MARKET NEWS

Remember…
The Market is extending their hours! The Market will now be open from 4:00 to 7:00pm!
Having said that, if you place an order with us, PLEASE remember to pick it up on Tuesday. As I am so grateful for your orders, I also have a family at home waiting on me too! We cannot hold orders, especially cold items due to limited refrigeration space, so please be courteous and come for your order.

I mentioned before that we are expanding the Market and adding new items!
Remember we have Kombucha available! If you are not familiar with it, Kombucha is a naturally fermented tea with natural probiotics! It has been around for centuries originating in Asia. It is said to have healing properties and because it is naturally fermented, is a great support for the digestive system. When your here, ask me for a sample! I’d love your feedback!

If there is something you’d like to see in the Market, please let me know!*_

Farm to Table Recipes

ONE POT KALE & QUINOA PILAF
2 cups salted water
1 cup quinoa
1 bunch lacinato kale, washed and chopped into 1" lengths
1 meyer lemon, zested and juiced
2 scallions, minced
1 tablespoon toasted walnut oil
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
salt and pepper
Bring the water to a boil in a covered pot. Add the quinoa, cover, and lower the heat until it is just enough to maintain a simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes, then top with the kale and re-cover. Simmer another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow to steam for 5 more minutes. While the quinoa is cooking, take a large serving bowl and combine half of the lemon juice (reserving the other half), all of the lemon zest, scallions, walnut oil (you can substitute olive oil if you desire), pine nuts, and goat cheese. Check the quinoa and kale when the cooking time has completed — the water should have absorbed, and the quinoa will be tender but firm, and the kale tender and bright green. If the quinoa still has a hard white center, you can steam a bit longer (adding more water if needed). When the quinoa and kale are done, fluff the pilaf, and tip it into the waiting bowl with the remaining ingredients. As the hot quinoa hits the scallions and lemon it should smell lovely. Toss to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper, and the remaining lemon juice if needed.

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Northeast Georgia Locallygrown Availability list for Oct. 10

Good evening Locavores,
This week you will find a sweet new addition to the market. Mountain Sweet Honey of Stephens County is offering their wildflower honey for your enjoyment. Julie and Ray Civitts believe that healthy hives and strong bees are the best way to sustain a colony without the use of chemicals and use only natural organic controls around their bees.
Wildfower honey is derived from the nectar of many different flowers including blackbery, sourwood, etc.
Julie and Ray do all they can to keep their sales of honey, nucs, and beeswax as local as possible and we are certainly happy to have them on Northeast Georgia Locallygrown.
Check out their description on the ‘Growers’ page and their website.
One of my favorite uses for honey is to mix 3 TBLS honey, 1 TBLS raw apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp sea salt in one quart of water. Sipping this throughout the day keeps electrolytes charged and my energy level up all day. Try it but be careful, it can really grow on you.
Try Mountain Sweet Honey in your favorite recipe and share that recipe with the rest of us.
Have a great weekend and enjoy fresh local food.

Hello,

Just a friendly reminder that the market has opened.

Please come in and check around. The Farmer’s Markets are all coming to an end for the season so don’t forget us as this is one of the few places one can go to get fresh, organic produce/products until next year when the Farmer’s Markets reopen.

Happy shopping,

Susan.
