Our Orders This Week
Our $20 Farmers Pick box this week.
Alright another great week as Summer comes knocking on our door. We were grateful that the forecast backed off Wednesday from the ninety-seven degrees originally predicted and we enjoyed a breezy ninety-four instead. After the weekend rains everyone's crops are jumping in the fields!

We had one substitution this week for a couple dozen Farmer Pick Orders we put Swiss Chard instead of Tuscan Kale as Signal Mountain Farm was short for their delivery. Sometimes these things happen though thankfully not too often. Signal Mountain also packaged their beautiful tasty Sugar Snap Peas in paper bags instead of pint clamshells, a less expensive and more eco-friendly packaging.
Cool Box Graffiti
"I Love Veggies" from Dr. Robert and Sasha Johns'
brood in Mt Laurel, Alabama!

It's been awhile since we highlighted some of the really great Box Graffiti we see on the boxes returned to us by Members for re-use! Thanks so much for your artistic efforts, these are just beautiful and bring enjoyment to us on the farm as well as to the other Members who get them with their Good Food order!
Looks like Jennifer Prindiville's young artists were inspired by our Baby Chicks hatching. 
Sherri Coursey sent us back this box with some beautiful Spring blossoms on it!

Weekly Recipes
Our Recipes are for our Dinner on the Grill Package
If you have never tried Grilling a Roast you'll be surprised at how delicious and easy it is! Box includes: Pork Shoulder Roast, Mixed Root Vegetables, Fennel, Vidalia Onion, Cucumber  

Grilled Pork Roast
     1. Brine that Pork!  Dissolve 1/2 cup each sugar and salt with 1 gallon water. Add fresh Ground Pepper, Red Pepper Flakes, Garlic, etc., any other seasonings you like. Place all in a large zip bag or container with a lid in the fridge overnight. To prepare for the grill drain and pat dry.
     2. Heat grill on medium setting or charcoal to medium temp (250 degrees). You want to Roast with  indirect heat: the coals or flame should be on one side of the grill and the Pork next to it but not directly over the heat/flame. Place Pork Roast over a drip pan with water in it to catch fat drippings. Roast for 2-3 hours, Will says longer is better.
     3. Sauce if you like but we generally slice it down and find it doesn't need it!

Roasted Roots
Grilled Roasted Roots are super yummy! Wash, trim and chop a variety of Roots Veggies, toss in just enough Olive Oil to coat and season with salt and pepper. Wrap up in foil or another covered container that is grill-proof, roast for 30-45 minutes or until tender and just crispy.

Veggie Salad
Wash, trim and chop  Fennel bulb and fronds, Vidalia Onion and Cucumber. Drizzle with Vinegar and Olive Oil, season with salt and pepper (or use your favorite dressing). Chill in the fridge before serving.
