Our Wonderful Orders
This Week!
Our yummy $20 Farmer Pick box for this week.
So we ended up with about three times the amount of Summer Squash we expected from our farmers this week! We decided to send an extra order for all of the Farmer Pick boxes so please enjoy or share with someone you like (yes, it's already that time of the year: Squash Bounty!). On the other hand the Beets from 4G Farm were not as expected so we were short several orders of these. We replaced them for Farmer Pick $40 boxes with another pint of Sugar Snap Peas. Last thing that went on was that the Swiss Chard from Signal Mountain Farm didn't get put on the delivery truck! We replaced in Big Salad Boxes with a second Lettuce. We will note your account if you had a bunch on your Custom Choice order or as an add-on item to automatically replace it in your next box. : ) 

Baby Goat Name Vote Results!
Our little blue-eyed doeling is now known as "Kaboodle"
The buckling "Kit" is a real cutie!
Many thanks for all of the great name nominations sent in and to everyone who voted. So the results are: the winning names submitted by Member Sandy Perry KIT & KABOODLE! Close runners-up were Laurel & Hardy and Biscuits & Gravy. We're trying to get another Farm Day or Farm Dinner on the calendar soon so everyone can come on out to meet them!


City Chicks Program
The black and white Silkie chicks have feathers on their legs and an extra toe!
We are so happy to announce our Moore Farms City Chicks Program! If you are interested in becoming City Chicken owners but hesitant to take the leap we have a great option for you. We'll deliver our own farm-raised Baby Chicks, feed, a feeder and waterer with instructions for their care. We'll provide housing advice and technical support while you foster the chicks and decide if they are a good fit for you! After a month you can opt to keep them or send them back to the farm. (We also offer a Rooster guarantee: if you get a guy we'll replace it.) This is the debut of the program and we are hatching chicks this week. Here is the link for all of the details!
From the Farmers 
We are very proud to bring our farm harvests to your family's table and we always want to know what you think about what we do. Send us your recipes, pictures and stories and thank you for supporting your local food system!

Weekly Recipe
Spring Roasted Veggies
We have some wonderful selections of Vegetables this week that are perfect for roasting. Cooking Veg this way brings out the natural sugars and really changes the texture and flavors. It's becoming a go-to method for picky kids because it's easy and super tasty. Here are our tips and a few different preparations. 

Veg Roasting essentials: You will need a baking sheet that is lined or otherwise easy to clean. Roasted Veg juices can caramelize and become a beast to clean up. We don't use non-stick on the farm but iron skillets work well and we love our Silpat non-stick baking sheet from The Cook's Warehouse for this!

Veggies that roast well: Turnips; Sugar Snap Peas; Cabbage; Fennel; Onions; Kohlrabi; Squash; Pac Choi and Beets.  

To prepare:
This is a great way for kids to participate in the kitchen. Wash, trim and chop your Veg choices into bite-sized chunks. Pre-heat the oven to 350-375 degrees. Place the chopped Veggies in a large bowl. Drizzle with just enough Olive Oil to coat, season with salt and pepper. Stir, mix or use your hands to be sure all of the Veggies are coated. Spread them on to a lined baking sheet and roast for 15-25 minutes. Check a couple of times and stir the Veggies, the longer they roast the more the sugars concentrate and the yummier they are!

Serving suggestions:
- Serve just as they are warm or room temperature as a side dish or a terrific lunch with some rice, orzo or other grains.
- Season with fresh herbs, soy sauce and ginger, curry or your favorite spices.
- Mash Roasted Veggies like Potatoes, yum.
- Puree Mashed Roasted Veggies and add broth and cream or milk to make a delicious soup.
- Top with grated cheese before serving (Gilding the Veggies).
