Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  This Week at the Market


Good morning! School is about to start and the grocery stores are setting out pumkin decorations. I guess fall is around the corner LOL!!! We are definitely makng transitions here around the farm too. Our greens beds have suffered with the heat and the bugs so we are pulling them out today, amending the soil and will replant more greens in another area. While we already have had white pumpkins coming in since spring, we will be planting big orange ones for fall harvest.
Our okra was doing so well until the deer found a way to them. I have a few still producing so hoping they give us a few baskets each week!

Have a great start to the school year! Hoping Union Hill reopens now too!

Lion’s Mane mushrooms: (Hericium erinaceus), a prized variety of edible mushroom found in North America, Europe, and Asia. Named after their distinctive appearance that resembles a lion’s mane, these mushrooms are not only eye-catching but also delicious. Lion’s Mane mushrooms offer a slightly sweet, seafood-like flavor and a tender, succulent texture that make them a perfect addition to soups, stews, and other dishes. With their unique flavor and delicate texture, Lion’s Mane mushrooms add depth and dimension to any dish. So why not add a touch of elegance to your next meal?

Rocky Top Blue Oyster – Large or Small Blue oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are a type of edible mushroom that is native to North America and Europe. They get their name from their oyster-like shape and their blue-gray color. Blue oyster mushrooms have a delicate and slightly sweet flavor, and a tender, velvety texture. They are often used in stir-fries, soups, and other dishes as a meat substitute and to add flavor.

Sow’s Ear Piggery: Several delicious cuts of pork this week, many ways to prepare them from grilling, frying or roasting

NashPhilly: Two new side dishes, the collards and Cavatappi 5 cheese Mac and cheese that I want highlight this week.

Collard greens are stewed for 2 hours with my special blend of aromatics and sauces to create a truly rich, deep and tasty side of collards.

Cavatappi Mac. A truly special Mac and cheese using a blend of gourmet cheeses. The herbed crust and cheesy ness of the non crust parts are simply so satisfying.

It was a treat meeting several customers last week when I assisted during delivery.

McIntosh Field & Flowers: It is the height of the growing season here in Middle TN and that means loads of color at McIntosh Field & Flower. Cosmos, Sunflowers and loads of fun grasses are in bloom. We’ve also got enough colors of Celosia to make a rainbow! Order a Farmhouse Bouquet to bring some color into your home or office!

Pinky’s Micros: Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.

We love putting them on avocado toast or in a B.L.T Sandwich!

Our new SUMMER Seasonal Chef’s Blend: CANTALOUPE, CUCUMBER, THAI BASIL, RED AMARANTH.

Every season we’ll be creating new blends to represent each season. Along with what we grow all the time.
Peas Shoots, Rose Radish, Broccoli, Basic Salad Mix, and Sunflower Shoots.

Arrington Bread Co.: Our breads arrive at market fresh baked and usually alway very warm from the oven, tempting to pull a chunk off right when you pickup you order! This week we have Boule’s are Cracked Pepper with Sea Salt topped, Jalapeno Cheddar, Orange- Cranberry, Parmesan – Garlic, Plain and Rosemary.

Rus-T-Acres: All our Black Angus Beef is USDA Certified pasture-raised:
Highlighting some of our products this week.

Chuck Roast is cut from the shoulder and neck region of the animal. used for pot roast or, when cubed, stew, because the connective tissue melts as the chuck braises and self-bastes the beef, making it very tender.

Double Ground Beef we chose this blend because of the tender, juicy, flavorful outcome of the product when it is cooked. It is a great blend for Hamburger steaks, chili, soups, and numerous other recipes.

Medium seasoned pork sausage has the perfect blend of sage and pepper to earn the medium status. It also has enough fat for frying up perfectly. I fry my sausage and then use the grease for making my breakfast gravey or for seasoning my cornbread batter.

Some of our produce this week:
White Patty Pan Squash, AKA 10 toes look like the yellow sunburst patty pans but they are white. They taste more like a zucchini but are a little sweeter. They can be prepared in a variety of ways. Cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove the seeds, and stuff them with whatever you like, and then bake, broil, or steam them. You can cut them up and fry or sautee them.

Sunburst Patty Pan Squash produces glossy buttercup yellow, scalloped edge squash that has a mild, buttery flavored tender white flesh. They are also referred to as 10 toes because each one has 10 scallops. It is a fun food to work with and can be prepared in a variety of ways. You can cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove seeds, and stuff with anything you would like and then bake them or steam them on the grill, fry them, sautee them. Just any way you want to cook them will be good.

Japanese Eggplant: prepare in various ways including grilling, which will give them a smoky flavor!

Yentz Family Farm: Our produce is finally starting to arrive, this week we have Cucumbers – Snack Size called ‘Munchers’ and We have also added ‘Hand Pie’ Blueberry, Cherry, Peach and Assorted. Also check out our other baked items and snack popcorn and assorted crispy snacks and several jams and salsa.
