Market Updates | Did you miss The Local Dirt last week? Well, we missed you too. Unfortunately the Market Manager was too sick to get out of bed and there was no one else to write the newsletter. We hope you are glad it is back!

 | This Saturday, August 28th, is the first of our Market Lunch series. This is a fund raiser for the Fresh Funds Program, which increases the buying power
of Oregon Trail (SNAP) customers at the market. It's an all Hollywood Farmers Market produce meal! To tantalize your taste buds, here is a preview of the menu:
crostini
with chicken liver mousse omelette and brandied cherry
artichoke
soup with dijon whipped cream
braised
chicken leg with St. Germaine sauce and squash, pole bean, and plum salad
a
taste of local cheese
salt-roasted
peaches with white port ice cream
$30-$50 sliding scale for four courses and
table wine & beer (and non-alcoholic options) on the sunny Moon
and Sixpence patio (2014 NE 42nd Ave). Lunch begins at 1pm.
This program needs more money because it's so
direly needed that the uptake on the program is at 400 percent of our
predicted participation!
This
is a unique chance to both dine with fellow Market-goers and to keep
a great food access program going! Plus, the vendors have been
generous with their produce, so we owe them our presence at the
table!
RSVP now by calling Courtney at 971-544-1350 or send an email to courtney@dindinportland.com.
Kiyokawa Family Orchards starts the market this Saturday with apples and pears. Sadly, Packer Orchards had to end their season early due to employee issues and won't return until November. But not to worry! Confectionery and The Better Bean Company are back again this Saturday with their delicious locally made artisan treats.

Thanks for all your support and see you at the Market!

Cooking Demonstration Recipe
| Sweet Corn Biscuits with Honeyed Bush Berries and Creme Fraiche -- By Kristen Murray
This dish
is a treat in the morning, with your afternoon tea or to finish a wonderful
summer meal!
Biscuit
2 3/4 cups
all purpose flour
1/2 cup
corn meal
1/2 cup
raw sugar
2 teaspoon
sea salt
2
tablespoon baking powder
10
tablespoon chilled cubed unsalted butter
3 farm
eggs (Pine Mountain Ranch)
3 cups
creme fraiche or sour cream
3-4 cobs
of fresh corn, kernels only (Sweet Leaf Farm)
1. Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl, and rub in butter cubes with
your fingers. When the mix is the consistency of sand, add eggs, and creme
fraiche. When the ingredients are almost combined, fold in fresh corn kernels.
2. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 2 inches thick. Take a
jar or glass and cut out small rounds. Transfer to a greases sheet tray and
brush the top with cream and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake in a preheated oven
at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes, dependending on the size of the biscuit.
 Honeyed
Bush Berries
1/2 cup
local honey (Nature's Best -- Oregon Honey)
2 pints of
your favorite dark berries (huckleberries, marion berries, black berries, blueberries, boysenberries) (Unger
Farms)
1. Caramelize the honey over medium heat until it bubbles up.
2. Toss cleaned berries in the saut� pan and gently toss to coat. When
berries look glazed and are about to pop, remove them from the heat.
Creme
Fraiche
4 cups
heavy cream (Lady Lane Farm)
1/4 cup
creme fraiche
2 tablespoon buttermilk*
1 lemon
juiced
*Or milk
with extra lemon juice added (Lady Lane Farm)
1. Mix all ingredients together. Place in a glass  jar, cover with
cheesecloth and let sit at room temperature for 3 days. Chill for 24 hours, remove the top skin and enjoy!
2. I use this recipe to make the biscuits and also to serve with the
finished dish.
Serve all three together. Bon Appetite!
