Hi there!   Welcome to July and Week 6 of your Summer Share! We have had a busy week at Fresh Fork, Ohio City Provisions & Wholesome Valley Farm and we're really excited to see you all at the stops this week. First off, in case you missed our announcement yesterday or the notices at your stops last week, we have a slightly modified schedule for tomorrow (July 4th): Brecksville : NO CHANGE, 3:00 - 6:00pm Solon : NO CHANGE, 3:00 - 6:00pm Akron : ENDING EARLY , 3:30 - 6:00pm Lakewood : CHANGE TIME , 3:30 - 6:30pm Chagrin Falls : STOP CANCELLED North Olmsted : STOP CANCELLED As of Thursday, July 5th, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled times for all stops. As a reminder, it is too late to schedule a vacation this week, but if you forgot you still have a few options: you can go to any other stop on any other day this week, and unless you placed a Special Order, you don't need to let us know. Or, send a friend or neighbor to grab your bag for you. They can go to any stop (doesn't need to be your stop), and all they need is the last name and/or email address associated with your account to get your bag. ATTN: North Olmsted & Chagrin Falls : If you want to place a Special Order this week, you should temporarily change your stop first. Here's how: Sign into your account and click on the "Location" tab Change your "Drop off Location" (scroll all the way to the bottom for the 2018 stops) and click "Save" Place your order as you normally do Change it back to your regular anytime after tomorrow (but before next Tuesday at midnight), by following these same steps

SPECIALS AT OHIO CITY PROVISIONS THIS WEEK... If you've never visited our sister-store butcher shop, Ohio City Provisions , this is a great week to do it. The team over there has been busy cooking up a storm for holiday meals, and they have a ready-to-eat menu that you can pre-order (today!) and pick up tomorrow (July 4th) in store. Also great sales on burgers, brats and buns. To order: Call ahead (216.465.2762) by the end of Tuesday. No call ahead orders day of, but you're welcome to just stop in on Wednesday and see what they still have in store. Fried Chicken Bucket (and sides) We look forward to the summer holidays just to eat fried chicken! Our very popular fried chicken is back, sold as 6 pieces for $18, 12 pieces for $30 In addition to chicken, we are also doing mac and cheese, some cold salads, and deviled eggs. Live a little with the belly busting sides! Mac and Cheese . Sold in a 9 x 9 tin, ready to reheat in the oven. A creamy three cheese blend, setup with a classic bechamel sauce over some fresh pasta noodles from Ohio City Pasta. For an "our style" twist, we garnished with a little bit of house-made hot pepper flakes and candied jalapeños. Wash it all down with an ice cold beer. Cold Salads. Chefs Vinnie and Parker will be highlighting summer's bright flavors with a refreshing cucumber salad, featuring a creamy yogurt-based dressing, spring onions, thinly sliced onions, and fresh herbs. We will also have a potato salad, featuring Yukon gold potatoes, a tangy bacon fat and cider vinegar vinaigrette, mustard, onion, and herbs. Serve this one cold or warm. All salads are $6 per lb, sold in 1 lb containers. Deviled "Farm" Eggs. Everyone hates making these. Boiling the eggs, cracking them and peeling them, scooping out the yolk, and of course filling them back up. Well, that's why we have Parker. He's patient and experienced, and makes a mean deviled egg. We wanted to change it up a little from the classic preparation, and arm wrestled him and won. We'll be adding a little butcher shop garnish to the deviled eggs, hence "Farm Eggs." We'll start with Parker's base - a fluffy yolk whipped with local sunflower oil, dijon, and herbs. We'll add pork and beef - candied bacon chunks and a sweet and spicy beef jerky. The chicken, hog, and steer, all in one dish. Sold by the half dozen pieces, $8 each serving. Only 30 servings available so call soon. Ohio City Provisions will have some modified hours this week: Wednesday, July 4th from 10am-3:00pm, and Sunday July 8th from 9:00am to 3:00pm for our Staff Appreciation Day. 3208 Lorain Avenue, regular hours are 10am-7pm every day.

SCALLION-GINGER SAUCE Not sure what to do with your green onions? Whip up a quick scallion-ginger sauce. Use it on basically anything: tacos, grilled vegetables, burgers, rice dishes... Mince 2 bunches of green onions in a food processor. Add 2 oz of peeled chopped ginger (or try 2 ounces of pickled ginger, available in most grocery stores for extra tang). Add 2 tsp salt. Move it all to a stainless steel skillet or pot with high sides. Heat up a cup of sunflower oil to very, very hot. Pour the hot oil over top of the onions and step back quickly so you don't get burned. Stir, allow to cool to room temperature, and keep for a week to 10 days in the fridge.

Featured Product

CANNED PEACHES & HONEY We take fresh, locally-grown peaches and can them with just a touch of honey. A great alternative to store-bought peaches, which might contain High Fructose Corn Syrup or other additives you simply don't need. Serving suggestions: absolutely perfect with some creamy yogurt, or maybe a dollop of ice cream! $7 for 1 quart Place a Special Order

Some of the staff down at Wholesome Valley Farm tending to the new crops coming through the plastic mulch. As Trevor spoke about in last week's newsletter, this time of year it feels like the work is never-ending: harvesting one crop, weeding and watering another, and sowing and starting another. The team that manages the farm is both Amish & English (that's how they refer to us, the non-Amish), working together on 200+ acres to raise hundreds of organically-grown fruits and vegetables, animals, maple syrup and much more. It's open to the public: come visit on a Thursday or Friday from 12pm - 6pm, or on Saturdays from 10am - 3pm.
