Recipes

Roasted Sweet Potato, Goat Cheese & Arugula Sandwiches
From The Kitchn.com
I couldn’t believe how good this was! Good bread is key to making it all work.

Makes 4 sandwiches
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes (3/4 – 1 pound total), scrubbed clean
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 packed cup sun-dried tomatoes
3 ounces goat cheese
8 slices hearty whole-grain artisan sandwich bread
1-2 teaspoons honey
2 ounces arugula (4 good handfuls)

Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the lower-middle of the oven. Brush a baking sheet with some of the olive oil and set aside.

Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds 1/4" to 1/2" thick. Lay them on the baking sheet in a single layer. Brush the tops with more olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the rounds are browned, tender, and look toasted on the undersides, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool
Meanwhile, if your sun-dried tomatoes were packed in oil, place them in a strainer and rinse them under cool water. Pat dry. Mince the tomatoes into small pieces, and then mash them into the goat cheese in a small bowl. Set aside.
To assemble, lay two pieces of bread on your work surface. Spread each slice with a tablespoon of the tomato-goat cheese mixture. Add a layer of sweet potato rounds to one of the slices, overlapping them slightly. Drizzle a little honey over the sweet potatoes. Top with a handful of arugula and the second slice of bread.
Repeat as needed to make more sandwiches. Eat immediately or wrap the sandwiches and eat within 4 hours. The prepared sandwiches can be refrigerated, but the bread will stale quickly if left in the fridge for longer than a few hours..

Market News


Hello!
It’s Valentine’s Day week, and we have lots of treats for you! A sweet simple gift for teachers, neighbors and co workers is a potted hyacinth, locally grown by Turnbull Creek Farm. It comes wrapped in a festive colorful paper, and is ready to give as a present. This is a long lasting flower that will continue to open and smell amazing for the weeks ahead.

Make sure you check out the offerings from The Bloomy Rind! There are some great treats for VDay on there -Including chocolate! A Cheese Plate for Two: wedges of a triple cream and Extra Aged Pleasant Ridge Reserve paired with preserves and Marcona almonds; Cheese n’ Chocolate Truffles: Blushing Berry Chocolates in Nolensville, TN, is now owned by pastry chefs Derek and Kayla May. They’re using Bloomy Rind cheeses in three different truffles! And Capriole’s Heart Shaped Fromage a’ Trois: Chocolate chèvre with bourbon and raisins. Add a fresh baked baguette from Dozen Bakery – delivered while still warm! – and you have a great pairing for any occasion.

Also, we are pleased to be carrying a new coffee this week! The Nashville Food Project is a non-profit that is very near and dear to our hearts. They have a coffee roasted and packaged for them by Just Love Coffee Roasters in Murfeesboro. The proceeds of all the sales go to supporting their work. We will be offering this whole bean, organic coffee while supplies last. All money goes to support the Food Project and the good work they do here in nashville. Please buy a bag and support a good cause!

It’s almost the middle of February, and we are looking ahead to spring! Of course we don’t know what the weather has in store for us in the coming month or so, but it is easy to believe the hardest part is behind us and we will now see increasingly sunny and warmer weather. It is the time for seeding transplants, and as soon as the ground dries out we will be getting the fields ready for early spring crops.
The quantities of vegetables are pretty low this time of year. We appreciate your continued support of what we do have to offer. We hope as the weather warms and the days lengthen we will have new crops and greater quantities.

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

John and Tallahassee
