Our $20 Farmer Pick box this week with the surprise Pink Eyed Peas!
|
So we had a last-minute change this week as Signal Mountain Farm reported in on their Bean harvest. They had the storms this weekend that slipped by us and they were pushed back on their picking days, just did not have time to get our Beans ready for us on time. (We did have some of the terrific Asian Green Beans for our Custom Choice orders from Living Springs Farm so we were covered there.) Next we got a call from one of our new growers, Blue House Farm, that they were
picking Pink Eyed Peas and did we need five or six bushels? Amazing. We still had some folks who got a second order of Slicing Tomatoes instead but the Peas really pulled it out! Technically Pink Eyed (or Black Eyed) Peas are Beans, did ya know that?
New Bumper Stickers
 Share your love of our Real Food with these great new Bumper Stickers from Certified Naturally Grown. Choose from two new stickers, the classic yellow "Who's Your Farmer?" or our own Moore Farms and Friends. Great for coolers, lawn chairs, water bottles, etc., not just your bumper! The first ten folks who order the new Farmer's Family Supper from The Mercantile in Candler Park will get one of these red "Eat Real Food" stickers free!

Here is another yummy idea for the items in this week's Farmer Picks!
Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salad
~ 3 ears of corn, boil, cool and cut from the cob
~ 10(ish) cherry tomatoes, quartered (or any type, if you don't have cherry)
~ 1 avocado, cut into bite-size chunks
~ 2 T olive oil
~ juice of 1 lime
~ salt and pepper to taste
~ 1 T cilantro, chopped
Toss the corn, tomato and avocado. In a small bowl, mix the oil, juice, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Toss with the corn mixture. Refrigerate for a few hours (you can serve immediately, but the flavors combine better if you let it sit for a bit).
