Local Farms First: The Market is Open!
Greetings Local Farms First Food Lovers,
There’s nothing like some 45 degree rain to get you in the mood for a warm bowl of soup. I certainly found myself craving some this rainy, snowy week. Take a look at the many varieties of carrots on the market and try some carrot ginger soup..
Our growers offer some beautiful, multi-color varieties of carrots that will make a delicious addition to carrot ginger soup, or anything else!
Thanks for supporting local family farms,

CSA Farmers Market: Lamb Burger
}Recipe submitted by Debra Lyman%
Ever crave a burger? Why not a lamb burger with the ingredients from the farm wonderful mint, and onions from White Pine Farm, the lamb from BF&E Organics (it is a very mild lamb). These all make a great lamb burger its been a big hit with our family (it is listed in the recipe section of this site) Try one and enjoy…We really enjoy them. Thank you so much for providing yet another wonderful meal for us.
Herbed Lamb Burgers
(serves 4)
1 lb. ground lamb
2/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint
2/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1 zest from whole lemon
2 Tbsp. grated sweet onion
1 tsp Kosher salt
ground pepper
Combine lamb with mint, parsley, zest, onion, salt pepper in bowl. Mix gently until combined. Divide mixture into 4 equal balls, flatten into patties and make a an indentation in the center of each with your thumb, to keep burgers from doming while cooking. (cover and refrigerate up to 1 day). If planning on grilling on grill brush with olive oil before putting in refrigerator. Grill over med heat 10-15 min total flipping patties once (for medium thermometer should read 160 degrees) You may also cook in skillet in the house but do not put olive oil as they will produce enough grease themselves.
Option: you can grill some onion to put on top of your burgers, add crumbled feta cheese before putting in a bun.
