Grumpy Goat:  Weblog Entry

Just kidding! The farm store will be open this coming weekend and Matt will be bringing vegetables to the Farmers Market. So get your orders in and put him to work!!! There will be no bread pick up available on Friday or Saturday. You can order bread and pick it up on Tuesday. I a heading up to Michigan to prance around in a ring with more of our goats. Fingers crossed they behave!

All the peppers are really coming into full swing right now. I’ve added some to the order form or shop in person to see the other varieties.

Try out some Shishito’s if you haven’t already. We have been told that 1 in 10 can be hot though we have eaten a lot of them and haven’t had a hot one yet. They are delicious just simply sauteed whole in a pan with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Or spice it up and add a drizzle of your favorite sauce just before serving.

Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  This Week at the Market

Looks like we’re in for a storm tomorrow! We will have the stand closed up, but will open as soon as it passes. I’m really looking forward to the good soaking for the garden so we can get things growing again for the fall crops.
Have a great week!

Did you know that August is national goat cheese month? This is due to the fact that many berries and plants are flourishing at the moment, causing the goat cheese to be at its most flavorful. So now’s a great time to check out the wide variety of cheeses offered by Bootleg Farm on Market2Go!
Some recipes that feature goat cheese include:

• Feta Cheese Dip, a creamy appetizer with some bell pepper for a little kick.
• Also starring seasonal greens, pecans, and feta, Apple Pomegranate Harvest Salad is crunchy, sweet, and zesty!
• For a healthy breakfast made with local eggs, chèvre, and six different types of vegetables go for the Veggie Omelet with Goat Cheese!
• And finally, Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwiches with Tomato & Basil for a fancy but easy to do twist on a classic favorite!

Champaign, OH:  Closer To Fine

I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There’s more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
(The less I seek my source)
Closer I am to fine, yeah…
(The Indigo Girls)

I’ve had this song rattling around in my head for a few weeks, now. First, I love it, and it will always remind me of my drive from Los Angeles to Raleigh, NC, when I moved for my job as a flight attendant, and my change of bases.

It also has been of great comfort in these crazy weeks of summer with the wedding events for catering, my own daughter’s bridal brunch (which turned out just simply stunning!! If you want to see photos, you can find them on either The Hippie and the Farmer Facebook page, or Instagram page), and while all the happiness has been happening, and now the upcoming wedding of my daughter on September 18, I am also walking a bit of an emotional tightrope as my favorite uncle has been battling what will soon become his final days.

This song’s lyrics have been perfect in helping me find that balance of happiness, sadness, compassion, acceptance, and many phone calls, with him in Oregon, as we retrace my childhood, his outlook on life, his crazy hippie ways (looks like the apple fell close to the family tree, with me), and trying to plan a last trip out to see him, after the wedding.

Balance…the careful balance…

This market has made me smile with all of the orders flooding in. This market is another one of the things in life that I welcome each week, to keep the balance. I was so busy, last week, prepping for a wedding, and on Thursday, I just really missed that there was no market. But, it gave all the vendors a nice week off…more balance. Some time off to relax, regroup, and jump back into it all.

Also, it looks like Blue Jacket is on the market for the week!! Take advantage, and get your orders in for them!!

The Flourish girls have new offerings, as well!!

Closer to fine…this market, ourselves, our lives…we all just want to be closer to fine.

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
