No Matter Where You Look!

Easton Farmers' Market.

Enjoy your market experience!

CSA Shares and Grab Bags have a lot in common -- they may include some fresh produce that you have never encountered before or have rarely used. A few years back as a member of a CSA I had a lot of kohlrabi in my box - and I mean a lot! What to do, what to do? Google to the rescue -- Kohlrabi Soup -- and it was delicious - who would have thought?
Last week I brought home a Grab Bag from EFM vendor Cabbage Throw Farm that contained Tuscan kale and cilantro which I am familiar with but don't often use -- so Google to the rescue again -- another soup recipe: chickpeas, kale, and tomato soup with cilantro. To the Tuscan kale and cilantro I added a large juicy greenhouse red tomato from Salvaterra’s Gardens and scallions from Phillips Farms, along with the chick peas, fresh garlic, soup stock, and salt and pepper. It proved to be another winner!
Here is the original recipe from
recipeland.com. I adapted it a bit but either the original or a slightly adapted version will have you tasting some fresh goodness grown by EFM farmers!
Do you have a 'Market Musing' you would like to share with EFM shoppers? Email it to alice@eastonpartnership.org -- we'd love to hear from you!

Primordia Mushroom Farm
Chemical Free
|
Primordia's barns are overflowing with golden oyster and shiitake! They have been scrambling to keep up with the harvest so they are on sale: Shiitake: $10/lb. | Golden Oyster: $8/lb
And don't miss Chicken in the Woods coming to the market this week!
Wonderful news to share: Primorida received notice last week that they have been approved for a USDA REAP grant for their whole farm solar electric installation! They still have a bit of paperwork and pre-installation preparation to do, but by the end of this year, they should be able to generate most if not all of their electricity on site with the power of the sun. Mushroom farms are electricity hogs -- requiring a lot of power to run automated environmental systems that regulate temperature, humidity, oxygen levels, light levels, etc. So this system will reduce the carbon footprint of the farm significantly, and also ease the cost of what has often been a staggering electric bill.
