Smoothies are an easy way to get a meal on the run. A fast tasty snack loaded with vitamins, minerals, and protein. This is an easy way to “eat” those greens that you may not like but that are good for you.
Bunnies love Carrots, and there’s a reason for that. Carrots are loaded with Vitamin C and make a delicious dessert to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Have you noticed that in the winter, fresh fruits and vegetables often look limp or wilted? If you are looking for better taste and nutrition, try frozen fruits and veggies. Why? Because they are allowed to fully ripen in sunny fields where they are grown.
We are approaching the March weather, which means rain, snow, sleet, warm one day, freezing the next and spring sun trying to chase away the winter gloom. You never know! That’s why we’re rooting (Hay Ray!) for those root veggies that give us what we need to get through the weather craziness.
We hope you enjoyed a real Thanksgiving Feast. Tired of cooking and want something a bit easier? Use all those leftover dishes. You can reheat them or turn them into new dishes with very little time and effort. Think about Turkey Soup, Turkey Chili, or Turkey Stew loaded with fresh or left over veggies. Or open-faced Turkey sandwiches with stuffing and gravy.
The cooler days are starting. Winter is coming. Now is a good time to think about cleaning. Not cleaning your house; cleaning your hard-working body on the inside so it will “run” better. It’s easier than you think. Our Harvest Home Farmers’ Markets are full of what you need: colorful fruits and veggies.
Tomatoes, their red, succulent and the juicy taste you can only get from our Harvest Home Farmer’s Markets. Fresh, locally grown, ripened on the vine, and picked the day before you get them. Full of taste and loaded with nutrition.

IN SEASON FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TASTE BETTER
AND ARE HIGHER IN NUTRIENTS
As our farmers' markets begin to open for the season, we encourage our consumers to come out and shop for the freshest produce available in June. And here is why: In season fruits and vegetables that are ripened on the vine and harvested or picked a day before coming to market are fresher, taste better, sweeter and are high in vitamins and fiber. These crops do not travel long distances they come directly from the farm to the Farm stand at the market.
Keep a look out for these fruits and vegetables that will be available when you come out to shop.
Asparagus, Beets, Beet greens, Broccoli, Cabbage, Garlic, Herbs, Lettuce, Mustard greens.
Onions, Peas, Potatoes, Radish, Rhubarb, Spinach, Summer Squash, Swiss chard, Tomatoes.
Turnip Greens, Zucchini.
Apples, Sweet Cherries, Peaches, Plums, Strawberries.
SOCIAL DISTANCING :
In order to ensure your safety and that of our staff and farmers here is an example of what social distance will look like.

Author: Samantha Skaggs
INGREDIENTS:
2 medium-sized yellow summer squash
Garlic salt & freshly ground black pepper
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
PREPARATION:
Place an oven rack in the center position of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil (lightly misted with nonstick cooking spray) or parchment paper.
Wash and dry the squash, and then cut each one into ¼-inch thick slices. Arrange the squash rounds on the prepared pan, with little to no space between them. Lightly sprinkle the squash with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use a small spoon to spread a thin layer of Parmesan cheese on each slice of squash.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the Parmesan melts and turns a light golden brown. (Watch these closely the first time you make them and pull them out of the oven early if the Parmesan is golden before 15 minutes. Alternatively, you may broil them for a minute or two at the end of the cooking time to speed up the browning.) Serve immediately.
