Market News
Hello!
After Rocky Glade Farm replenished the strawberry supply today, we are down to only 5 quarts. Whoops, we’re down to 4. I really expect mine to kick in soon, but it’s totally unclear how many I will have for Wednesday. I haven’t looked today. I want to be pleasantly surprised. It doesn’t hurt to put in a request for extra berries.
There are still plenty of beautiful peonies available.
Lots of good veggies left including spinach, lettuce, radishes and carrots.
We’re on an every week basis now.
The Market will remain open until Tuesday evening for you to place an order for this week.
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!
If you need to text me, my number is 615-838-0428.

Recipes
Tender Greens with Asian Flavors
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds fresh spinach, beet greens, or Swiss chard, cleaned and stemmed per instructions below, (do not dry)
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
Mix first 4 ingredients together in small bowl; set aside. Heat vegetable oil with garlic and red pepper flakes in large sauté pan or Dutch oven. When garlic starts to turn golden, add wet greens. Cover andcook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until greens completely wilt, but are still bright green, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook over high heat until liquid evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add vinegar mixture and cook until liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
