Recipes

Romesco Sauce

This delicious sauce is good on everything!

1/2 cup bread crumbs (You could leave this out if you’re going gluten free, it will just be a tad less thick)
3 large red peppers
1/3 cup toasted almonds
1 med/large tomato
1 clove garlic
1 T red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
3 T olive oil
1 tsp sweet paprika (you could also you harissa or even chipotle powder if you wish)
Salt and pepper

Cut peppers into thirds length wise and broil (or grill). Once the skin is blistered, turn the oven to 250 and let cook for 15 mins until the peppers are soft and the skin peels away easily. Toast the almonds. Chop the bread into small bits/crumbs. Chop the tomato. Put everything into a food processor or blender. Top with chopped parsley if you wish.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Market News


Hello!

Along with a great selection of veggies, flowers (the marigolds are simply bursting!) and other locally produced items this week, we’ve got some big news to share so please read !

Firstly, how cool is it that Foggy Hollow Farm is growing fresh ginger?! This is a real treat and we hope you take the opportunity to try some of the local and fresh stuff! The ginger is listed under the “herbs” section of the Market.

We are please to let you know that The Bloomy Rind Cheese Shop is offering two free tickets to a Fresh Harvest customer for the Southern Artisan Cheese Festival that is happening at the Nashville Farmer’s Market on October 6th. Any FH customer can enter their name in a drawing when they pick up their order this Wednesday, September 19th. We will let you know at the end of the day.
This once a year event brings together over 20 artisanal cheesemakers from six states around the Southeast and is an amazing chance for you to sample these cheeses and meet the artisans who produce them! There will be plenty of other goodies to partake in as well. You can read more about this event at southerncheesefest.com.

Much thanks to Kathleen Cotter, creator of The Bloomy Rind and the Southern Artisan Cheese Fest, for her generosity and camaraderie!

We are introducing a new egg supplier this week. We will no longer offering Willow Farms eggs, and are instead getting eggs from a small, neighboring farm – Jones Tennessee Farm of Primm Springs. We have been pleased to work with Willow Farms, but wish to switch our support to a smaller producer who is able to raise layer hens in a very high quality environment. After this week, we will not be offering Jumbo size eggs – only large. The price will also go up to $4.00 per dozen.

We will continue to offer another egg option from Wedge Oak Farm. Please feel free to ask any questions or share any concerns with us! We will have some info put up on the website regarding Jones Family Farm in the coming weeks. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding on this matter!

And finally, we are making our Thanksgiving plans! We will be offering turkeys from Wedge Oak Farm! They do such a great job with their chickens and other products, so we are really excited to have the opportunity to offer their turkeys. They will start taking orders in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes out on the Market page of the website to place your reservation.
It also looks like we will be offering custom cheese platters from The Bloomy Rind for you to have on hand for entertaining, as well as baked treats from Dozen Bakery.

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