changes, so does the variety of foods available at the market. These will be the final weeks for Unger Farms, Big B Farm, Fleur de Lis Bakery and Happy Campers Gluten Free Breads.

Pumpkin Pie Contest - November 3rd!

 It's that season again, when damp guests are greeted with the warm smells of toasted nutmeg, allspice and baked pastry dough. Pumpkin pie has a cozy-factor that is nearly unbeatable, which is why the Fifth Annual Pumpkin Pie Contest is gracing the Hollywood Farmers Market on Saturday, November 3rd.
But the pie contest needs you to make it happen. Whether you have the recipe that won your Aunt Ethel the blue ribbon in the state fair, or you've never baked a pie before, your pie will be welcomed and adored at the Pumpkin Pie Contest. Points will be awarded for deliciousness, creativity and visual appeal. Happy baking!

Gales Meadow Farm: Pepper Roasting this Saturday!
|
Gales Meadow Farm will be roasting their Beaver Dam Peppers at the market this Saturday. The Beaver Dam Pepper is a Hungarian heirloom pepper that was brought to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin in 1912 by the Joe Hussli family. Beaver Dam peppers are included in the Ark of Taste, the Slow Food listing of delicious traditional foods which are in danger of being lost in our fast food world. It's shaped like a hefty bull's horn pepper, with rich flavor, and a mild spice.
Beaver Dam is a perfect pepper for roasting, since its flesh is substantial enough, yet not so thick that it roasts unevenly. They will offer the peppers in quart and gallon ziplock bags, ready to take home and use in sandwiches, soups, sauces, and of course, goulash.
They will also have fresh Beaver Dam Peppers at the market. It's farmer Anne's favorite pepper to saute and add to spaghetti sauce. Traditionally (in Beaver Dam) it is eaten on sausage sandwiches, or sliced raw and mixed with sour cream. If you have been enjoying the mild heat in 2 Fruits' wonderful tomato juice at the Market for the last month or so, that comes from their Beaver Dam pepper.

Carnival Squash
Deep Roots Farm
It is Carnival Squash time! These squash are shaped like an acorn, but have a flavor more like a delicata. They have slightly thinner skin than an acorn, with thicker flesh. Try cutting them open, stuffing and baking - yum! Some ideas I heard - corn pudding, spicy black beans and cheese, or chicken - the squash makes for a nice serving bowl!
Hot Sauce
Nourishment
In addition to featuring local product - including the duck and lamb - check out the new hot sauces! Ramona partnered with various HFM farmers to produce 4 hot sauces, Cherry Bomb, Oaxaca, Killer Joe, and Spicy Jimmy Nardello. The Cherry Bomb and Killer Joe feature peppers from Kimberly Farm, the Oaxaca contains Oaxaca peppers from Sweet Leaf Farm, and the Spicy Jimmy Nardello contains peppers from Deep Roots Farm.
Gluten-Free Breads
Happy Campers Gluten Free Baking
Gluten-free bread at its best! Jan and Lacy worked on recipes with their family members, who have celiac disease, to make the best GF bread, and they seem to have succeeded! They offer 3 varieties, Classic Grains, Party Hearty, and Kiss Me Garlic Rosemary, along with hamburger buns. The Party Hearty is the most nutrient dense, best described as a seeded buckwheat sweetened with molasses and cocoa. The other two breads are sweetened with organic agave. In addition to being GF, all are vegan as well!
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Camas Country Mill
This is the place to find your espresso drinks at the Market! The folks at Mocha Roma use fair trade, organic beans and do their own roasting. The fall special is a Pumpkin Spice Latte. The pumpkin spice is a little more spicy than the more traditional "pie-style" latte, but you can either opt for foam or whipped cream on top - depending on how sweet you like your coffee drink. This fall special is currently the best seller, so get one while it lasts!
Locally-Produced Wines
Laurel Ridge Winery
Stop by this family owned winery for a taste! They are located outside Yamhill/Carlton area and use grapes from from the Walla Walla region in Washington all the way to the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon. This variety of grapes allows their winemaker, Chris Berg, to make a nice selection of wines. Their goal is to make quality wines at an affordable price! Check out the new boxed wine, which is the equivalent of 4 bottles of wine, for $30.00. Also look for the Sauvignon Blanc, Rose and Gewurztraminer along with their delicious reds!
