Fresh Green Bean Salad with Feta and Almonds
Adapted from The Enchanted Broccoli Forest

You can use any of our beans for this!
This is a delicious salad that you can make a lot of and have for lunch all week.

1 1/2 pounds whole fresh green beans, cleaned and trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup bell peppers, julienned
1/2 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Begin by blanching the green beans. First, fill a large bowl with cold ice water. Set aside. Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Add green beans, and keep them in the water until it starts boiling again. Remove beans from the water with a strainer [or tongs] and immediately plunge them into the ice water. Let them sit a few minutes, then move them to a large, dry bowl and add the bell peppers and parsley. Toss to mix.
For the dressing, mix together garlic, olive oil, tarragon, dill, salt, pepper, and mustard. Pour dressing over the beans, and toss to cover. Add feta and nuts, and toss everything again. Serve room temperature, or chilled.

Hello!

Happy Fall Equinox! From now on the days get shorter, the nights cooler, and crop production slows down! Us farmers are finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, meaning life gets a little less intense for a few months. We do grow and sell year round, so now we are doing are winter crop planning and planting. We’ll have kale, chard, carrots, lettuces, turnips and other cold hardy crops nestled in our hoop houses all winter for you to enjoy!
Again this week we have lots of green beans! They freeze well for using in the winter, so we encourage you to buy some extra!
The flowers are also doing great right now, but won’t be around much longer. Enjoy something beautiful in your home or share with a friend.

We have a winner for the the Bloomy Rind cheese shop’s Southern Artisan Cheese Fest . Kathleen of the Bloomy Rind generously offered two free tickets to a lucky Fresh Harvest customer. Even if you didn’t win, you can still enjoy the Fest on Saturday, September 28th. You can read about it at the website, southerncheesefest.com. This is the south’s premier cheese event, featuring artisanal cheese producers from all over the region!

Twin Fork Farm is back with us this week. Hurray!

Finally, please note that Wedge Oak Farm has made their Thanksgiving turkeys available for pre order. These sold out last year, so get your order in early! These turkey’s will be frozen, and you will have a few options for picking them up. Thanksgiving will be on November 28th, and we will be delivering on Tuesday November 26th. You will be able to pick up your turkey on Wednesday, Nov. 20th or Tuesday the 26th. After you place your deposit for the turkey, Karen from Wedge Oak Farm will contact you with available sizes and more information.

Also this year, Dozen Bakery will have pre order pies for Thanksgiving – pumpkin and apple gallete!
The Bloomy Rind will also be offering cheese trays for entertaining.

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 !
