Champaign, OH:  Rivers and Roads

Been talking about the way things change…
Rivers and roads, rivers til I reach you…
(Rivers and Roads-The Head and the Heart)

Maybe one of the most beautiful songs, to me. In my head, it speaks to me about growing up, growing apart, growing back together, and all the stuff that happens to lead you back to the ones who knew you when, knew you best, knew you before you knew you.

Since my music festival weekend, with both an old friend, and a best friend who hasn’t known me as long, but feels like our friendship has spanned time, it has made me think about my past, my now, my future.

I like to say that I am nothing without my tribe, my people, my soul mates, my circle. And, it’s true. My life lessons, experiences, and journeys, have all been because of the people who have been with me, along the way.

Much like this little local market of love. We have watched it grow, we have helped it along, we have watched it mature, and we have loved it, each and every step.

Today, I was back at it, handing out orders for order pick up day. Customers were coming and going, and letting me know how much I had been missed, last week. Asked about my festival. Were excited to hear my tales.

It’s this kind of growing together that makes people strong, bonds grow, and it’s all of this, that makes up this wacky little market that we all love to support. A big blend of a family, of familiar friends, of a trusted market.

Rivers and roads…it’s the kind of stuff that gives us roots, let’s us fly, and then let’s us all land, once again, right where our circle, our tribe, our people are all waiting…

I am opening the market for another week! We welcome you, we encourage you to grow with us, and we love you for supporting us…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Dothan, Alabama:  Market at Dothan - June 5, 2016

Dothan’s SUSTAINABLE Market is now Open

This and That

Have you ever wished you had saved a recipe, a web link or information you saw in one of our weekly newsletters? Have no fear! They are recorded in the marketatdothan.locallygrown.net website. Simply click on “Weblog” and scroll down till you find what you are looking for.

Don’t miss this week’s recipe. We have three vendors offering fresh blueberries!

With summer upon us, high temperatures are also here to stay. This is the reason you may have noticed multiple coolers when you pick you your market order. While we would LOVE to be able to have every fresh picked item in a cooler, it is just not possible. So we’re asking that you come as early as as you can to pick up your orders for the remainder of summer. Heat is only a friend of fresh picked produce when you’re cooking it.

Lastly, an ANNOUNCEMENT – Meet your Farmer is back! Next week Jennifer from Sandspur Farms (and samples, and extra products for purchase!) will be with us during Market hours. Even if you don’t order come out – meet Jennifer, try some of her stuff and experience the genuine DIFFERENCE in sustainable food!

Farm to Table Recipes

NO BAKE BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE PIE This has been a Horton family most requested summer favorite for many years. The original recipe made 1 pie and used 1 cup of blueberries, but we found that by adding a massive quantity of blueberries we could make two pies that were even better than the original recipe. Plump sweet blueberries work best. It is easy to make, travels well and is gobbled up quickly.

Ingredients
1-2 frozen pie shells
1 can evaporated condensed milk
¼ cup lemon juice
1 8 oz package cream cheese at room temperature
Dash of Salt
2-8 cups clean fresh blueberries
Whipped Topping for Garnish

1. Bake the pie shells according to package directions and cool.
2. Mix evaporated milk and cream cheese. Add lemon juice and salt
3. Fold blueberries into mixture. Spoon into pie shells, cover with plastic wrap and chill.
4. Add whipped topping to one pie before serving.
5. Hide the second pie for yourself because there won’t be any left.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend, and a great week so far. I have been very busy around the farm, trying to finalize this summer’s garden. I have noticed some of you have gotten seedlings from The Veggie Patch, I love gardening and would love to hear about all the exciting things going on your backyards/gardens. So please feel free to share, I’m always looking to learn and exchange information!

This week has been all about chickens for me, we have some new baby chickens at the farm and it got me thinking about pastured Vs conventionally raised poultry. The USDA has so many labels such as “free range”, “free roaming”, organic… it can get pretty confusing. Bill, our “chicken guy” does a combination of pasture and supplements with a non-GMO feed. His “girls” (as he refers to them) live in portable tractors out in the field and are moved to fresh pastures every day. The combination of pasture and feed leads to a diverse fat profile, higher Omega-3 content and reduced saturated fat/overall fat; not to mention they taste better. Chicken is one of the most versatile ingredients you can have in your freezer, not to mention a good and healthy source of protein. Head over to the market and check out Bill’s inventory!

ALSO AVAILABLE

• Raw Cow's Milk
• Raw Goat Milk
• Pastured, free range chicken eggs
• Pastured, free range duck eggs
• Pork
• Organic Vegetables
• Local honey

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments, as well as any feedback on how we can better serve you. I am available Monday-Thursday 11am-4pm. grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com or 770-339-3065 ext 5

The Market is open Thursday at 9am – Monday at noon. After Monday at noon, ordering is disabled until Thursday morning. Pick up your order Tuesday from 4-7pm only at Rancho Alegre Farm at 2225 Givens Road, Dacula, GA 30019. New to The Market? Learn about how it works here
