Market News
Hello!
Bear Creek has plenty of 35 day dry aged filet of sirloin at $8.79 for 2 steaks.
Poussin/Spring Chicken is available from Wedge Oak for $12.
If you haven’t tried Dozen Bakery’s Amaranth and Pepita Sourdough bread, it is delicious.
The Market will remain open until Tuesday evening for you to place an order for this week. Next delivery day will be April 17th..
Here is some information on how Fresh Harvest works.
*If you see an item as Sold Out, write in the Comment section at check out that you would like that item if more becomes available. We’ll try our best to add it to your order.
• If you recruit a new customer to Fresh Harvest and they open an account with a $50 deposit, we will credit your account $10 for each new customer who signs up. They will need to tell me your name, so that I can credit your account. Word of mouth has been our best advertising. Any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated.
• Every week, we leave orders at the church for customers who cannot arrive at Trinity before 6pm. This has worked well for those who have difficulty with the 4-6pm window. Please let me know if you need me to leave your order at the church.
• The bag that you receive each week is to be brought back with your next order. We have been negligent in telling new customers how this works. Don’t feel bad if you return multiple bags, it happens all the time.
• We’re into reusing and recycling. Our clean egg cartons, honey jars, paper and plastic bags, berry containers are some of the items that we can reuse. If we can’t reuse the returned items, we’ll recycle them.
• We do guarantee everything that we sell. If you ever have a problem, please let us know and we will credit your account.
• If there are other products or growers that you think should be a part of Fresh Harvest, please let me know.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!

Recipes
Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Bacon Topping
4 small sweet potatoes (8 ounces each), unpeeled, each lightly pricked with fork in 3 places
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 slices hearty white sandwich bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/8- to 3/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
1/2 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1. Place potatoes in shallow baking dish. Microwave until skewer glides easily through flesh and potatoes yield to gentle pressure, 9 to 12 minutes, flipping potatoes every 3 minutes. Let potatoes cool for 10 minutes. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Cook bacon in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to bowl. Add 2 tablespoons fat from skillet, bread pieces, thyme, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to bowl with bacon. Toss to combine. 3. Halve each potato lengthwise. Using spoon, scoop flesh from each half into second bowl, leaving about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness of flesh. Place 6 shells cut side up on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet (discard remaining 2 shells). Bake shells until dry and slightly crispy, about 10 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, mash potato flesh with ricer, food mill, or potato masher until smooth. Stir in Parmesan, egg, melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. 5. Remove shells from oven and reduce temperature to 375 degrees. Divide mashed potato mixture evenly among shells. Top each filled shell with bread mixture. Bake until bread mixture is spotty brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
