Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Fresh Harvest for May 26th




Market News

Hello!
Fresh Harvest has been selling the Hershberger family’s produce for 15 years. Mattie, Abraham and their 4 children are Amish and farm with horses using no machinery. Somehow they are always the first to have summer crops like squash, cucumbers and beans. They are offering small quantities of those items this week with larger quantities available soon. They beat me again! Two other items of interest from the Hershbergers are snow peas ($5 1/2 lb.) and small heads of Winter Density lettuce – $1.00 a head.

Lots of options on flowers – Bountiful Blessings Farm has some lovely bouquets, plus straight runs of Sunflowers and Forget Me Nots. If asked the color of FMNs, I would have failed the test. We continue to have a mix of peonies that are not only fragrant, but will last at least a week.

Pig and Leaf Farm has listed over 30 plants for sale consisting of tomato, pepper and herb plants. There are options where you can get a mix of different plants.

Since we have so much frigging kale, I’m going to do a rerun of last week’s Recipe or maybe I’m just being lazy. Disregard the making of pashtida this morning. That was last week.

Lots of mushrooms.

Rumor has it that blueberries and blackberries will be available in a couple of weeks.

Meats, eggs, granola, honey, and coffee are in abundance.

Deliveries every week until Thanksgiving Week.

A reminder that pick up will be under the trees unless there is bad weather.

If an item sells out, be sure to write in the Comment section what you would like if more becomes available.

Hemp Honey and Sorghum are available under Honey.

You have until Tuesday night to place your order.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!

If you need to text me, my number is 615-838-0428.

Ruth’s Pashtida

Susie made a great batch of pashtida this morning. This is the very best thing to eat right away and also the best to have in the fridge when you are starving and need something substantial! She makes it differently every time and it’s always good. The basics: eggs, cheese, veggies and a 9×13 pan. This morning, Susie cooked an onion, a red pepper, and a huge bunch of kale (stems removed). She squeezed out any excess moisture from the greens after sautéing. She added some Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. After cooking the veggies, she pulsed them a few times in the food processor. She added the veggies to 12-14 eggs (beaten) and a handful or two of sharp cheddar cheese and then put all that in the baking dish and baked at 350 for about 40 minutes until firm. So good! You can use any kind of veggies and any kind of cheese or a mix of cheeses (cottage, feta, provolone!). Susie says to make sure to credit her friend Ramit’s mom, Ruth, who first showed her how to make it.

Ah, summer! We are as busy as bees at our house. My lovely niece Hannah is getting married in our yard on June 8. We are working to get everything pruned and prepared for the big day. Wisteria and English ivy took over our yard for decades, and we have launched a new battle against them, and we are winning at the moment! Now, we are praying for clear weather, perhaps a bit cooler than the last week, for our big day. And, even if we have an unseasonably hot day, we’ll manage. Just hope that it doesn’t rain that day. That’s the risk when one plans an outdoor wedding!

Well, I’m putting on work clothes and heading outside for another afternoon of yard work. We hope you all have a relaxed long weekend, and we’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,

Beverly

THANK YOU!! to everyone that attended the Meet and Greet event last Wednesday. It was a blast! Special thank you to our Growers that were able to attend: Casey Reed of 6R Farms, Brenda Waters of BB’s Gourmet Pretzels, Sharmyn and Carter Smith of Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms), Linda Reed of Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, John Erdmann of Erdmann Farm, Ben Simmons and Jessica Park of Flying S Farms, Latoya Griffen of Mo’Scrubs by Toya, Robert Shaffer of Overview Farm, Andra Martens of Sow’s Ear Piggery, Sherrie and Paschael Jennings of Spring Meadow Farm, Arden Ward of Trinity Rose Oberhasli Dairy Goats and Daphne Valentine of Valentine Family Farm was able to make a quick appearance, we will look forward to them being back on the market soon.

You will never know who might just ‘pop up’ on The Porch during delivery time with extra products.

News from Our Growers:

CS3 Farms: It was great seeing everyone at the Meet and Greet event last Wednesday! We have a couple of jars of Gourmet Honey left – Cardamon has lots of health benefits, so check it out.

Due to raves and shouts of joy after tasting the samples we shared, we have added Golden Pecan Bites and Pecan Thyme Hummus to the lineup. We will also ensure there are plenty of Herbal Power Balls available.

Oakview Farm: We are from Lascassas and have Duck Eggs for sale this week from Mallard, Welsh Harlequin and Pekin Ducks. They are great for baking as the whites are much more sturdy than chicken eggs. Duck eggs also have a more ‘eggy’ quality so they are great for frittatas and quiches.

Flying S Farms: Peas, Lettuce, Greens are available along with several selections of breads.

See you “On the Porch” at Quinn’s Mercantile Wednesday May 29th from 5:00 – 6:30pm, please contact me if you are unable to make delivery or are running late, please phone, email or text me so we can make arrangements to get your order to you.
