Fear not, their soups are not only for the winter months; their menu overflows in light and refreshing summer flavors. In honor of Peach Month, try their Peach Gazpacho (using peaches from Alstead Farms), a cold, luscious soup perfect on a warm summer day. New this week is the Minted Garden Sweet Pea Soup using minimal ingredients; the soup perfectly combines a smooth puree with rich, heavy cream and is delicious. Get this soup soon as they make it once or twice a season!
If you prefer warm soups, Oldwick has it! Their Summer Split Pea Soup features yellow split peas perfectly mixed with spicy sausage, creating vibrant and delectable flavors. Next is the Coconut Red Lentil Soup; similar to an Indian Dal, it is a unique take on a lentil soup, a little spicy, and a perfect canvas to add your favorite additions. It is also Chef Bob's favorite!
Visit the market this weekend for a variety of exquisite soups, cold and hot!

BLACKBERRIES - 5 FACTS:
- The dark-blue color on a blackberry means they have high antioxidant levels; they are a good source of amino acids, dietary fiber, and do not contain harmful cholesterol.
- Blackberries have many names, including: brambleberries, bramble, dewberries, thimbleberries, and lawers.
- The leaves of black berries can treat mild inflammation of the gums, sore throats, and can also be enjoyed in a cup of tea or therapeutic drink.
- The first modern blackberry variety development happened in the United States, starting with Judge Logan of California in 1880, and the introduction of the Loganberry.
- Folklore in the UK states that blackberries should not be picked after Old Michaelmas Day (October 11) as the devil has made them unfit for consumption. There is some truth in this as the wet and cool weather in Autumn often causes the fruit to become infected with mold.

Ingredients
Filling:
- 4-5 peaches, sliced
- 3 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. + 1-2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old fashion oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon

- For the topping, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Then, add 8 tbsp. of butter, cutting it into the dry ingredients using a fork or pastry cutter. Sprinkle the fruit on top, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes.

- Remove the crisp from the oven (after 30 minutes or until golden brown), take off the foil, and drizzle the maple butter over.
- Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes.
