RECENTLY ADDED For those of you who were disappointed last week because you wanted Summuh Hummus, Ethan has promised he will be bringing a larger supply this week. During his first day at our market last Friday he sold out by 5:30. I think he underestimated how popular his homemade Hummus would be. That's a great problem to have.
SEASONAL & CHANGING PRODUCTS/ITEMS
Our vendors' tables continue to overflow with plentiful produce: heirloom tomatoes, a plethora of peppers, including cayenne, green chili, banana, and bell, summer squash, beets, tomatillos, zucchini, kohlrabi, ground cherries, and for the first time this season, eggplant. Come to market and be pleasantly surprised with what additional items turn up unexpectedly on harvest day.
If you would like to purchase quantities of canning tomatoes for $25 half bushel, pre order them by calling (812) 233-7990.
Our customers tell us they like it when we include recipe ideas in the newsletter, so here's a very simple way to prepare beets.
Wash and peel the beets, then shred them. Saute to desired tenderness in butter. Watch closely as it takes only a short time. The result is such a delicious and sweet dish that you might even save it for dessert. Tip: It is suggested that you prepare extra because this dish is great leftover, cold or warmed slightly. Enjoy!
