Ringwood Farmers' Market this Week?


Greetings!

Edgewick Farm's ash rubbed bloomy rind aged goat cheese, Firthcliffe

This week we are proud to introduce our newest vendor, Edgewick Farm. This small, truly artisanal farm specializes in goats' milk cheese. They will join us each week with a variety of handmade cheeses from their farm. This week's selections include medallions of their fresh chevre Canterbury, wedges of Sackett Ridge cheddar, blocks of Moodna feta, tubs of whole goat's milk ricotta and wedges of ash rubbed bloomy rind aged goat cheese Firthcliffe. Be sure to stop by for a taste and meet our newest farmers.

We are thrilled to be able to offer this quality product at the market and hope you are as excited as we are to welcome them to our market community.

"Meet Me at the Market!"

Red Barn Farm is so excited to be bringing their first harvest of yellow squash! There is a limited amount so come early! They will also have salad greens, garlic scapes, eggs, and honey.

 

Bialas Farms ~Spinach and Olive Oil and Garlic Scapes... the perfect summer side dish!  Did you know that a quick blanch is really all you need?  A 20-second dip in boiling water and the spinach will retain it's fresh, bright flavor.  Drizzle the finished product with garlic-infused olive oil and perhaps a sprinkling of red pepper flakes. Two more weeks of scapes, so get 'em in the freezer.   We just started bringing in parsley and dill so whip up a sour cream or Greek yogurt dip.  Everything, even fresh Carrots and Sugar Snaps and Radishes, are better with dip!
 
  

Snoep Winkel Farm ~ With the warmer weather upon us, I really mean HOT, don't heat up your kitchen; fire up the grill. We have plenty of cuts of meat that are perfect for grilling: steaks, London broils, juicy quarter- pound burgers, split chickens and sausages. Or how about some beef cubes to make some shish-kebobs? Stop by the booth and we'll be happy to help you find a quick and easy way to fix up a meal.
