If so, press the Place Your Order button; then you should receive an e-mail to confirm the order. E-MAIL tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com OR CALL US at (931) 273-9708 if the problem persists so you will not be disappointed on market day.

Farm to Table Recipes

Sausage, Pepper & Mushroom Pizza
From EatingWell: September/October 2010

This sausage, pepper and mushroom pizza is just a little more work than calling for delivery (but not by much), but there’s no tipping required when you make it yourself. Plus you get it fresh from your oven, and with whole-wheat dough and a generous amount of vegetables on top it’s far better for you. Add in season vegetables from the farmers market for more flavor!

Makes: 6 servings

Active Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 pound prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat (The Bread Lady)
6 ounces Italian turkey sausage, about 2 large links, casings removed
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup water
1 cup prepared marinara or pizza sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, preferably “fancy”
Position oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Roll out or stretch dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, crumble sausage into a medium nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, breaking up with a spatula or spoon, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Place bell pepper, mushrooms and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on High until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Spread sauce evenly over the crust. Top with the sausage, pepper and mushrooms and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until the crust is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

Naples,FL:  Market will close tonight

Please take a moment to get your orders in by deadline.
We are selling out of milk daily so if orders aren’t in by Sat I cannot be sure you will get your milk

Sunday and Monday are days for retailers
and farm customers to place orders and pick up milk.
By following the schedule it assures everyone of the freshest possible milk.
Thanks in advance for your help.
We also need to address no shows for milk pick up.
When Dana delivers she has to leave by 10:00. She stops her work schedule to backtrack from south Naples and deliver your milk and then go back to South Naples and Marco to finish her stores on time to be at a timed drop in Ft. Myers before coming home.
Mike and Dana start their day at 3:00 Am
so it is a long day for them and if they get behind they will encounter afternoon traffic which can add an hour since we live so far away.
If there is a problem with pick up please contact them. We know things come up and are unavoidable but with communication we may be able to find a solution.
Dana’s cell is 863- She delivers the 1st and 3rd week
Mike’s cell is 941-809-2658 (he doesn’t text)he delivers 2nd and 4th week
Farm is 863-491-5724 (no text)
