Moore Farms
This Week's Orders 
Our terrific selection for this week's $20 Farmer Pick box!
OK another great week of our farmer's Good Food as we charge headlong into early Summer. We are happy to report that all went just fine with deliveries, no issues or replacements going on at all. Check out our tasty Kohlrabi recipes if you're looking for inspiration and come see us this weekend! We'll be at the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival Friday through Sunday as well as our Saturday Freedom Farmers Market at The Carter Center. 

Baby Goat Name Nominations
The kids the day after they were born. They are a week old today!
Email us (or include in the Comments of your order) your name nominations for Baby Blue Eyes' new kids! We need a boy name and a girl name and we'll vote for them in June.
The kids follow their Mama everywhere she goes!
They are getting to know the Chickens and Ducks in the Farmyard (they have been staying in a separate section from the rest of the goats since Mama Josephine's kids are just a few days older than them). They follow their Mama around and spend their time running and jumping and playing, when they are not eating and sleeping.

 
Pickup Location Additions, Changes & Tweaks 
A big welcome to our newest cool 
Hodge Podge Coffee Shop in East Atlanta Village! Deliveries started this week to this funky cool shop. They pick up the EAV site since our long-time host ABS Studio is moving to Midtown. Many thanks to Members Jaklin Mofardin and Jenni Shepherd for making EAV site suggestions. Cheers and welcome to Hodge Podge Coffee Shop!

Our next set of NEW Pickup Locations will start deliveries the first week of June. Both of The Clifton School sites (Clairmont and Clifton) are terrific additions for our Online Market program. A big welcome to The Clifton School families and the fine folks at the school who got our program going!

 

A few changes and tweaks starting next week for these sites:
Atlanta Community Food Bank - official delivery time will now be Noon on Wednesdays. Welcome again to this fantastic new site, you all are wonderful! 
All Saint's Episcopal - Pickups will move up a bit to Noon (from 11:30) starting next week. 
Atlanta Fresh Norcross site: starting next week deliveries will be moved to Thursdays from 2pm - 6pm
Tucker Mother Nature's Market - starting next week deliveries will be from 2:00pm - 6:30pm.

Heads-up, ya'll! The following Pickup Locations have been consistently weak and we really have to pump them up! We need a minimum of only ten orders per week to maintain a Pickup Location and cover delivery costs. Please help us spread the word! If you know anyone who would be interested in our Online Market program we need more folks to order for these sites:
  • TURNER (both CNN and Techwood locations). We know we have local/organic fans at Turner, we need to get you all going over there! We have a referral program running for the month of May so check it out and spread the word.
  • NORCROSS We get requests for your neck of
    the woods all the time!
  • SMYRNA This terrific site also has freshly baked bread  (only when available) for our Members when they pick up!
  • MARIETTA SQUARE Our host has all kinds of wonderful local products, help support this local store!
  • TUCKER Another wonderful neighborhood pickup spot, this site has been struggling for a while. We don't give up easily but we need more folks to patronize this delivery location!
  • EMORY VILLAGE
    Slice & Pint - What a great place to pick up your box! A later alternative for Emory area folks and you can get a yummy lunch or dinner. Plus, last week they started pouring their own beers! 
From the Farmers

Weekly Recipes
For the Love of Kohlrabi Kohlrabi
Three of our favorite Kohlrabi Recipes: Slaw, Schnitzel and Gratin. If this is not yet one of your "Love It!" veggies you need to get to know Kohlrabi. It's intimidating to look at but once you try it a few times you will appreciate this one for it's terrific flavor and versatility!

Kohlrabi Slaw 
Wash, trim and grate the Kohlrabi "bulb". Chop the leaves finely and mix both together with grated Carrots and chopped Vidalia Onion. Dress with your favorite salad dressing or use Will's 
Slaw Dressing:
Mix together
1/2 cup Mayonnaise; 1/8 cup Sugar; 1/8 cup Apple Cider Vinegar; salt and pepper to taste. Mix with grated vegetables and chill before serving.   

Kohlrabi Schnitzel
Wash, trim and slice Kohlrabi into 1/4" rounds (no need to peel). Dip in one beaten egg then coat in seasoned bread crumbs. Pan fry in 4T Olive Oil on medium high heat until browned, flip and brown on other side. Place in 300 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until tender. Serve on a toasted bun as a sandwich or on top of a bed of pasta with your favorite sauce and grated Cheese.

Kohlrabi Gratin 
     1. Wash, trim and slice Kohlrabi and Vidalia Onion very thinly (a mandolin works well for this). Note: you can add other Vegetables if you like, we have also used Turnips, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes and Rutabagas.
     2. Layer the sliced Vegetables in a buttered baking dish sprinkling each layer with a little bit of flour, grated cheese, salt and pepper. Top last layer with cheese.
     3. Drizzle top with 1/2 - 1 cup Heavy Cream or Half and Half, use less for a small dish and more for a larger dish. Cream will soak down into the layers. Cover with lid or foil. 
     4. Bake at  350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until bubbly. Remove cover and brown top. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
