Weblog Entry

What a beautiful Sunday morning!

The market is open and waiting for your orders. Sorry you did not receive this as an email right at 12 – the market has been open for ordering but this message only posted as a weblog, and not as an email! I apologize for that. Hope everyone was able to get on and start ordering despite the confusion.

This time of the year seems to make me hungrier than usual – is it the weather? My inability to turn down anything that includes “pumpkin spice” in the title? Whatever it is, lately I have found myself drawn to dishes with savory flavors and warm Fall notes. This week I’m craving a hearty beef stew, apple pie, and sauteed kale with pecans and cranberries – lucky for me, I can buy almost all the ingredients I need on our market! We’re so fortunate to have a large network of growers who provide a variety of local produce to suit our tastes.

Speaking of variety, we made another order of dry goods! We have organic flour, beans, quinoa, and more. Make sure you order some and stock up! Don’t forget that we will not be having market on October 22nd due to the Race for The Cure.

Finally, for anyone interested in learning how to ferment their own food, the Southern Center for Agroecology is hosting a wonderful workshop series at Christ Episcopal Church (led by our own Angela Gardner). The next one will teach participants how to make cucumber kimchi, and is on October 22nd from 6-8. You can sign up here and get more information about the series.

Now excuse me while I go make a steak and egg omelette. I wonder how a pumpkin spice blend would taste on it….
