Hi there!
It's time for Week 14! We hope you all have lots of fun end-of-summer parties and cookouts lined up for the long weekend. But even if you're just planning on spending Labor Day hanging out on the back deck with the family, we have TONS of delicious specials for sale this week to make it a delicious holiday.
In case you run out of supplies,
Ohio City Provisions
will be open on Monday, Sept 4th (Labor Day) from 10-3pm.

From left to right. Top Row: Yellow Doll, Sugar Daddy, Canary.
Bottom Row: Cantaloupe, Crimson Sweet.
- Yellow Doll has a mild, softly sweet fruit that melts in your mouth. Eat it with a spoon, looks beautiful in a salad, and pairs well with other fruits like peaches.
- Sugar Daddy is our standard watermelon, with that recognizable melon-y taste that brings you right back.
- Canary Melon is the most unique, with a flavor similar to a dense, soft honeydew melon. It holds up well when cut, so good for lunch boxes.
- Cantaloupe is delicious and a kid favorite. Great for mixing into cocktails for grown-ups, too. Melon-Jalapeño Margs, anyone?
- Crimson Sweet is one of our favorites-- like a traditional watermelon but with a beautiful rose color and even sweeter flavor.
Try adding a sprinkle of finishing salt to your melon to really let the taste pop. We have a bunch for sale online this week and will bring some to the stops.

Pizza week!
Each bag will get two balls of pizza dough (whole wheat flour, yeast, kosher salt, honey & sunflower oil).
Honey-free vegans and gluten-free members: please check in with your Greeters about your substitutions at the trucks. Never made pizza at home?
Click here to read the full pizza guide. If you want to go whole-hog and make your sauce from scratch too, try
Parker's Pizza Sauce. We have 100 tasty-looking pizza and flatbread recipes saved on
our Pinterest Board, "Pizza!" so head there if you're looking for inspiration.
In the rest of the bag, you'll all have a bag of Roma tomatoes, onion, garlic, green peppers and some spaghetti squash (1-2 depending on size.) Check out this great tip on
roasting spaghetti squash evenly. Everyone will also get some peaches or plums, depending on the harvest that day.
The Omnivores will have a pound of bulk Italian sausage and a piece of Flat Rock Cheese (similar to parmesan-- grate or shave into thin pieces.) The Vegetarian Shares will get the cheese, but instead of the sausage you'll find lettuce, broccoli & Hungarian hot peppers in your bags. The Vegans will get a cantaloupe instead of the cheese, as well as some Heirloom tomatoes.
The Large Shares will have a pack of grass-fed beef pepperoni from OCP (also available for sale online--grass-fed beef, sliced and packed, 6 oz per pack for $7) as well as some broccoli, Hungarian hot peppers, Heirloom tomatoes, zucchini and a watermelon. Large Vegetarians, in addition to all the things coming in the small bag, you'll also have some Heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, watermelon, 4 ears of the season's last sweet corn, an extra head of garlic and a quart of canned peaches. Invite over the neighbors for a feast!
Sweet Corn is only coming in the Large Vegetarian Bags this week, and we're at the end of the season. If you want to buy some, we have it listed up online. Before you grill it, peel off most of the husk, so only a tiny bit of yellow kernel is peeking through. Heat your grill to medium/medium-high (350-400) and grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning it occasionally. This allows it to steam and cook in the husk, but still get some grill marks and grilled flavor all the way through. No need to soak them beforehand.

ALPINE SCHOOLS AMISH AUCTION
If you've never been to an Amish Auction before, there is one coming up that is really important to our community.
It's a great way to get a really good deal on furniture, quilts, and even appliances like lawn mowers (
click here to see some of the items listed.
) This is a well known and well-attended auction and the community has some higher end artisans like Alpine Cabinets and Homestead Furniture.
The auction is from 9-3, and if you swing by Wholesome Valley Farm on your way down, they'll have free cookies or cinnamon rolls for Fresh Fork Members and a free Fresh Fork T-shirt (one shirt per family.) Seeing a Fresh Fork shirt will clue them in to how you found out about the auction-- it means a lot to see our support in person.
