Scholl Orchards
Asparagus
|
Last winter Scholl's grafted 3,000 apple trees. This month they undertook the herculen task of planting them in the ground. And as you can see, it's a family affair!
This week they have asparagus, and plenty of crisp apples (Goldrush, Evercrisp, Fuji, Honeycrisp), fresh-pressed cider, and D'anjou and Bosc pears. Try tossing Scholl's pears or apples in a fresh spinach salad with some cheese from Valley Milkhouse and a sprinkling of trailmix from Lakeside Maple!

|
Salvaterra's Gardens will have a bounty of greens this week with Spring mix and head lettuce for big fresh salads - or arugula if you prefer something a bit zestier. Look for collards and kale, tender spinach, escarole, pak choy, hakurei turnips, scallions (great on the grill), beets, carrots and lots of fresh aromatic herbs - parsley, dill and cilantro.

Step 1) Pick up some pasture-raised poultry from the Breakaway Farms booth. Step 2) Head over to the Farmstand Recipes booth to pick up a Sunshine Salad (or two) (or five) ;-). Step 3) Grill up that chicken and serve over our Sunshine Salad for a quintessential springtime dinner. Hooray!

Teel's Hill Soapworks
This week Susan has been thinking about some of the questions routinely asked by her customers. So she wanted to let folks know that her soaps are vegetable based cold process soaps (with the exception of three of them). Her Honey Rosemilk Soap is made with buttermilk, honey and natural beeswax. Her Milk and Honey Soap is made with goat's milk and honey. And the infamous Bacon Soap ( not just for Bacon Festival anymore) is made with lard and bacon drippings.
