This Week's News from Our Farmers and Artisans
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Artisans' Gallery & Cafe
New this year, we have a "peach" brewed iced tea along with our regular black tea. Both taste great when you add some fresh lemon and mint. Our OVC this week is a "Smart Blend". This is one of three signature blends made with coffees from Indonesia and Africa and roasted to a full city to bring out its sweetness and favor. This blend pays homage to the first blend ever created, when coffee from the Isle of Java was shipped to the port of Moka in Arabia. Both full bodied and very fruit-forward, this coffee is sure to please. Purchase a bag and receive 2 punches on your Coffee Club card. For the kids, we have homemade lemonade, made with fresh lemons and organic simple syrup. Weekly Specials....for breakfast or lunch, try our baked quiche with fruit and add a 12 oz. Artisans House Coffee for $5.00. Breakfast scone + 12 oz. House coffee for $3.00 or sandwich wrap + cold beverage (iced tea, iced coffee, or lemonade) for $7.00.

Northstar Orchard We'll have peaches, nectarines, a couple varieties of apples, chard, lettuce, garlic, sweet peppers, Yukon Gold potatoes, beans, and more!
Farmer Ike's Pick of the Week: Golden Supreme Apple Sweet with a nice medley of fruit flavors. Crisp, crunchy, and juicy. A delight to eat for this time of year. They would also make a nice applesauce without the need of much sweetener. It is believed to have been a chance seedling discovered in Idaho. Farmer Ike became interested in it after reading about various taste trials it has gone through at university fruit breeding stations. We tried a few trees and liked it, so we planted a lot more, and this is our first large crop of them. Don't be scared of the yellow color!

Why not continue the healthful eating by sending nutritious and flavorful lunches to school?

Fall is one of the best times to shop at the farmers' market. Fall greens, root vegetables, and squashes start to appear while we still have summer vegetables too. And then there is the fruit!
