The Market Is Open

I hope everyone survived the first week back into the school rhythm. Fresh starts and fresh foods, every Sunday marks a new week with new produce. The market is open!

News

There is a nice piece in “Farm & Food” highlighting the work of Grass Roots Farmer’s Cooperative. The article interviews Mitchell Latture one of the founding members of Grass Roots and owner of Freckle Face Farm. It is a great promotion of Grass Roots and the work they are doing. Many of you have tasted the fruits of their labor whether it is their drumsticks, sausages or bacons. ALFN greatly benefits from having Grass Roots on our market website. Check out the article and share it with a friend.

We are in the middle of apple and peach season for certain varieties that many of our growers produce. I ran across a recipe for peach gazpacho that sounds fun. Consider trying a cold peach soup to help finish off the end of summer! Speaking of recipes, I would love for anyone to share lunch box ideas using market ingredients. Send ’em my way, and I will share them in our mid-week reminder.

Make sure you get a volunteer spot for a Saturday market. You can sign up for dates here.

Sincerely,

Kyle Holton
Program & Market Manager
