Black raspberries and first sweet corn

Peak season for black raspberries is now. The patches are like a jungle. U-pick raspberry price is $3.75 pint for small amounts and $3 for 10 or more. If you pick a large amount 30+ price is $2 pint. There are also red raspberries to pick today. On the stand we have good stock of picked berries- black and red raspberries, a few gooseberrries, the last few strawberries and the first blueberries. The first 30 dozen local organic sweet corn is here today as supplies last. (90 cents an ear or $9 dozen) We are overstocked on lettuce again as the weather has been good for lettuce. We are going to have a free head of lettuce cart out again today. The u-cut flowers are starting to have a nice amount of flowers ready to cut. They are available free for non commercial purposes again this year. Cut some to make your table beautiful and if you are so inclined also cut some for someone else such as an older shut in person or just to use as an excuse to stop in to someone that you judge could use your friendly face in their lives. If you are doing something with the flowers that makes you money then we would appreciate a donation. It is cucumber season and there is is a good selection of cucumbers and pickles here today ranging from cheap seconds to high end little picklers. I also have $7 boxes of zucchini again today. Daniel
