Hi Everybody!

Rogue Produce TomatoesLots of great stuff to choose from this week. There are orange honeydew melons from Whistling Duck Farm as well as their delicious salad mix on the list as usual. Bosc pears are on the list from Valley View Orchard. I got a list of what Valley View is going to have available through the winter, and it’s very exciting. They’re making batches of apple cider vinegar; freezing peaches, apricots, and pitted cherries; and making jams and other delicious items of all kinds!

Fry Family Farm has some healthy Romaine lettuce coming in, and Wandering Roots Farm has broccoli, topped Japanese turnips, and sweet Walla Walla onions, too.

I’ll be working with Dunbar Farms fairly exclusively now when it comes to carrots. They seem to have the best quality I’ve seen over the past few years, and now they’re back on the list—the Scarlett Nantes and Red Cored Chantenay varieties. Dunbar also has parsnips this week.

A few items are at a discount price this week, including heirloom tomatoes from Matt at Happy Dirt Veggie Patch. He’s got tons of tomatoes coming in, so they should be the cream of the crop at $3.00 a pound. I am also discounting slicer cucumbers and various squash varieties because of the low prices available right now.

My current webhost has been quite stubborn in relenting to a new home, so the new website has been delayed until next week. I am very happy with my decision to create a new one since during the process we’ve discovered lots more problems with our current site. Thanks so much for your patience!

If you’d like a delivery on Friday, September 11, please submit the online form by 6:00 pm this Tuesday evening. Remember to watch for my confirmation email within 1–2 hours of submitting your order. If you don’t receive a confirmation email, it means I haven’t received your order.

I will follow up this email with each of your updated account balances.

Thank you, and I look forward to receiving your orders!

Hi Everybody!

Funny CarrotsI am so grateful to be writing this email to you under blue skies! I hope you’ve all been enjoying the beautiful weekend.

I just spoke with Ann Marie at Swallow Springs Farm, and they have their red and gold potatoes ready. Thankfully, Ann Marie says that she should have potatoes all winter long this year, as they aren’t selling at the Farmers’ Markets.

Maria at Talent Natural Farm has some very sweet, seedless green grapes available this week, and Matt at Happy Dirt Veggie Patch has his delicious yard-long green beans available, as well as ears of sweet corn. Matt always has the best corn, so I recommend getting some while it lasts.

Watermelon and cantaloupe are unknowns at this point—I still haven’t received lists back from a farm or two that might have them available. If you’d like either one, please let me know in the “specific instructions” box at the end of the order form.

On another note, our new website is almost finished! I am expecting it to be up and running for orders next weekend.

If you’d like a delivery this Friday, please submit the online form by 5:30pm this Tuesday. Remember to look for my confirmation email within an hour or two of placing your order. If you don’t receive the confirmation email, it means I have not received your order.

I will follow up this email with an update on each of your individual account balances.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to receiving your orders.

Hey Everybody!

Eggplant HeadHope you all are enjoying your orders from last week! I’d love to hear your feedback on the watermelon and cantaloupe especially : )

We’ve got red bell peppers on the list this week from Fry Family Farm. I don’t know why, but it seems like those are coming along later this season than usual. I got a case each of Becky’s spicy and semi-spicy pickles, so those are on the list as well.

I’d like to share that the strawberries from Wandering Roots Farm have been spectacular this year, and they have a whole bunch available this week. They’ve managed to get their strawberries and romaine lettuce into Market of Choice! Wandering Roots Farm is owned by a young couple, Jeff and Anna, and it has been a pleasure to work with them for the first time this year. They have a booth at the growers’ market at the Medford Armory on Thursdays if you ever want to stop by and meet them. They even make juice with their produce—and you can have it freshly prepared for you at the farmers’ market!

Maria at Talent Natural Farm has some delicious blue plums available, and Matt at Happy Dirt Veggie Patch has some beautiful-looking Asian and Globe eggplants, fragrant bags of fresh basil, okra, and other items on the list this week.

I’ve chosen the salad mix again from Whistling Duck Farm, and I’d love to hear your feedback about this product. It is my favorite mix. I can also get a salad mix from Fry Family Farm that primarily comprises kale, chard, a little lettuce, and mustard greens—it’s certainly heartier than Whistling Duck Farm’s version. I haven’t had Fry’s mix on the list as of late, but if you would like me to make it available, please let me know. I tend to enjoy the Fry mix mostly in the fall and early spring when the lighter stuff isn’t available.

If you’d like a delivery this Friday, August 28, please submit the online form by 6:00 pm on Tuesday. Remember to include your name in the form and keep an eye out for my confirmation email within one to two hours of submitting your order. If you don’t receive a confirmation email, it means I have not received your order.

I will follow up this email with an update on each of your account balances.

Thank you for a wonderful year so far, and I look forward to receiving your orders!

The ingredients include items from Bright Earth Foods in Ashland: Raw Green Smoothie Mix, Superfood Smoothie Mix, and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. We also use the famous Smoothie Berry Mix from Pennington Farms in the Applegate Valley!

You can get your local ingredients for this recipe here, and you can purchase the Rogue Smoothie ready-made at the Organic Grind in Talent!

Rogue Smoothie

Servings: One 16-oz. delicious smoothie

Ingredients

10 oz. water

1/2 banana
1/2 cup ice

The features we love about this smoothie are that it is ultra-rich in nutrients, tastes great, and is low-maintenance—and our kids love it! We also add some fresh spinach or kale from time to time if we feel like we need fresh greens.

Watercress, Jennifer’s Way

WatercressThis recipe is courtesy of Jennifer from Medford. Thanks for sharing, Jennifer!

Note from Jennifer

I am really enjoying our deliveries! They have made me much more adventurous in the kitchen. When I received that watercress, I have to admit I was intimidated and it sat in my refrigerator for days before I felt confident enough to take it on! But thanks to Google (how did we survive without it?), I found a recipe for Watercress Pesto. It was amazing, and watercress is now my new best friend. I slathered the pesto on a portobello, threw some cheese on top, and baked it for a bit. We used the leftover pesto as a dip, put it in a salad for extra flavor, and basically spread it on anything we wanted to make better 🙂 I am including the pesto recipe below in case you want to try it. I just wanted to share since I would have never even tried to use watercress if it had not been left on my doorstep. I’m still working on the radishes though … they are proving more of a challenge. They have not made it out of the salad topping category yet. I’m still hopeful.

Watercress Pesto

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ready in: 10 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

1/2 clove garlic
1/3 cup pecans
3 oz. watercress, rinsed and dried
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbs. olive oil

Directions

  1. Place the garlic, pecans, watercress, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil into a food processor or blender.
  2. Pulse until a finely chopped paste has formed.

Notes

I adjusted some of the ingredients to get the consistency I wanted and added salt and pepper to taste.
