Recipes

*Sautéed Greens with Fresh Turmeric *
Fresh tumeric really packs a flavor punch and makes cooked greens exciting again!

2 Bunches Mixed Hearty Greens – Kale, Chard, Collards, etc.
2 T Olive Oil
Juice from 1 lemon
1-2 Small Knobs Fresh Turmeric, peeled
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Rinse the greens and chop into large strips. If you are using kale, remove the center stem before you chop it.

That orange liquid in the sautee pan is flavor gold. If you don’t eat the greens right away, be sure to store them with their liquid…

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the greens and a splash of water. Sauté until the greens start to wilt and release their liquid. Add salt and pepper and a squeeze from the lemon.

Turn off the heat and use a zester to grate the fresh turmeric into the satuee pan. Toss with the greens and then serve. Not cooking the turmeric will ensure that the full flavor doesn’t dissipate.

Market News

Hello!

This Fall weather is so beautiful – the veggies and farmers are loving it!

Lots of beautiful produce up this week and a few things to point out:

The freeze on Saturday night did the bell peppers in. This will be their last week. Bell peppers are easy to freeze – just chop them up and stick them in a freezer bag to use later. The texture changes a bit, but the flavor is still good.

Rocky Glade farm has fresh turmeric this week! In addition to fresh ginger and freshThai ginger, galangal, these fresh dug roots are such a delicious treat . All have great health benefits and are a far cry from the dried out stuff in the store! When cooking with turmeric, a rule of thumb is 1 inch of fresh equals 1 TBSP of fresh grated or 1 teaspoon of dried ground turmeric. It is a very healthy addition to your meals or smoothies/juice.

The Bloomy Rind is back with their wonderful selection of artisan cheese, curated just for Fresh Harvest customers!

Dozen Bakery has its pumpkin -cranberry bread available! This delicious quick bread is an Autumnal tradition, and is great for breakfast, tea-time, dessert, and as a gift!

The freeze also did in the flowers! Flowers are done for the year! It is sad to have them go, as they bring such beauty to the weekly harvest! It was a great flower year and we really appreciate your support in buying local flowers.

Holiday time is fast approaching. We are planning on offering Wedge Oak Farm pasture-raised turkeys again this year! Delivery that week will be on Tuesday, November 24th, instead of Wednesday. The turkeys will be frozen, and you will be able to pick them up on Wednesday , November 18th or Tuesday, November 24th.

We appreciate your support, and will see you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
