Radicchio Cabbage Slaw with Honey
from Martha Stewart Living
This is a fun way to try radicchio!
Ingredients

3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1 medium head cabbage (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 small heads radicchio (about 8 ounces), halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips

Directions

Whisk together honey, vinegar, and salt in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until well blended. Season with pepper. Toss together cabbage and radicchio in a large bowl. Add dressing; toss to combine. Cover, and refrigerate at least 5 minutes. Just before serving, toss again. Slaw can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day.

Market News

Hello!

Thanks to all of you for your patience and good humor last Wednesday with the different location and the rain. This Wednesday we should be “back to normal”, whatever that means! If it is raining, which is hard to tell right now what the forcast holds, we will be able to be up under the Church awning again.

This week we have a lovely selection. You may have noticed the first warm season crops coming in – summer squashes, cucumbers, and this week the first tomatoes! These are grown by Abe Hershberger, whom we have worked with for years. This Amish family grows using only organic methods. I asked Abe about his having such crops so early in the season, as he has no greenhouse. He heats his seed starting house with wood, and started the seeds in mid January. He kept them warm in there until they got quite large, and set them out in the field in mid March. He did use row covers to protect from frost, but it is still quite amazing they survived. One interesting tip for you gardeners out there – he said he planted his tomato plants horizontally into a trench, so that they would grow roots out of their stem. He feels that may be why they are such hardy plants.

This week we have a nice new batch of Sweet basil plants, ‘Genovese’, in case you need a few more for your garden. Also there are still some nice looking purple basil and cinnamon basil plants available.

Twin Forks Farm Bread is back with us this week after taking a week off. Please support all our wonderful other vendors – Little Seed Farm soaps, Dozen Bakery, Wedge Oak and Bear Creek Farms, The Bloomy Rind, and Tru Bee Honey. We are so honored to be surrounded by such a wonderful group of local food artisans!

We know you have a lot of options these days when shopping for local produce. We really appreciate your support of Fresh Harvest, and do our best to provide you with a great selection of the freshest organically grown produce you can find anywhere. Please know the best way you can support us small local farmers is by eating A LOT of vegetables during your week! Not only does it make for better sales for all us farmers, it helps keep you – our dear customers – healthy and happy. We all win!

Once again, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
