Wick's Locally Grown: Wick's Locally Grown is Open
Hi,
We have new items this week.
Have a good week,
Dan
Wick’s Locally Grown
United States Virgin Islands: VI Locally Grown Market: Week of May 18 2014
Good morning!
We are pleased to announce that our market has added a new producer: Queen’s Maubi, whose owner Neil Galloway is likely a familiar face to many. Neil’s Maubi Reloaded juice won second place for the Beverage category in this year’s Taste of St. Croix! Try some this week: it’s like a complex and earthy Caribbean root beer. Queen’s Maubi is also offering a powerful Ginger Beer (nonalcoholic, unless you add the rum yourself): each gallon is crafted with large quantities of fresh ginger.
Of course we have the usual offerings of fresh, naturally grown local produce, fruit, herbs, and flowers. We look forward to your orders, and to seeing you Wednesday afternoon!
with warm wishes,
Emma Haynes & your Locally Grown Producer
CLG: Opening Bell: Summer squash!
Good afternoon,
Yes, it’s been a cool couple of days, but we’re surely not far from 90 degrees as the norm. Veggies have had plenty of rain and are bursting with local goodness. Enjoy!
Lots of great produce coming to the market every Friday. Come early for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.
Action: Please add your cell number to your account in case we need to contact you quickly regarding your order. Maybe you just left the market and we realize you accidentally left one of your items. This will allow us to call you before you get home. Email me if you would like me to add it for you. kirp1968@sbcglobal.net
The market is now +OPEN +for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!
Steve

Champaign, OH: A Little Help From My Friends
What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing out of key…
(Beatles – With A Little Help From My Friends)
Can you believe we are looking at another Sunday, already? The weeks seem to just fly by and then we reach Sunday, and it’s a day to catch your breath, recharge, plan the next week in your life.
This week, in my Cosmic world, was just as crazy as any other week. My weeks seem to pass in a blur of my customers, my shop, my venues, markets. I rely on my good nature, loud music, lots of coffee, and then a glass of wine for good measure. It’s just the Cosmic way. But, one important part of the equation that keeps me sane, keeps me going, makes me smile, is the help that I get from friends.
And, in help, I don’t really mean a hands on, take over kind of thing. If you know me well, knew me growing up, you know that I am the last person to ask for that kind of help. But, what I do rely on is the laughter, the hugs, the compassion, the respect, and the knowing that my favorite friends are always there, they show up when I don’t think I need them or are there in a second to listen to me ramble on, need advice, or just need to let loose with a night or afternoon of fun.
I was reminded of that, this week, in many ways. In my life, I hold my dearest people, so close to my heart. I build my business relations in a different manner but usually, in the end, they become more than just a business relation. They become part of my friend circle. It was a week of board meetings, business meetings, a director’s meeting, an impromptu meeting of the minds at the YMCA at our little market table…friends, and customers, and supporters, and business encounters…it takes many people to make a circle strong. I very much believe that you need a strong circle and you need to know who is in that circle and then you need to keep the circle close.
It was because of that little impromptu meeting at our market table that left me feeling even more like this market is really moving forward, moving ahead, offering all of you the best that there is! It takes just a few people to remind you that we all do really get by with the help of others.
As your market manager, I watch as the orders come in, I watch as the orders are picked up, I receive your emails, your questions, your lovely words of praise. I get to chat with each of you, each week. I get to know your likes, I miss you when you are gone, I know just by seeing your name on an email, what you are ordering. When you enter the market to get your orders, we all know you as you open the door. We lovingly pack up your order and chat and send you on your way for the week.
In my heart, I hope that this market brings you a bit of help from us…your friends of this market. I hope that not only are we filling your order needs but we are also filling your souls with what you need. In the circle, we are all friends, in some way, and the circle stays strong as we all help others to get by.
As I said, it’s Sunday…a day of planning the week. Let us help YOU get by, a bit easier, by placing your order needs in our hands…that’s what friends do!
A couple of notes…remember, Memorial Day weekend is upon us. This will be the market for you to think about what you will need for your weekend of fun.
Also…the impromptu meeting with the YMCA resulted in something very exciting!!! We now can offer you the gift of local through YMCA gift cards that can be applied to a market account!!! You can sign up a new market member by gifting them with a card. You can gift another market customer. You can gift yourself!! The front desk will set you up with a gift card and will then help you apply it to our market!!!
See…we all get by with a little help from our friends…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Blueberry Pie Recipe
Prep time: 1 hourCook time: 1 hourYield: Makes one pie with 8 servings.
Add to shopping list
INGREDIENTS
Crust:
One double recipe for all butter pie crust dough
Filling ingredients:
*6 cups (about 2 1/4 pounds or 1 kilo) of fresh (or frozen) blueberries, rinsed and stems removed (if using frozen, defrost and drain first)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup (about 30g) all-purpose flour (for thickening)
1/2 cup white granulated sugar (100g)
*1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
*2 Tbsp butter (unsalted), cut into small pieces
*Egg wash ingredients:
*1 egg
*1 tablespoon milk
METHOD
1 Prepare the crust. Roll out half of the dough to 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured work surface, about 13 inches in diameter. Fit the dough over a 9-inch pie pan, and trim the edges to a 1/2 inch over the edge all around the pan. Put into the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.
2 Gently mix the blueberries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Transfer them to the chilled bottom crust of the pie pan. Dot with butter pieces. Roll out remaining dough to the same size and thickness as the first. Place on top of the berry filling. Tuck the top dough over and under the edge of the bottom dough, and crimp the edges with your fingers. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes. Heat oven to 425°F.
3 Whisk egg and milk together to make an egg wash.
4 Remove the unbaked pie from refrigerator. Brush the top with egg wash. Score the pie on the top with 4 cuts (so steam can escape while cooking). Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven with a parchment paper or Silpat lined baking pan positioned on the lower rack to catch any filling that may bubble over. Bake for 20 minutes at 425°. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 30 to 40 minutes more or until juices are bubbling and have thickened. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Let cool completely before serving.

MEET THE GROWER!
Fox Farm will be premiering six new sausages at this Tuesday’s Meet the Grower. In addition to having samples, they will be grilling and selling sausages on a bun for $4.00 and will have extras including sauerkraut, sautéed peppers and onions, and homemade tomato sauce with shredded Parmesan cheese for $1.00 more.
Packages of each sausage variety will be available for purchase at the event. The sausages featured are Hot Italian, Sweet Italian, Thüringer Bratwurst, Nürnberg Bratwurst, Kielbasa, and Irish Bangers. A complete description of each sausage is available on-line.
Main Street Meats (Link 41) makes the sausages for us following our 100-year-old recipes from family and friends.
We plan on being outside for this event. If the weather is inclement, we will move inside.
We hope everyone will stop by to introduce themselves and taste our products.-——————————————————-
And from Jess Wilson: In Town Organics has a limited amount of Seasonal Salad Mix for sale this week. This week’s mix will be a first cutting and will contain green and red lettuces, spinach, mizuna and golden frills mustard, beet greens, arugula, tat soi, cress, and basil. It’s ridiculously good!
Additionally, we have many tender young greens for sale this week including head lettuces and baby beet and chard greens. We have scaled back our commercial operation this year (because of the baby) so our quantities are limited. Get it while it lasts! (Psst…there are also a few strawberries). -——————————————————-
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT’S TURKEY ORDERING TIME ALREADY! THIS IN FROM FOUNTAIN SPRINGS FARM:
It is time for us to take turkey orders for Thanksgiving. There are turkey deposits on the market for anyone who would like to make sure they have a NON-GMO-fed and pastured-raised, fresh, never frozen, turkey for Thanksgiving. Place your order for a deposit and the deposit comes off the total price of turkey when picked up.
The turkeys are $3.75 per pound and weigh about 12 to 25 lbs. We deliver them the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
When you place your order for a deposit, leave a comment on the weight that you would like. We will get as close as we can.
Thanks so much.
