Our market produce is starting to ramp up thanks to some warmer temperatures this past week. Our farms are bringing lots of veggies perfect for throwing on the grill. Read below for some recipes and some highlighted specials from our farms. Everything from Rib Eye steaks to zucchini and fresh berries, the market has a delicious lineup of your favorite locally grown ingredients.

Pam’s Pickled Products will also be here with their amazing variety of pickled asparagus, zucchini relish and pickled garlic, just to name a few.
With the potential of fireworks causing stress to pets, make sure you stop by for homemade doggy treats from Powwow4bowow and calming CBD chews from Healthy Roots CBD.

Stay safe this weekend and see you at the market!
If you haven’t tried Garlic Scapes, you’re missing out. An often-overlooked allium, Garlic Scapes offer a fresher, greener taste than the actual garlic bulb itself.
So, what are they, exactly?
Garlic Scapes are the tender stem and flower bud of a hardneck garlic plant. Scapes first grow straight out of the garlic bulb, then coil. When harvested, they look like long, curly green beans.
The good news? They’re versatile and can be used in a number of ways. Consider grilling, roasting or sautéing them, for starters. Garlic Scapes also make a great side dish or burger topping.
Here’s a couple of recipes to get you started and luckily enough you can find plenty this week from Wild RootsFarm. Brown Bottle Farm and Farm D’ICI.
The good folks of Martson Farms, growers of Highland Scottish Beef, are offering some specials in time for grilling.
Ranging from .70lb to 1.00lb in size, Martson has the following:
T-Bone Steaks: $17/lb
Bone In Rib Eye: $26/lb
Boneless Rib Eye: $26/lb
Don’t forget their burger patties, too. Need some help with grilling technique or preparation ideas? Make sure to chat with Rick or Kristen for the best tips.
Grilling vegetables brings out a delicious smoky, charred flavor, elevating summer squash and onions to new levels. This week you can pick up loads of young, summer squash from Sun Love Farm, Wild Roots, Brown Bottle RJ Farms and Farm D’ICI.

A positive to our damp spring is the fact our farms still have loads of fresh greens available!
