Market News
Hello!
Welcome September! We’ve got a nice selection of produce for you this week – a nice mix of summer heat loving crops and the first salad greens. A few weeks ago when we were having those 50 degree nights it was a perfect time to seed some lettuce mix. A rarity for a Tennessee summer! It is actually a difficult feat when eating seasonally in the South to get to have a salad of both tomatoes and tender fresh lettuce at the same time!
The tomatoes are waning, although we do have a later planting that we hope will ripen soon. We hope those of you who wished to do so got your tomatoes put up for winter! If you haven’t done so yet, it is a great time to make batches of pesto to freeze for winter as well.
We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day holiday tomorrow. As farmers, we appreciate this national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
The New York Times has an article this week by Mark Bittman called “Bring Your Lunch to Work”, which is where this week’s simple salad recipe came from. Check it out!
Please remember we move up under the porch at the church if it looks like rain. The forecast is iffy for Wednesday. We are so grateful to the Trinity Church community for letting us use this space!
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you !
John and Tallahassee
