Recipes


*Grilled Potatoes with Blue Cheese *
(recipe adapted from Bobby Flay)

Ingredients:

10 new potatoes, chopped into cubes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for tossing
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 shallot, diced
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Pinch of kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 scallions, chopped
1/2-3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions:

Fire up the grill.
Place the chopped, raw potatoes on a grill pan and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through. About 10-15 minutes. This will vary depending on the thickness of your potatoes and the heat of your grill.
While the potatoes are cooking combine the vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper.
When potatoes are through cooking, toss with the vinaigrette and some of the blue cheese in a large serving bowl. Top with scallions and remainder of blue cheese.

Market News


Hello!

It’s a beautiful break in the weather – so nice to have a a cooler, less humid beginning to August! We have lots of nice veggies for you this week, but you will notice less variety. We have entered the summer doldrums, where most crops are just plain wore out! Just like the farmers! We have more plantings of squash and tomatoes coming along, but their first fruiting usually gets delayed in high heat. Hopefully with this cooler weather we will get some good production soon.
We are also transitioning into Fall crops, and are busy seeding kales, beets, carrots, and other greens. You will notice the first winter squashes coming in. And we have lots of delicious, fresh dug potatoes on special this week!

Back with us this week is The Bloomy Rind Cheese Shop, Dozen Bakery – with peach galettes! We are also pleased to welcome back Whispering Creek Mushrooms, with their fresh picked, organically grown oyster mushroom varieties.

The Bloomy Rind Cheese shop just returned from The American Cheese Society’s national competition, where over 1700 cheeses were entered. The South was well represented among the winners! Each week, there will be at least one prize winning cheese highlighted. This week, it is Sweet Grass Dairy’s buttery Camembert-style ‘Green Hill’ which won 2nd Place.

We have Earthwind Botanicals all natural aromatherapy products and soaps, with bulk soaps on special, and Tru Bee Local honey!

Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
