Market News

Hello!

I hope that everyone has had an enjoyable Mother’s Day. I am sending this email out early tonight. My youngest two daughters and I gave Susie tickets to see Michelle Obama tonight at the Ryman. Hold on there, that’s not true. Actually, Susie stayed on the phone with Ticketmaster for an hour back in December, jumping through hoops to get herself a Mother’s Day present of 4 tickets for tonight. We’re attending the event with her, so that counts as kind of a gift, doesn’t it?

It’s time for a special on Fresh Harvest eggs. We’re reducing the price down to $3 a dozen this week. There are lots of greens available with many options for lettuce. Since there is an abundance of kale and plenty of chorizo, of course the recipe is Pan-Steamed Kale with Chorizo.

The Peach Truck will be at the Fresh Harvest pickup this week and will be with us every Wednesday until late summer. If you receive your order at my farm or Westhaven, I’ll be glad to pick up a bag/box of peaches for you. Typically, it takes a few days for the peaches to ripen. Dozen Bakery has a limited amount of shortcakes listed.

There will be some strawberries available at pick up. If a significant amount shows up, I’ll let you know.

Pig and Leaf Farm is a new grower with Fresh Harvest this year. They produce a variety of products in Summertown. They have listed an option for a Flower Subscription for 6 weeks starting in late May. You can check out their farm at: www.pigandleaf.com

Meats, eggs, mushrooms, granola, honey, and coffee are in abundance.

Deliveries every week until Thanksgiving Week.

A reminder that pick up will be under the trees unless there is bad weather.

If an item sells out, be sure to write in the Comment section what you would like if more becomes available.

Recipes


Pan-Steamed Kale with Chorizo

1. Cook chorizo and oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Off heat, using slotted spoon, transfer chorizo to bowl. Add broth to fat left in pot and bring to boil over high heat. Add kale, cover, and reduce heat to medium-high. Cook until kale is tender with some resilience, about 7 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
2. Uncover, increase heat to high, and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid has evaporated and kale starts to sizzle, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir reserved chorizo into kale and let warm through, about 1 minute. Off heat, stir in vinegar. Season with salt and extra vinegar to taste. Serve.

3 ounces Spanish-style chorizo sausage, quartered lengthwise and sliced ¼ inch thick
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup chicken broth
1 ¼pounds curly kale, stemmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (14 cups)
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar, plus extra for seasoning
