Good morning!



This very late email is sent to serve several purposes.

Most importantly, don’t forget about our special – Wayne Diller has reduced prices on his whole frozen chickens.




Second, I wanted to remind you of our new Tullahoma pickup location. Please encourage your Tullahoma area friends to check out our fantastic market!

Third, this message is also a friendly reminder to place your order online for this week. Market ordering will close at 10 pm tonight (Tuesday). Please don’t forget to place your order soon!

Remember to hit that last “submit” button. I really dislike disappointing a customer who comes to market, only to find no order in their name because they didn’t hit the last button. When your order is placed, you will receive an email confirmation. If for any reason you fail to receive this confirmation, please contact Linda as soon as you realize it’s missing.

Also please go to our Facebook page and like, comment, and share this week’s post. Facebook isn’t allowing me to post on multiple sites, or sometimes post multiple photos. So please help us spread the word. Surveys indicate that word of mouth is the most effective form of advertisement. Please help us advertise our fantastic growing market!

Thank you, and see you on Thursday in Manchester, or Friday in Tullahoma!

Blessings,
Linda & Michael

Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Last Call for 2 Weeks




Market News

Hello!

Bear Creek has plenty of 35 day dry aged filet of sirloin at $8.79 for 2 steaks.

Poussin/Spring Chicken is available from Wedge Oak for $12.

If you haven’t tried Dozen Bakery’s Amaranth and Pepita Sourdough bread, it is delicious.

The Market will remain open until Tuesday evening for you to place an order for this week. Next delivery day will be April 17th..

Here is some information on how Fresh Harvest works.
*If you see an item as Sold Out, write in the Comment section at check out that you would like that item if more becomes available. We’ll try our best to add it to your order.
• If you recruit a new customer to Fresh Harvest and they open an account with a $50 deposit, we will credit your account $10 for each new customer who signs up. They will need to tell me your name, so that I can credit your account. Word of mouth has been our best advertising. Any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated.
• Every week, we leave orders at the church for customers who cannot arrive at Trinity before 6pm. This has worked well for those who have difficulty with the 4-6pm window. Please let me know if you need me to leave your order at the church.
• The bag that you receive each week is to be brought back with your next order. We have been negligent in telling new customers how this works. Don’t feel bad if you return multiple bags, it happens all the time.
• We’re into reusing and recycling. Our clean egg cartons, honey jars, paper and plastic bags, berry containers are some of the items that we can reuse. If we can’t reuse the returned items, we’ll recycle them.
• We do guarantee everything that we sell. If you ever have a problem, please let us know and we will credit your account.
• If there are other products or growers that you think should be a part of Fresh Harvest, please let me know.

Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!

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

Recipes


Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Bacon Topping
4 small sweet potatoes (8 ounces each), unpeeled, each lightly pricked with fork in 3 places
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 slices hearty white sandwich bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/8- to 3/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
1/2 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1. Place potatoes in shallow baking dish. Microwave until skewer glides easily through flesh and potatoes yield to gentle pressure, 9 to 12 minutes, flipping potatoes every 3 minutes. Let potatoes cool for 10 minutes. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Cook bacon in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to bowl. Add 2 tablespoons fat from skillet, bread pieces, thyme, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to bowl with bacon. Toss to combine. 3. Halve each potato lengthwise. Using spoon, scoop flesh from each half into second bowl, leaving about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness of flesh. Place 6 shells cut side up on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet (discard remaining 2 shells). Bake shells until dry and slightly crispy, about 10 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, mash potato flesh with ricer, food mill, or potato masher until smooth. Stir in Parmesan, egg, melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. 5. Remove shells from oven and reduce temperature to 375 degrees. Divide mashed potato mixture evenly among shells. Top each filled shell with bread mixture. Bake until bread mixture is spotty brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

GFM :  Sorry I'm Late


Sorry to be late opening the market today folks.

The Goats won out…one new kid, having to go out to make sure he’s staying warm, and see if any of the other Does have decided to kid.

Anyhow, enjoy shopping with our vendors today. They are all getting excited for the physical market to open in May.

See you soon.

Champaign, OH:  California Sun


Well I’m going out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
Where I’ll walk
And they walk
I’ll twist
And they twist
And I’ll shimmy
And they shimmy
And I’ll fly
And they fly
Where they’re out there having fun
In the warm California sun
Well, I’m going out west
Out on the coast
Where the California girls
Are really the most
And I’ll walk
And they walk
I’ll twist…
(The Rivieras – California Sun)

Go ahead…look out at that bright sunshine, and just try not to blast this song, start to boogie down, shake your groove thing, and just get so excited that we have sunshine, we are warming up, all week, and it’s time for light hearted music!

This song has been covered many times since it’s 1961 inception, with my favorite cover having been done by The Ramones. But, even though I groove to the hippie beat, I was a club kid, and heavily into the alt/punk scene of the early 80s…

So many different versions of one song, a little something for everyone, just like this little market.

We offer such a large variety, something for everyone, because we all have our own likes, dislikes, needs, wants…we all groove to our own beat, and we’ve got ALL the grooviness for you!!

The market is open until 6am, Wednesday morning!! Why not start the week with placing your orders. Groove it out, market babes…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
