A recent Express-Times column contributed by Rodale's CEO Jeff Moyer is sobering reminder of the importance of using food as preventative medicine. We're entering prime market season now. Come load up on fresh fruits and veggies to fuel a healthy body.
"When facing a threat as strong as COVID-19, we need to avail ourselves of every support system we have. Our diet is one of the simplest ways to improve our health and take control over our lives. And yet, nutrition is roundly downplayed in the medical community. Many medical students receive less than 25 hours of training in nutrition.
We need to deploy a health care system in which farmers and physicians work together to inform a prevention-based approach to human and environmental health. Regenerative healthcare is the only path forward.
We must combine what we know about the power of food with our knowledge of nutrition and our bodies, working to prevent disease through an organic, whole-foods, plant-forward diet that begins on farms that work in harmony with nature."
-Jeff Moyer, CEO Rodale Institute

Blueberry Buckle
from Spend with Pennies
|
"What is a buckle? A traditional buckle has a cake-like batter and is topped with fruit; as it cooks the cake rises around the fruit, or “buckles” around the fruit."
Blueberry Buckle takes me right back to summer suppers and cook-outs at my grandmother's house. This super moist cake is easy to make and delicious with a cup of tea.
You'll find blueberries this week at Phillip's Farm!

Phillips Farms
Just Peachy!
|
Peaches have arrived! The early Yellow Clingstone variety has amazing flavor, and as its name suggests, the peach flesh “clings” to the stone (pit) and does not pull off easily. Clingstones have a nice strong peach flavor and are fantastic for eating, but they aren’t the best for canning or freezing. Wait for the Freestone variety which comes out in a couple weeks. Blueberries and raspberries are super sweet and plentiful now too!
Veggies available this week: zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, squash blossoms, spring onions, spring garlic, garlic scapes, rhubarb, radishes, greenhouse tomatoes, beets, leeks, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, arugula, mizuna, lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, bok choy, fresh herbs and so much more!
Credit cards accepted. Online ordering available at
www.FellowFarmer.com. Choose Easton Farmers Market as your pickup location. $20 minimum order requested.

Broccoli and cauliflower are only here for a short while longer. Time for a broccoli and cauliflower salad! Here's one of Jess' go-to lightened up versions of the traditional salads
https://www.cookingclassy.com/broccoli-cauliflower-salad/#jump-to-recipe. The recipe doesn't call for raisins but our family is hotly divided on whether or not broccoli salads should have raisins lol.
Golden beets are in season for a short while and they are beautiful and add lovely bright golden yellow splash of color to salads! Can't go wrong with an arugula and golden beet salad with crumbled cheese and a sweet honey vinaigrette!
