The Market is full of everything you need to create the perfect fresh & local feast for Father's Day. Steaks and veggies for grilling, or maybe Dad's favorite sausage? Greens for salads. How about some scrumptious strawberries, and the first cherries of the season. And of course a big 'ol pie for dessert! Shawnee Craft is in the circle this weekend with some great beers your Pop is sure to love. Grab a market bag and fill it to the brim with all Dad's favorites... a bag of freshly roasted coffee, a loaf of just baked bread, creamy cheese, a bottle of wine, and a dozen doughnuts. Or maybe some beef jerky and trail mix for the Dad who digs the outdoors?
Bring your Dad to Centre Square and spend a Saturday with him. Grab some breakfast or lunch and sit on the fountain, enjoy the live music and share that special EFM vibe with the guy who helped make you the amazing person you are today.
Thank you and Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there!

Comeback Orchards
Organic Strawberries, Blueberries and Raspberries
|
It's antioxidant heaven at Comeback Orchards this week. Pete is still picking organic strawberries, now into the mid-seasons - Honeyoe and Jewel, both with great flavor. It will be the first picking of organic red raspberries and tart cherries too. Supplies limited, will sell out quickly. You asked for it you got it. The first organic blueberries from Rosedale Blueberry Farm in Hammonton, NJ* will also be available.
*Note: growing organic fruit in our neck of the woods is no easy task. Pete's blueberry bushes are coming along nicely and he hopes to be selling his own next season. In the meantime he is authorized to supplement with organic berries from his friends at Rosedale.

Enjoy springtime at its best with fresh local fruits and vegetables. At Phillips Farms, strawberries will be winding down for the season soon so don’t miss out on the berries that everyone has been talking about. Also available this week: shelling peas (in the pod and pre-shelled), spring garlic, garlic scapes, rhubarb, greenhouse tomatoes, arugula, apples and cider.
And there’s a good chance that the first of the season Early Raspberries will be available!

This week Holy Cow Farm will have tons of asiatic lilies. They grow these in bulb crates in their greenhouse, and they produced really well this year. These will be incorporated into both our small and large bouquets this weekend. They'll pair nicely with feverfew, which is also a new flower this week.
|
|
New featured items for this week will be Gaillardia (perennial) and Angelonia (annual).
Angelonia is a tropical plant native to Mexico and the West Indies. It is a perennial in those regions, but it won't survive our winters; so we treat it as an annual here. It likes rich, moist, but not wet, soil in full sun. It grows best in hot, humid weather, perfect for our summers. Angelonia is sometimes called the Summer Snapdragon because its flowers grow and look similar to snapdragons (but you can't open its mouth like a snapdragon (maybe a snapdragon with clenched teeth). Angelonia flowers make excellent cut flowers because they last long and produce a slight scent similar to grape soda. Richard said he can't smell the scent, but deer can and don't like Angelonia. Stop and check what else is growing!
|
|
Pheasant Hill Farm will have bouquets with Asiatic lilies, snapdragons, dianthus and lots more.
Mr. PorTch Tea, Don, and Mel will be on hand this week to fill your fav kombucha flavors. George is headed to Maryland for chainsaw work, advanced sawyer 2, with Team Rubicon, and on to Dayton, OH to help with Team Rubicon’s volunteer disaster relief after the area was devastated by multiple tornadoes.

|
This Saturday VMH is bringing back the favorites of last weekend! Fresh cultured butter, Witchgrass, Thistle and Blue Bell will be available plus a guest cheese from Dove Song Dairy. King Fisher is a raw milk aged goat cheese that has the mild and delicate flavors of a Monterey Jack - a great melting cheese.
AND...be sure to stop by and check out VMH's NEW eco-friendly packaging for its creamy tart favorite, Clover! This market staple beloved by chefs now comes in kraft paper cups that are compostable - you can even toss them into your EFM Compost Program bin. Clover fromage blanc pairs beautifully with the last of the season's strawberries. Crumble it into a leafy Salvaterra salad or bake it into a frittata with Breakaway's farm fresh eggs. And the simplest way to enjoy Clover is on a crusty loaf of bread from The Flour Shop. Stop by to see what all the rave is about!

Pioppino to the max! Hope you are ready to put them on the menu. There will be a lot at market this week!
These delightful little mushrooms look like they are straight out of an enchanted forest. A cute clustered mushroom, recognizable by its smooth chestnut brown cap and slender tan stipe. They are popular in Italy & Japan, and grow wild on old poplar tree stumps. This mushroom is characterized by its crisp, crunchy texture and delicious earthy flavor. They are great in stir-fry, sauces or miso.

LOCAL LIBATIONS
Scratch & Shawnee Craft Brewing Co.
|
|
Scratch will be selling their delicious Kölsch* and Mosaic IPA** in both cans and in 64oz branded growlers - a perfect gift for Father’s Day!
You probably know that Scratch is a farm-to-table eatery located in the Easton Public Market, featuring wood-fired pizza, sourdough bread, and local craft beer. But did you know that Scratch is a collaboration between ShawneeCraft Brewery and Apple Ridge Farm — two local businesses with a history of working together in the name of sustainability?
ShawneeCraft’s motto, "Fidelis in natural, in artem fidelis.” - latin for “True to nature, True to the craft.™” - is exemplified in everything they do. The brewers follow a centuries-old tradition of producing small-batch, hand-made beers, creating satisfying blends of craft creations inspired by the fertile land along the wild and scenic Delaware River, which ShawneeCraft calls home.
*Kölsch - Crystal clear, light, and refreshing, this traditional style beer has been brewed in Cologne, Germany since the 1600s. Only German ingredients are used in this recipe and it provides a great choice for people that enjoy pilsners and other “light” beers. 5.0% ABV
**Mosaic IPA - Hazy, fluffy, and juicy, bursting with mango, tropical fruit, and citrus, this East Coast IPA is a ShawneeCraft Heirloom that is sure to please. 7.5% ABV”

Here's a sneak peek of a few of the new items coming to the market this Saturday!

If you’re one of the 102 million Americans diagnosed with high cholesterol, it’s likely that your physician has spoken to you about managing your LDL (low-density lipoprotein), the “bad cholesterol” that can lead to buildup in your arteries. As a result, you may have been less concerned about your HDL (high-density lipoprotein), which acts as a cleanser of sorts and removes cholesterol from the arteries, delivering it to the liver for elimination from the body.
It seems simple, right? The directive to lower your cholesterol means lowering the overall number.
Not so fast. There are a number of reasons why cholesterol treatment is ‘one size fits all.’ “The focus,” says Jinal Gangar, MD, MPH of Steward Medical Group, “should primarily be on reducing cardiovascular mortality.”
The Easton Hospital Cardiology and Nutrition teams will be on site this weekend offering free blood pressures and hands on CPR instruction.

Not for Coltrane & Bill McConney
|
Not For Coltrane is Michael Duck, a guy from Bethlehem with a guitar and a love for blending folk and alt-rock in unexpected ways. His performances bring together jangly acoustic rock, evocative storytelling, and off-the-cuff humor. (Coltrane was the name of his dog, who thought he could sing but unfortunately was never part of the act.) Joining Michael this Saturday in the Music Tent is Bill McConney, a hometown Easton musician with folk and indie pop roots. Don't miss this duo's performance on the North Lawn of the Circle, 10 am - 12 noon.
