Farmer At Your Door:  No market this year, Options!

I’m sorry to say that there will be no Farmer At Your Door this year. But you have options! In my effort to keep you fed and happy,. Tracys Farm Bus is an awesome option. She appears in many places with local, healthy product. She also delivers. I am also in touch with many growers myself. If you need items, let me know. There are many ways to get you those items. I would like to thank all of you for remaining wonderful customers and great local businesses. This is not the end all your food options this could be just the beginning of your awareness of our local growers and businesses. Please email me at bogie3513@msn.com if you need anything, well not anything, maybe a little lettuce, turkey, a radish, a loaf of bread, not just anything. I would love to keep in touch with all of you.if you need further information on how to get ahold of Tracy, I would be more than happy to let you know. Merry

Market News

HORTON FARMS:
You read it right. LOCALLY GROWN fresh rhubarb. Don’t ever tell Papa Horton “you can’t grow it here” because he’ll prove otherwise, and has done so in a magnificent way. It’s taken him ten years to figure it out and to our knowledge he is the first person to grow it successfully this far south.

If you’re not familiar with rhubarb, google it to see all the wonderful things you can do with this amazing “fruit”. Please know this this variety is not the popular red variety, but is green and looks a bit like celery.

Farm to Table Recipes

PULLED PORK SANDWICH
Ingredients
 * 1 onion, chopped 
  6 garlic cloves, peeled 
 * 1 pickled jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped 
  2 teaspoons of Chipotle chile powder 
  1 Tbsp tomato paste 
  2 Tbsp Dijon mustard 
  3/4 cup distilled white vinegar 
  1 teaspoon paprika 
  1/3 cup ketchup 
  2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 
  1/4 cup light brown sugar 
  1 bay leaf 
  Salt 
 * 3 lbs of pork butt shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat 
  Hamburger buns 
Notes / Directions
1. Purée all of the sauce ingredients (everything except the bay leaf, the pork and the buns) in a blender until smooth. If you have extra time, marinate the pork in the sauce overnight or for several hours before cooking.

2. Put sauce, bay leaf, and pork into a large pot and add 1 quart of water. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer, covered, turning frequently, for 2 hours or until the meat pulls apart easily with a fork.

3. Remove from heat and cool pork in the sauce. When cool enough to touch, remove the pork from the sauce and shred into small pieces. Set aside.

4. Put the sauce back on the stove and bring it to a low boil. Let the sauce boil down until it has been reduced by two thirds. Add the pork back to the sauce. Salt to taste. Remove bay leaf before serving. Serve hot over open-face hamburger buns.

Thank you

Gwinnett Locally Grown:  MARKET IS OPEN FOR ORDERING NOW!

The Market is open Thursday Noon-ish – Monday 9 a.m. After that, ordering is disabled. Pick up your order Tuesday 4:30-6:30 p.m. ONLY, at Rancho Alegre Farm at 2225 Givens Road, Dacula, GA 30019. New to The Market? Learn about how it works here.

MARKET NEWS!
As I write this, Russell is planning to make Mozzarella and Bococinni tomorrow to replenish his inventory from last week’s accident, so it is listed on market as available this week. He does not have butter however, so for those of you who are “hoarding” it like I am, it’s time to dig into our personal stashes in our freezer!

I have had some inquiries about how to order milk. It is listed under Locally Grown -> Dairy -> Raw Pet Milk. For those of you new to raw milk, it can only be sold in the state of Georgia as “For Pet Consumption Only.” This state required label has nothing to do with the quality.

FARMER PROFILE
I have asked our farmers to let me know when they are interviewed or profiled in a magazine, newspaper or on a website, or have a website of their own, so I can share the information with you and we can all learn more about the farmers we support. Lisa from Bo & Lisa’s Lil Patch sent me the link to information about her/their farm. You can read it here. Some of our farmers also have FaceBook pages, so as I collect the links, I will share them here.

Lisa’s page is doubly cool because it’s the Certified Naturally Grown website, which also gives us information about the CNG program. This is basically a grass-roots program that uses the same rules as the government-run Certified Organic program, but with much less paperwork to contend with. Paper trails for farmers (or for any self-employed person really) are one of the many things I refer to as a “time-sucker” – another thing (usually needed but not necessarily showing a black & white return for the time spent) that stretches the work-day far beyond daylight hours. I personally fully support the CNG program.

Have a wonderful week!

It is very difficult to take phone calls on a working farm, especially one that also hosts tours and private events.

Champaign, OH:  In My Life

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain…
(Beatles – In My Life)

Certainly, you can tell that in my life, I revolve around music. All kinds, at any given time of the day. Music speaks to me, soothes me, motivates me!

Growing up, I had music all around me. One set of grandparents introduced me to bluegrass. The other set of grandparents introduced me to big band/jazz. In happier times, my parents listened to all kinds of 60s/70s music. In unhappier times, their music stopped. I grew up on all kinds of music, and I can still close my eyes, listen to a song, and tell you exactly where I was, what I was doing, how I was feeling at that given moment.

I grew up in a neighborhood that had boys playing in early garage bands. We all cruised around in muscle cars, stereos blaring. Teen dances, swim clubs, summer camps, endless crushes, endless tears….they all had a song.

I began sneaking out to concerts when I was really just very young. I fell in love with The Grateful Dead after my first concert. I have wanted to be in a band, run with a band, be the muse that the band sings about, since I was about 14 years old.

Music…I love it all….and, it is what gives me the inspiration to write this Weblog from our little local market.

This week marked the first week of our Market Love Playlist drawing!!! I took all of the customer names, wrote them out, put them in one of my most treasured vintage tophats, and had my daughter draw a name.

The winner is….Jodi Compton!!!

I hope you enjoy the tunes as much as I enjoy weaving them into this little Weblog of love…

Thanks for always being a great support in all of our markets, Jodi!!! Enjoy the tunes…

Next week…another chance to win!!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Provisions Local Supply Co.

Hello!

We are Provisions Local Supply Co.¬¬- an online, mobile farmers market (previously known as Palouse Grown Market) . We appreciate local farmers and foodstuffs and we know you do too! We believe farmers and local producers are the backbone of this community and we want one thing- more locally produced food and goods in the hands of the people around us. We hope to make it easy for families, home-cooks and restaurants to procure local items.

Good food is our passion.

We currently also own PRLR Mobile Woodfired Cookery- a mobile pizza oven and catering company and use as many local items as possible to make our visions a reality. We are two best friends who set out on a culinary journey looking to inspire passion about food.

We are looking to expand the availability of items for purchase on our website within the next year and hope you’ll follow along in our journey. For now you can reach us through the current Palouse Grown Market website or at 208-310-5109. We’ll be as communicative as possible as we move forward and we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we’re open for business!

We’re proud to bring Provisions Local Supply Co. to you.
