United States Virgin Islands:  This Week in VI Locally Grown,

I hope you all have enjoyed the new items we have been bringing to the market. This week we will have even more new goodies like watermelon, parsley, and carrots. Yum!

We are considering moving the market to Tuesdays at the same time and we are definitely opening a Saturday morning market, which initially will just be non-preorders as we coordinate with our growers. We are trying to make things more convenient for you all. What are your thoughts about these options?

Also, to help grow the market I’m adding a referral bonus. If you bring a friend to the market who has never been with us before, I’ll give you 10% off both of your produce (R2R produce) at checkout, Yay!

Thanks for your continued support!

McColloms Market:  Goose Eggs Now Available

Hi All and Happy Easter!

I just wanted you to know that Beth from Rehoboth has just added goose eggs to this month’s Market Offering. This is probably the only month they’ll be available as they don’t lay many or for long.

The Market is open until tomorrow evening (Monday) at 5ish.

Thanks.

There were local vendors selling local wares, informative presentations by locals Farmers, demonstrations and plenty of activities that were both fun and educational for both children and adults. Dabrielle and Bruce Wills of My Daily Bread had a table next to ours and Dabrielle was also a “Presenter” and taught a short class on “Grinding Your Own Grains”. Jay and Patti Parsons were also in attendance and had a wonderful display of their Honey, pure Beeswax Candles and their Natural Honey Skin and Bath Products.

Sarah Rockey and Kathy Barnes were most helpful in sharing our Market information with folks and answering questions. We met many new friends and hope they will join us in our Market family!

Market Tidbits…

Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm made a trip up to Lexington, KY after he delivered our Market orders last Thursday. Although he had planned on making the trip earlier in the week, he and the family were sick and it had to be delayed. Your items that were pre-ordered will be delivered this Thursday. If you ordered any of the new Amish Products last week – which include Scrapple, Noodles or Cereal, they were removed from your order. Please re-order those items this week. Greg picked them up on his trip. Greg is adamant about quality both in the growing and in the processing of his grass-fed meat. While utilizing the processor in Kentucky adds many hours to his journey, he is willing to ‘go the extra mile’ for the quality of product and service they provide. When Greg came back to the Market about 4 months ago, the Bacon that was available was from the current processor. The taste as well as the cut of the bacon is awesome. Be sure and put some in your cart this week. I am also looking forward to trying some of the Sweet Italian Sausage!

Don’t forget, Turkeys are available for Pre-Order and average about 15#‘s. There is a limited number available, so if you like Turkey… Not all of the Turkeys that are getting fat and sassy will be offered as whole birds. Greg has plans to offer Ground Turkey and make the bones available for purchase. I am imagining lots of Turkey Bone Broth in my future!

Burnell Farms is going strong bringing us some great winter veggies! Several weeks ago they added Hibiscus Flowers, (great for drying and making Hibiscus Tea), Fennel, Kohlrabi and ’Cheddar’ Cauliflower. The beautiful and delicious ‘Violet Queen’ Cauliflower is available! Burnell Farms also offers: Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, several Lettuce varieties, ‘Savoy’ Cabbage, Swiss Chard, Collard Greens, Fennel,several types of Kale, Spinach and those awesome little Cream Potatoes!

Vicky, Steve and Matt Fry of Fry Farm have gorgeous and delicious ‘Red Kitten’ Spinach and Rutabagas! I have always roasted the Rutabagas but Vicky suggested boiling them and mashing them! Be sure and boil until just tender in an ‘open’ pot. Placing a lid on the pan will trap in gases that will take away some of the great flavor!. Drain and mash with salt, pepper, garlic and butter! Great alternative to potatoes. Rutabagas contain high levels of antioxidants, Vitamin C, Potassium and Zinc. Rutabaga is really a cruciferous veggie. It includes phytochemicals which eliminate carcinogens in the body as well as assisting the liver in processing harmful toxins. Delicious and good for you ~ Definitely a ‘win-win’!

I have spoken with Doug of Doug’s Garden who is busy, busy, busy training new helpers, getting seedlings planted and starting to harvest some items! Items will first appear on the Lilburn Market but will be available at Crossfit and Hamilton Mill very soon! This week Spinach and Bluebell Plants are available on all Markets!
Bluebells are one of my favorite plants and Doug’s Mountain Bells are exceptional! Although I am a Texas-Bluebell-kind-of-girl, (owing to the fact I am from the Lone Star State), I love the beauty and symmetry of Mountain (Blue)Bells! The picture was taken by Doug in his garden. Impressive!

When adding Mountain Bells or any other woodland perennials to your landscape, always plant them with companions that can take over when the early spring plants lose their luster. It’s important to have a multi-layered garden to keep year-round interest. Hostas, for instance, will just begin to shine by the time these bluebells are done.

Need Heirloom/non-GMO seedlings? The Veggie Patch has got you covered. Choose from their offerings of Herb Seedlings, Fruit Seedlings or Veggie Seedlings and plan for a successful and abundant harvest! Also check out their Veggie offerings!

Don’t forget to check out all of the Organic Baked Goods from Dabrielle of My Daily Bread. Have you tried her Sourdough Breads? Now is a good time because they are on Special this week! Order a sliced loaf or a round artisan loaf. Delicious! Makes great toast and croutons besides being a great sandwich bread. Be sure and get your order in before close of Market! Dabrielle uses organic ingredients to make her breads, cookies, sweet breads, muffins, jams and jellies.

Marie of Bakery on Brooks bakes Organic, Gluten-Free Breads, Cornbreads, Sweet Breads and Cookies for us. She is constantly experimenting with new items and this week you will see her Gluten-Free Butter Cake on the Farmers’ Sale Table. This cake is buttery and beyond wonderful! It’s not listed on the Market quite yet, so you will need to grab one from the Table! Get there early – they will go FAST! Could Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls be in our future?

Kathy Barnes of So-Koi and the Coordinator of the Lilburn Market has added Organic Ceylon Cinnamon to her offerings. Ceylon Cinnamon (sticks or freshly ground) is the highest quality and best tasting Cinnamon available! It has a delicate, sweet and complex flavor not found in the common Cassia Cinnamon. Kathy also offers Einkorn Grain (berries or freshly ground) and Redmond’s Real Salt.

Check your Grocery List and get your orders in before 8:00pm Monday for delivery on Thursday!

Markets close at 8:00pm Monday. Please remember that minimums must be met for each Market to ensure delivery by our Farmers! Be sure and get your order in and thank you for supporting our LOCAL Farmers!
