Last day to order local! Avoid the dirty dozen...



Greetings local food lovers!

Are you buying all the items listed on the dirty dozen organic?

Based on level of pesticides/herbicides and residue remaining on the product, the Environmental Working Group created the Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen – guidelines for what you should absolutely buy organic.

Kale’s on the list so for all those who love kale sauteed as a side, steamed in a pasta dish or roasted into nutritious chips, you can order organic, local and freshly harvested Red Russian Kale from the Living Farm this week.

The Market is Open! Parsnips for Dessert?!



Greetings local food lovers!

The Market is Open!

Do you ever wish you could trick your loved ones and family into eating more vegetables? Now, you can!

We have parsnips on the market from Thistle Whistle and Abundant Life Farms and I’m tipping you off to a recipe for Parsnip Cake!

If carrots have a place in baked goods, why can’t parsnips?

Parsnips are an excellent source of fiber, folic acid and many more nutrients to put a spring in your step this season.
