We are excited to welcome new Growers to the Market. Watch for Mushamo Valley delicious Sprouts and Mushrooms and Nom Noms Dog Treats.

News From Our Growers:

BB’s Gourmet Pretzels: Our Gourmet Pretzels will go great during the Super Bowl or just for a quick snack. Smudges – cinnamon & Sugar, Delicate Heat – sweet/heat flavor, Garlic – rich garlic, savory & buttery flavor, Lemon Pepper – powerful lemon pepper taste.

Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): Craving fresh greens? Our wild rocket arugula is going strong. Our roasted red pepper hummus was a favorite last week, and our elderberry concentrate syrup (now I’m 16 oz. containers) and (new) fire cider (in 8 oz. containers) will help you through the winter illness season. Our Shrubs (drinking vinegars/tonics made with honey) can be added to bubbly or regular water or warmed to make your favorite beverage oh-so-good.

The Sugared Spoon: Last week for Confetti cookies! Look for a new creation for February. Can’t decide what to try? Pick the assortment and message me what you’d like in it!

Mushamo Valley: This week, available is Jake Hates Sprouts are a tasty blend of alfalfa, red clover, broccoli, kale, and burgundy amaranth sprouts. Not merely for invigorating plain ole salads, this blend is well-suited to burgers and sandwiches, sprinkled on tacos or omelets, gently stirred into scramble eggs, or used as a delicious and eye catching soup topper.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: One of my favorite houseplants is Aloe Vera, a kitchen staple to treat burns, skin infections, wounds. Its natural gel has a soothing effect and helps to relieve pain by inhibiting formation of tissue-injuring compounds that gather at the site of a skin injury….Beyond topical use, Aloe Vera juice can be added to vegetarian recipes to give a powerful nutritional punch. This somewhat bitter juice can be disguised in smoothies, juicing recipes and salad dressings. Aloe contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other trace elements that work together to heal and repair the body and boost the immune system.
Whatever the choice is for use, Aloe Vera should be a part of everyone’s kitchen arsenal.

Short Mountain Cultures: Along with our Fermented Foods and Beverages, Bulk Food and by request we now offer Hatcher Dairy products to the market. Available this week Heavy Cream, Half & Half, Chocolate Milk and Cream Top Whole Milk.

Oakview Farm: Our free range eggs come in speckled, blue and tan colors from our flocks of Araucana and Buckeye hens.

Quarter Spring Farm: We have Whole Chickens ranging from 4 to 7 pounds and select cuts available weekly during the winter season. Our handmade goat milk soaps are great for your skin or as a gift for your loved ones. Check out our stylish reusable cloth napkins, they are listed in Handmade & Gifts Category.

Caney Fork Farms: Our Winter Season schedule with the Market is monthly, next times will be February 26th and March 25th, returning weekly in April 2020

Grower Notes

AND WE APPROVE!

I had to smile last week reading Mayim Farm’s grower note about their trip to the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group Conference (SSAWG) and the 2020 Organic Agriculture Research Forum (OFRF) because they used the newest word in natural agriculture methods: ”REGENERATIVE”.

It’s a great word! And it perfectly describes farming practices that focus on building the integrity of the soil as much as it does on the foods the soil produces. The basic practices in Regenerative Agriculture have been utilized for decades. The concept included in the use of this newest word incorporates the idea of drawing down greenhouse gasses to slow down if not reverse climate change.

Wikipedia defines it as ”a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving the water cycle, enhancing ecosystem services, supporting biosequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of farm soil. “

My personal favorite definition comes from The Chalkboard: Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming which aims to give back to the earth and leave it in a better place. It builds soil, increases biodiversity, improves water cycles and sequesters carbon. It’s really a way of farming that was traditional — prior to industrialization — we call it going back to a new way of farming.

So there you have it!

MARKET CHITCHAT

Daleville & Enterprise Customers Wendy will not be available to make on-time deliveries the next two Fridays. We’ve got you covered though and Ros will meet you at your chosen pickup location, though the time will probably be a bit later. Please make sure the Market has a good mobile number for you and we’ll be in touch to make sure we don’t miss each other!

Once in a while we get great info from vendors and customers worth passing on. Such is the case with this article about microwaving food from Mrs. Truitt in Enterprise. If you choose to read it be sure not to skip the third page for clarification and an interesting history lesson.

Come shop this week at the Statesboro Market2Go! Place your order by Tuesday midnight for pickup Thursday afternoon.

Don’t miss the last weeks of seasonal citrus bounty! Get Ruby Red Grapefruit or Tangos Mandarins from Bulloch County’s own Franklin Farms.

The Tango is the size of a tangerine,but sweeter with no seeds.

Winter is a good time for salads. Order your choice of romaine, green leaf, red leaf or mixed lettuce, and bibb. You can enhance your salad with all manner of goodness, including crispy peppers from 24/7 House, feta cheese from Bootleg, or pecans from Jacobs Produce.

Try this recipe for a Mandarin Pecan Salad and top with a Honey Citrus vinaigrette.

Enjoy sustainable seafood! Purchase from our annual winter stock of Doug’s Wild Alaska salmon while it lasts, Or order Georgia Wild Caught shrimp or NC coast flounder from Prosser’s Seafood.

We offer a full line of dairy – milk, cream, butter and cheese from Southern Swiss Dairy and Bootleg Farms. Purchase free-range eggs from four local farms! Meat eaters can order beef, pork, lamb, goat or chicken from our Market2Go vendors.

Didn’t put up enough seasonal produce? Jacobs produce has frozen peas, blueberries and strawberries that preserve the taste of summer.

Don’t have time to cook? Purchase a healthy prepared meal from Victory Garden, 4 & 20 Bakers, or Caribbean Feast. Market2Go vendors offer an amazing variety of cakes, breads and condiments.
