ALFN Local Food Club: The Market Is Open
What a wonderfully rainy weekend we are having. After you make your order in the market, go out and play in the mud!
Updates/News
1. White River Creamery in Elkins, AR has an opportunity to expand its cheese making capabilities. Honeysuckle Lane Diary recently closed. WRC has been given the opportunity to purchase their diary equipment and expand their operations. As the only farmstead cheese-making operation, WRC will be able to increase production per batch by over 10 times their current levels. This is a huge opportunity. Local restaurants are backing the kickstarter, and WRC is asking other local fans to help out. Please check out their kickstarter page for more information. I dare say the ALFN membership could knock a huge chunk out of their projected goal. Let the gouda, chevre, feta, and fromage flow down from Elkins to Little Rock!
2. We have a new grower in our list this week! Great Day Natural Produce. Nancy Dockter has been a grower for ALFN in the past, and we are excited to have her back. Check out her grower page and offerings…they will go fast!
3. If you get a chance check out the Good Good Org Guide of 2015. According to the website, the guide “highlights nonprofit organizations that are doing exemplary work in the United States in the areas of food and agriculture, nutrition and health, hunger and obesity, and food justice.” You can filter your results for Arkansas…and yes, ALFN is in there! This may be a helpful resource to see what other organizations are doing in areas of your interest.
4. We still have many openings for Volunteers over the next few months. I invite all of you to give it a try. You can gain membership credit or $5 to your orders. If you are a brand new volunteer, shoot me an email, and I will make sure we help you have a good first-time experience. You can sign up here: Volunteer Spot.
Sincerely
Kyle Holton

The Market Is Open!
Good evening everyone!
The market is open for ordering until Tuesday evening at 9.
Be sure to check out all the amazing Spring vegetables we have on the market this week!
Jenny at Seeds of Success shares:
The recipe this week comes from Chef Jenny with JENuine Health to complement the turnips available on the Market.
Turnip Tip:
Turnips can be substituted for potatoes in any of your favorite recipes. Use them in soups, stews, salads, casseroles or mashed. They provide one third the amount of calories as an equal amount of potatoes. They also contain fiber, folic acid, and vitamin C. The leafy greens on the turnips are also edible. Scallop Turnips is one of my favorite ways to prepare them. Thinly slice (or dice) turnips and onions. Sauté in olive oil until lightly browned. Add salt, pepper, and Seeds of Success Dill-icious Seasoning (to taste). Combine all the ingredients in a casserole dish with cheddar cheese. Bake at 375 degrees until the turnips are tender and the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with additional Dill-icious Seasoning before serving. Serve with the greens.
Botanical Harmony Farm have listed several more Goat Milk Soap scents; including the fall favourite: Orange Chai Spice.
They have also listed their Baby Bottom Cream (perfect for rashes, wounds, skin explosions) now in a 2oz Glass jar. Breathe (All-Natural “Vicks Vapor Rub”) also is in a new 2oz glass jar and Whipped Body Butter.
Rocky Glade Farm have some new Asian greens that look absolutely amazing.
Tatsoi and Mizspoonza…. something a bit different to add to healthy salads and cooked meals.
Tom’s Sprouts and Spice has some fresh sprouts and microgreens.
Mary’s Organic Foods has coffee and vanilla extracts for upcoming holiday baking!

Farm to Table Recipes
Ingredients:
Cheesy Stuffed Banana Peppers (Gluten Free)
yields about 10 (medium to large) banana peppers
1-8 oz. package cream cheese
1 cup plain greek yogurt (Chobani is my favorite!)
4-6 cloves garlic, minced (We love garlic, so we always go for 6 – you decide!)
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 cup shredded mozzarella (or Italian blend of cheeses)
1/2 cup grated parmesan, more for sprinkling
10 medium to large banana peppers
Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Put on some gloves (and wear a mask if you have bad coughing fits like me). Rinse the banana peppers to remove dirt, and cut off the stems. Open up the banana pepper length wise by cutting down through the center of the pepper (only on one side – do not cut it in half!). Remove the seeds as best as you can (or else they’ll be SUPER hot). Place on a paper towel to dry slightly while you mix the stuffing.
In a medium bowl, stir the cream cheese and yogurt together until smooth. Add the minced garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring until well combined. Add the mozzarella and parmesan, stirring until evenly mixed.
Scoop the cheese mixture generously into each of the peppers, stuffing it down into the tip of the pepper, all the way to the top. Place each pepper, open side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the opening with parmesan cheese.
Bake at 400ºF for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are soft, and the cheese is browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
