Market Reminder!

Summer squash season is finally in full swing, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already wondering what to do with it all. Luckily, the internet is packed with recipes ranging from beautifully simple, to wonderfully exotic, to satisfyingly hearty. Whether you order classic yellow squash from Barnhill Orchard, Certified Organic zucchini from Green Acres Atkins, or adorable baby patty pan squash from Hardin Farms (welcome back, y’all!), the possibilities are endless.

Unfortunately, no matter how many ways there are to cook it, man cannot live on squash alone. So take advantage of this not-quite-blistering-hot weather and fire up the grill! Ratchford Farm has a new selection of bratwursts sure to please your pallet. In addition to the quintessential beef bratwurst and flavor packed jalapeño cheddar buffalo brats, you can now choose Italian, German, Polish, or chorizo brats. Try a new flavor each week, or order them all and host a taste at your next backyard barbecue.

While you’ve got the grill going anyway, consider tackling the tastiest side dish known to mankind: grilled corn on the cob! That’s right, Barnhill Orchard wins the blue ribbon for having fresh, ripe, peaches and cream corn on the cob earlier than anyone else. Brown thumbed as I am, I’m always surprised at the early and looong harvests this family farm can coax out of their land.

If you want dibs on all of this great fresh food, make sure to take another look at The Market and order before it closes tomorrow morning. Then, make plans to come see us at The Green Corner Store this Saturday. We’ll be there from 3-5pm, celebrating the newest edition of FRESH. We hope to see you there, but for anyone not able to join in the festivities, we’ll still have plenty of copies available at Food Club.
